 LIMESS Q400

 

With the Q400 system, the 2D or 3D deformation analysis is performed in a precise, fast and user-friendly manner. The system is also characterized by the high flexibility of the optical setup and can thus be optimally adapted to the application. The intuitive measuring software Istra4D provides, in addition to the spatial measured values displacement, deformation, strain, coordinates, etc. also the corresponding measuring accuracy for each measured value.

 Measuring principle:
One or more digital cameras record the deformation process. The object surface must have a stochastic (natural or prepared) pattern ("speckle pattern"). The images are automatically evaluated using subpixel-accurate image correlation algorithms. These assign the local surface pattern to the camera pixels.
