EDITORIALEDITORIAL
We look back to 1988, when Karl-Rainer Feuring founded
ROTEC to equip automotive developers with specializedmeasurement systems for torsional vibration analysis
of combustion engines. The success of his business idea
proved him right and ROTEC became the market leader in torsional vibration analysis. Three decades later,
the automotive industry is undergoing a major change:
Powertrain variety is increasing as are alternative automotive concepts. At ROTEC, which now belongs to the
VISPIRON Group, we are strengthening our offer in themechanical and plant engineering, shipbuilding andenergy sectors. Among other things, we equip windfarms with new ROTEC measurement and monitoring
systems. And we do not stop at product development.

Christopher Lehne, Managing Director

We are continuing to develop and optimize the qua-

VISPIRON ROTEC GmbHlity and flexibility of the measurement systems. The
longevity and reliability of the measurement systems
are an elementary component of our measuring technology. Our practical philosophy and our customer proximity, paired with our unique competence in the field of
hardware and software, make us a strong and reliable
partner. We are also expanding our range of services
with ROTEC ENGINEERING to provide our (potential)
customers with engineering advice on all aspects of
their measurement needs. We look forward to thechallenges of the next 30 years, which we will masterwith new products and services.

WHO WE ARE

MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY AND
ENGINEERING FROM A SINGLE SOURCE
ROAD TO SUCCESS
Karl-Rainer Feuring founded VISPIRON ROTEC GmbH in1988 as Rotec GmbH in Munich to provide companies in
the automotive development industry with specialized
testing systems. With the flexibility of a small company
and the commitment and ambitions of the development
team, Rotec quickly achieved considerable success.
The service portfolio was specified, tailored to concrete
customer requirements and ROTEC measurement technology for torsional vibration analysis was developed. In
2008, the company was taken over by Amir Roughani,
Founder and Managing Director of the VISPIRON Group.
Since 2017, Christopher Lehne has served as Managing
Director of VISPIRON ROTEC GmbH.

Our team and our ROTEC technology are also available
for condition monitoring, i.e. for the permanent monitoring of systems in which, for example, safety or costrisks arise due to torsional vibrations. This can play a role
everywhere: in the transmission of a car as well as in awind turbine, a steam turbine or a ship‘s diesel engine.

RASdelta MAINFRAME
The robust RASdelta mainframe is available with 8 and 16 measurement board slots. RASdelta measurement boards can be exchanged, depending on the application. Due to its compact format and low weight, thehardware is suitable for mobile use and easy transport. The mainframe is resilient and temperature insensitive, due to the integrated fan. Existing sensors and electronics of the ROTEC RAS FireWire series are com­
patible with the RASdelta series. The integrated touch panel display enables you to operate the system as adata logger without a measuring laptop. Measurement tasks with high channel counts can be completed by­synchronizing several front-ends (RASdelta cluster).

ELECTRONIC UNITSLASER TACHOMETERELLAS2The laser tachometer reads the optical pattern from a disc‘s position at any time or from a dashed band by using the reflex
method and makes it available as a TTL pulse train. The tachometer also outputs a speed-proportional frequency, similar to thescanning of a gear wheel with a magnetic sensor. To facilitate the positioning of the sensor head, the wavelength is in the visible
range so that the position of the measuring spot appears as a red dot. To process different reflection factors, the electronics areequipped with a signal processor which continuously monitors the received light.

ELECTRONIC UNITSPHASE SHIFTERELEPSThe phase shifter electronics allows users to shift the reference pulse of a rotary encoder by any number of lines within one
revolution and thus place it at the desired angular position. In this way, the reference angle can be set, for example, during valve
train tests without having to loosen and twist the encoder. Depending on the valve to be measured, the required phase shift issimply set on the Phase Shifter.

ANALYSIS AND SIMULATIONSOFTWARE
Our modular ROTEC software provides you with a user-­friendly, flexible and powerful tool for data acquisition,
analysis and presentation. The application-oriented user­interface guides you through data acquisition and analysis,
up to simulation, in a structured way. The proven operating­concept enables you to get to meaningful evaluations anddata ­presentation quickly.

VIEW MEASUREMENT DATA IN

You can configure the measurement and evaluation s­ ettingsand view at all measured values during the measurement

USE DATA EXCHANGE FORMATS
Import and export modules enable the exchange of data withother programs, so that you can easily import data ­necessary
for the analysis or export measurement data, e.g. in ASCII,­binary and MDF3 formats.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEWROTEC software is especially user-friendly and well-structured: You can preprocess data to correct measurement data errors, if
necessary, with the Synthesis option. After that, analysis follows – the core of the evaluation. Subsequently, you can use Extras
to perform postprocessing operations. You can use animations to display the diagrams in your desired layout and then output
the results after defining the analysis. You can also transfer the ROTEC diagrams to Office applications and edit them flexibly
using the ActiveX copy function.
