Triaxial Vibration Monitor
Application
This instrument contains all components for triaxial measurement and monitoring of vibrations. Main application is the measurement of structural vibration at buildings, bridges, towers, pipelines and other large structures. Such vibrations can be evaluated with regard to possible damages to the structure itself or to disturbance of persons inside buildings. The VM40 was designed for autonomous operation over longer time intervals, for example at construction sites.
