How to Build a Sensor System

Complete this interactive engineering questionnaire to configure your ideal Philtec sensor architecture.

01/

Target Surface Motion

Target surface movement profiles determine the optimal optics orientation (D vs RC).

Single Axis Motion (D Model) actuators, pistons & valves Reflectance Dependent. Perfect for micro-vibration testing on constant surfaces. Multi-Axis / Varying Reflectance (RC Model) Reflectance Compensated. Essential for targets moving laterally, or rotating targets, with varying reflectivity surfaces.
