Modern product development demands a better understanding of the dynamic component behavior. This requires an efficient component development of just a few iteration cycles. For the measuring technology to be used, this means that in addition to high absolute accuracies, numerous measuring points and an efficient practical handling are required.

In contrast to conventional displacement measuring systems, the PONTOS system reduces the measuring procedure to a fraction of the time. In addition, the understanding of the measuring results is visually supported by an animated representation.

PONTOS replaces conventional displacement measuring systems and accelerometers. Independent of the structures to be measured, displace- ments and deformations are captured rapidly in a non-contact manner.

• Door/hood slam
• Dynamic behavior of components
• Component position in windtunnel
• Deformation measurement of aerodynamically loaded structures
• NVH
• Drop tower tests
• Verification of simulations

The dynamic measuring system PONTOS provides for any number of measuring points information about:

• 3D Coordinates
• 3D Displacements
• Deformation
• Speed
• Acceleration

These results are presented in versatile manners and are available to export as ASCII datasets. Due to a visualization of the recorded camera images combined with diagrams, the component behavior can be analyzed easily and in an intuitive manner.

The entire measuring, evaluation and documentation process is carried out within the integrated PONTOS Software. The full potential of the available hardware is used to capture and evaluate the measuring area efficiently and with high accuracy.
