OPTICAL Measurement systems FOR TAKING full advantage of DIGITAL IMAGE CORRELATION
VERIFY AND ENHANCE YOUR NUMERICAL MODELS
- Verify CAE model predictions
- Validate your FEM results
- Control your experiment and test set-up performance
- Assess the mechanical deformations of prototypes, components, and samples
ALL OUR DEVICES ARE POWERED BY OUR VERSATILE DIGITAL IMAGE CORRELATION SOFTWARE
The Alpha DIC software is an industry-recognized instrument for optical measurement and analysis of deformation, vibration, and strain of virtually any material or structure.
- Alpha follows a modular approach offering optimized ergonomy for advanced research and routine measurement
- Alpha has a wide palette of engineering testing options and software tools for any type of testing (tensile, compression, torsion, shear, flexural)
- Alpha DIC is founded upon the digital image correlation measuring technique and offers cutting-edge machine vision technology with specialized features

WHY 3D OPTICAL EXTENSOMETER?
- Prevention of measurement distortion due to out-of-plane displacement, which is not prevented by the test rig sufficiently
- Accurate measurement and determination of Poisson's ratio of thin samples susceptible to tilting (composites, metal sheets, fabrics)
- Control of 3D movement of measured samples and adjacent parts (sample clamping system, test rig frame, etc.)
- Identification of sample cracking, bending or buckling
- Identification of non-symmetric thermal expansion deformations
- Identification and validation of actual sample deformations in 3D
- Test rig sample loading issues, test rig set-up, test rig adjustment
