Optical Pendulum Readout

Optical Pendulum Readout

The Optical Pendulum Readout (Coordinometer) is an advanced instrument designed for precise measurement of horizontal movements in structures such as dams, towers, and other slender or tall buildings. It is part of a high-accuracy pendulum system used to monitor the structural stability of large civil engineering projects.

The system uses an optical sensor to detect and measure the angular displacement of a pendulum, which is suspended from a fixed point and influenced by any structural movements. The Optical Pendulum Readout allows for contactless, non-intrusive measurement of displacements, ensuring high reliability and accuracy. The instrument's design is optimized for easy installation and operation, providing continuous, real-time monitoring of structural movements.

Key applications include monitoring dams, high-rise buildings, bell towers, and other structures where precise movement measurement is crucial. It offers a stable and durable solution for long-term monitoring of structural health.

Typically used in conjunction with Direct & Inverted Pendulums.
