In modern fluid dynamics, the complexity of an experiment should never compromise the quality of the data. Our automation ecosystem transforms PIV from a manual, time-consuming process into a streamlined, high-precision workflow. By integrating motorized hardware with our central PIV System Manager, we allow you to control the entire physical setup from your control room, whether you are managing a large wind tunnel or a complex towing tank.
The "Move & Control" Ecosystem
Automation is not limited to a single robot. It is embedded in every component we build. From the smallest lens adjustment to the largest traversing system, our components communicate to create a synchronized measurement environment with high precision and repeatability.
Here are some examples:
All automated components converge in the PIV System Manager. This software acts as the conductor, synchronizing mechanical movement with data acquisition. It allows you to define complex sequences, such as traversing a volume while tuning laser energy at every step, turning days of manual alignment into hours of autonomous data collection. And only minutes to get the results automatically to your screen.

Here are some examples:
- RoboPIV: The ultimate expression of our automation philosophy. Industrial robots handle the precise positioning of cameras and lasers, executing complex scanning trajectories with sub-millimeter repeatability.
- Optical Automation: Forget the shouting. Remotely adjust the focal point of your light sheet, change the scheimpflug angle, or tune the camera angle relative to the flow, all via software.
- Beam Shaping: Control the geometry of your illumination instantly. Motorized laser flaps allow you to slice the light sheet to fit confined spaces, while motorized mirrors direct the energy exactly where it needs to be.
- Lens Control: Our systems integrate remote control for focus and aperture, ensuring sharp particle images without ever touching the camera.
- Laser Management: Adjust laser power and timing sequences automatically to match changing flow velocities or capture rates.

Key Advantages
- Total Remote Access: Control focus, aperture, Scheimpflug tilt, and light sheet thickness from the safety of your control room.
- Reproducible Accuracy: Replace manual "tuning" with precise, digital values that can be saved, recalled, and repeated perfectly.
- Complex Scans: Enable volumetric scanning and time-resolved sequences that take days with manual setups.
- Safety: Keep operators away from high-power lasers by digitizing every adjustment.
