Applications of Digital Image Correlation / VidéoTraction

Thanks to its long experience in the realization of mechanical and physico-chemical studies of materials for laboratories and large groups in the automotive, chemical, aeronautical, ..., ProViSys Engineering has adapted and expanded its range of products to satisfy all your needs in mechanical measurement.

Our engineering platforms, designed by engineers for engineers, have all the tools and solutions to overcome the challenges of predictive numerical design of a part or a structure. In addition to saving considerable time, it helps the user to improve his experience by facilitating his understanding of all the experimental parameters, to define the best criteria for his experimentation (performance analysis tool, noise evaluation tool, VFM, definition of the optimal size of the field of view...).
 

Application examples of Digital Image Correlation/VideoTraction sorted by sectors of activity

Our measurement systems are applicable to a very large number of sectors and many others are potentially concerned. We have tried to list the main ones by presenting them below. Do not hesitate to consult us for all your projects.

Aerospace

Our products are used in the aerospace sector to measure the vibration on helicopter blades or to analyze rotating structures. To illustrate what we mean, watch the video below to see a concrete case of analysis and measurement of vibrations on the wings of a...F16!
