SWIR scanning vibrometer in action

Our colleague and Sales Engineer Tobias Schröder explains the measurement on an electronics board, frequently called PCB. A shaker is used to excite this PCB broadband, i.e., at different frequencies. We measure and analyze the boards vibrations to detect resonances and locate vibration nodes.

What is the purpose of all this? It is used to detect areas with large vibration amplitudes on the PCB. With this knowledge, electronic components can be placed so that they are outside the critical zone.
