Ommatidia's Q1 system generates 128 laser beams, providing precise, non-contact measurement of sub-millimetre displacements and real-time vibration analysis.
Solving Key Industry Challenges
The Ommatidia Q1’s 128-beam system provides in-depth vibration analysis by treating each laser beam as a virtual accelerometer.
This non-contact method delivers real-time insights into structural behaviour and movements, ensuring reliability even in environments where traditional contact sensors are impractical. Whether you're monitoring a bridge, wind turbine, or industrial equipment, the Q1 delivers unparalleled efficiency and accuracy.
Traditional vibration measurement systems require direct contact with the structure, making them impractical for large, moving, or sensitive environments. The Ommatidia Q1 offers a non-invasive, precise solution, allowing for detailed monitoring from a distance without disrupting operations. Its advanced LiDAR technology can be deployed quickly, providing actionable insights to prevent costly failures or optimise performance in real time.

Q1: Vibrometry Measurement Capabilities
The Ommatidia Q1’s 128 channels utilise interferometric absolute measurement technology, making it a powerful tool for vibrometry and modal analysis. By leveraging the Doppler effect and dual slope modulation of the laser beam, it separates distance and velocity data with high accuracy, ensuring reliable performance across multiple industrial applications.
The Q1 excels at performing modal analysis, a crucial tool for understanding the vibration characteristics of mechanical structures. Modal analysis transforms complex vibration signals—both excitation and response—into easily interpretable parameters, enabling a more predictable assessment of a structure's dynamic behaviour.
