High-intensity, Multi-function Portable Strobe

The MIGHTY STROBE X-1 provides all essential features of a stroboscope in a lightweight body weighing only 900 g (battery included) that can be operated with one hand. The high brightness, high intensity 15 W output makes this single unit ideal for revolution counting of motors and other rotating equipment, inspecting rapidly rotating or moving bodies, and for photographic applications.
This small, lightweight body is capable of producing very large intensity. The matt-finish reflector delivers uniform light that illuminates an area 60 cm in diameter at a distance of 1 m. Further, it can be used effectively for visual inspections of steel rolling mills, or for production inspection of wide printing presses, etc. The intensity can be switched between high, medium, and low according to the requirement, ensuring that the light is not too bright.

■Short pulse illumination for sharp, still images A stroboscope's flash duration corresponds to a camera's shutter speed. When compared to LED strobes, the MIGHTY STROBE X-1 has an exceptionally fast shutter speed of 2.4 µs, producing stationary images of extraordinary clarity.

In addition to the wide-ranging flash frequency of 30 - 36,000 FPM for the internal oscillation emitter, and 0 - 36,000 FPM for the external signal trigger emitter, the unit is also equipped with an output jack for an external flash signal. Moreover, the unit can be connected to a proximity sensor or photoelectric sensor for tachometer use (30 - 120000 RPM). The flash phase and time delay angle functions are ideal for research applications, and the battery-operated design allows the unit to be used anywhere. ■Long-lasting operation provided by the internal lithium-ion battery With an easy 2 h charge using the AC adapter included, the unit can be used for up to 4 h on its L (low) intensity setting, and up to 1.5 h continuously even on its H (high) intensity setting. There is also no need to interrupt your work, as the unit can be used while it is being charged.
  • High brightness, high intensity with a maximum output of 15 W
  • Single-handed operation Lightweight of only 900 g
  • Three levels of brightness: H (15 W) / M (10 W) / L (5 W)
  • The internal lithium-ion battery allows the unit to be used for up to 4 h on the low intensity setting, or up to 1.5 h on the high intensity setting
  • Can be used even while being charged
  • A wide flashing range of 30 - 36,000 FPM (or 0 - 36,000 FPM during external signal emission)
  • Short pulse emissions for sharp stationary images (flash duration of 2.4 µs)
  • Easy-to-read OEL display, even in bright places
  • Equipped with an internal oscillator emission, external trigger emission, phase delay emission, time delay emission, and tachometer functions (30 - 120,000 RPM)
  • Measure the rotational speeds of various motors
  • Measure the rotational speed and motion inspection in a variety of rotating machinery, such as in manufacturing plants
  • Visual inspection of high-speed rotation and high-speed movement
  • Checking for color, color misalignment, blemishes, crop mark and registry guide misalignment, and other defects in printed materials
  • Measure the spindle rotational speed, yarn balloon inspection, loom timing adjustment, etc. in textile production
  • Inspection of sheet metal surfaces in iron and steel rolling presses
  • Photography and analysis of high-speed phenomena in research fields Educational use, etc.
