Portable LED Stroboscope for Rotation and Motion Inspection
The Sugawara MIGHTY STROBE L-1 is a portable LED stroboscope designed for rotational-speed measurement and visual inspection of rapidly moving machinery, production processes, and repetitive motion.
High-brightness LEDs provide uniform illumination over a wide observation area while eliminating the routine lamp replacement required by xenon stroboscopes. Flash duration and brightness can be adjusted to match the speed and visibility requirements of the target.
30–360,000 FPM
Wide internal-trigger flash-frequency range
30–120,000 RPM
Tachometer measurement range with a compatible external sensor
40 cm Illumination Area
Uniform illumination at a distance of 1 meter
Up to 9 Hours
Battery operation at half light intensity
The L-1 also supports external triggering and tachometer operation, allowing synchronization with machinery or external sensors. Its combination of adjustable LED illumination, portable battery operation, and broad flashing range makes it suitable for routine inspection as well as engineering and maintenance applications.
High-Brightness LED Illumination
Ultra-bright LEDs provide uniform illumination for clear observation of rotating and rapidly moving targets.
Wide 30–360,000 FPM Range
The wide internal-trigger frequency range supports observation and rotational-speed measurement across many industrial applications.
Adjustable Flash Duration
Flash duration can be adjusted from 0.1 μs up to 1% of the flash cycle, with a maximum setting of 500 μs.
Adjustable Brightness
Flash duration and light output can be adjusted according to target speed, observation distance, and ambient conditions.
Tachometer Function
Compatible proximity or photoelectric sensors enable rotational-speed measurement from 30 to 120,000 RPM.
External Trigger Support
Supports voltage, TTL, open-collector, relay, and contact signals for synchronization with external equipment.
Long Battery Operation
The built-in lithium-ion battery provides approximately 4.5 hours of operation at maximum intensity and up to 9 hours at half intensity.
Long-Life LED Light Source
LED illumination reduces the maintenance time and replacement cost associated with conventional xenon flash lamps.
Motor Speed Measurement
Non-contact rotational-speed measurement and visual observation
of motors and rotating equipment.
Rotating Machinery Inspection
Observation of rapidly moving machinery components without
stopping the equipment.
Printing Inspection
Inspection of moving printed materials for alignment, registration,
and visible defects.
Textile Machinery
Observation of spindle rotation, yarn movement, and timing
in high-speed textile equipment.
Steel & Sheet Inspection
Visual inspection of moving surfaces during continuous
manufacturing processes.
High-Speed Motion Analysis
Observation and analysis of repetitive high-speed phenomena
in development and research environments.
