High-Speed Camera
(Microsecond Motion Analysis)
Captures transient micro-mechanical motion that’s invisible at standard frame rates—mounted on a Nikon inspection microscope for crisp, micro-scale fields of view and quantifiable results.
Capture → Track → Quantify → Analyze (FFT) → Iterate → Document
What this enables
Verify micro-turbine, membrane, valve, and linkage dynamics
Quantify RPM/frequency, tip displacement, rise/settle time, phase delay
Catch transient events (stiction, slip, flutter, snap-through)
Correlate motion with drive signals to tune performance
Deliver clips + metrics your team and customers can trust
Imaging capabilities (high level)
Ultra-high frame rates exceeding 100K fps with exposure down to 1.0 µs
Global shutter sensor, ROI/cropping for higher fps
Microscope-mounted optics (Nikon) for micro-scale FOVs
External trigger/sync I/O for frame-accurate correlation
Export MP4, analysis graphics, and data tables
Software & workflow
Feature/edge tracking (trajectories, angles, RPM) with unit calibration
FFT & frequency analysis for resonance and stability
Multi-ROI tracking (blade tip + hub + housing)
Frame timestamps, trigger alignment, and test metadata
Overlay/annotate measurements on frames for clarity
Deliverables: video clips, plots, CSVs, and a summary report
Synchronous Motor 6KRPM
Valve: 50KFPS capture – 30FPS playback

Motion Case: Micro-Turbine Blade Dynamics
Objective: measure blade tip motion and RPM stability under stepped drive inputs. We captured high-speed video via Nikon microscope optics and tracked multiple ROIs (tip, hub, housing) to extract trajectories and frequency content.
| Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Peak RPM | Computed from frame-to-frame angle | |
| Dominant frequency | FFT of tip trajectory | |
| Tip amplitude (µm) | Calibrated with reticle | |
| Rise / Settle time (ms) | Step input response | |
| Phase delay (deg) | Vs drive signal | |
| Stability / Hysteresis | Qualitative notes |
- Annotated video clip (MP4) with overlays
- Trajectories and metrics CSV (RPM, displacement, FFT)
- Summary report with methods, calibration, and conclusions
