Greater Reliability, Less Maintenance, Lower Costs

Optoacoustics' optical accelerometers and microphones help power utilities stay profitable and green. With critical equipment worth many millions of dollars and a long, demanding supply chain, power generation facilities are on a constant vigil for early warnings. When equipment fails unexpectedly, it can be a direct hit to the bottom line. When equipment performs poorly, it can be bad for the environment.

Our photonic-based systems make pre-emptive performance monitoring smart, reliable and economical. Because their sensor heads are free of electronics, the systems don’t cause interference with strong EM fields. Their non-metallic fiber optic cable also makes them completely safe for monitoring high voltage parts in power generators. Optical sensors also reduce costs of installation and maintenance, because they don’t require explosion-proof conduits or containment. Our FOSA™ accelerometer and Optimic™ microphone product lines provide the highest performance available, require little or no maintenance, and fully customizable to fit every engineering and environmental requirement. Optoacoustics offers a complete range of optical sensors for performance monitoring:  Single/Dual Axis Accelerometers for Vibration Measurement  Optical Contact Microphones for Sound Level Monitoring Key Industries Optoacoustics' devices are ideal for measuring acceleration, vibration, pressure and noise levels in all types of power generating equipment:  Fossil Fuel  Hydroelectric  Wind  Nuclear  Geothermal
