Vibration Analysis of PCBs for Critical Applications

Printed circuit boards used in space, defence, aeronautics, and transportation must endure extreme vibration without failure. Traditional accelerometer-based testing can’t reveal how individual components behave under load. Ommatidia’s massively parallel Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV) and Laser RADAR technology enable non-contact, high-resolution vibration analysis across entire PCBs—identifying failure-prone areas, validating designs, and ensuring reliability in critical applications.
