VIC-3D HS

The VIC-3D™ HS Vibration Analysis DIC System by Correlated Solutions, Inc. is a new addition to the VIC-3D™ product line of measurement solutions. This Turn-Key High-Speed Digital Image Correlation system can measure full-field, three-axes displacements during vibration events. Since the acquisition time is very short, the system is capable of measuring operational deflection shapes during transient events as well as the impulse response to an impact. The system achieves resolution in the nanometer range and provides full-field three-axis displacement as well as strain data.
