Non-Contact Measurement
The hand-held probe is used to direct a visible low-power laser onto a measurement point. The ergonomic probe enables measurements in even the most confined areas or it can be mounted onto an existing fixture for precise measurement of macro-displacement.

Simple Control
The MicroRanger^TM user interface is as simple to use as it is powerful. It provides all of the necessary functionality needed to measure linear motion efficiently. The backlit LCD displays measured displacement using large easy to see numerals. A two-color ‘signal’ LED indicates when the return signal is within the acceptable range. For those occasions when the user can’t observe the ‘signal’ LED, two internal piezo buzzers provide audible confirmation of adequate signal power.

Data Collection
The LCD displays information at a convenient rate so that the user can read each number easily. A communications port is provided on the back panel to facilitate high-speed measurements and data recording using a PC. The included software can subtract macro- from micro-motion in real-time so that vibration spectra can be collected on a moving object. The point-and-measure ability of the MicroRanger^TM can be used to efficiently collect vibration data for a statistical process control data-base.

Visidyne recently delivered a custom MicroRanger^TM with two sensor heads.  This system measures the in-flight wing flexure of a typical commuter aircraft.
