In order to improve the safety, lifetime, and energy efficiency of turbomachines, the dynamic behavior of the rotor has to be analyzed. Blade vibrations have to be monitored during operation to optimize the rotor design and to validate numerical models. However, measuring the vibration amplitude and frequency of the blades is a challenging task for metrology, since the blades to be measured are rotating quickly, and noncontact measurements are demanded. To solve this problem, we present a measurement system consisting of four laser Doppler sensors that have been mounted around the circumference of the rotor. These sensors measure simultaneously and contactlessly the in-plane velocity and the out-of-plane position of laterally moving objects. By analyzing the variation of the blade tip velocities, the vibration amplitude and frequency of the blades were estimated. Blade vibration measurements down to amplitudes of only 20 μm in tangential direction have been carried out. We achieved a standard uncertainty of approximately 400 nm for these experiments.
