Various Measurement Capabilities

NSMS probes can be configured to measure any component of the dynamic deflection such as axial, tangential, radial.

The example shows the directions of axial (green), tangential (blue), and radial (red) deflections on a blade.

High Temperature Capabilities

Another AMS advantage is our high temperature capability. Agilis Measusrement Systems can test in high resolution using optical probes in environments exceeding 1800 degrees Farenheit. Superior materials selection and design make testing on rocket pumps and high pressure turbines possible.

Other problems commonly associated with higher temperatures (such as black body radiation) are negated by utilizing IR (irradiation) filters.

Dirty Gas Path

Purge air forced through the probe bodies and out of the heads keeps the optical heads clean while regulating probe temperature. In the dirtiest environments, high quality Eddy Current probes record blade passings with crystal clear accuracy.
