FLUID MECHANICS

T3D and T3DE Three Axis (3D) Traverse Systems are used for capturing image data at multiple planes in a flow with INSIGHT™ 3G software-based PIV, HFR-PIV, PLIF, or Spray Analysis systems. These traverses are also used for capturing size and velocity profiles in a flow with FLOWSIZER™ software-based LDV or phase Doppler systems. The T3D/T3DE traverse offers complete versatility, allowing system camera(s), optics, or probes to scan in the XYZ directions, without needing to change the traverse hardware configuration.

The INSIGHT 3G software macro programming feature can be used to program scan captures of image data, while a FLOWSIZER software traverse programming utility allows easy scan captures of complex profiles of size and velocity data. A hand-held remote control is included for easy set-up and positioning of the carriage.

The T3D system operates on 100-120 VAC, while the T3DE operates on 220-240 VAC.
