The Shimpo DT-725 battery-powered digital strobo has a xenon
flash tube, internal and external trigger modes and a continuous
duty cycle. It is designed for motion analysis, preventive
maintenance, printing inspection, harmonics analysis, and speed
measurement of repetitive motion. The xenon flash tube has a 10
to 15 microsecond flash duration to provide crisp images in
brightly lit areas. Xenon flash tubes have brighter light output
and a shorter flash duration than LED lights. Bright light output
is required for quality images in brightly lit areas, and shorter
flash durations provide sharper images, especially at high rates
of speed. The strobo has a 40.0 to 12,500 flashes per minute
(FPM) range and an accuracy of + or - 0.02% of reading. Built-in
multiply-by-2 and divide-by-2 functionality allows the operator
to distinguish true RPM from harmonics. Internal mode phase shift
has a 360 degree range in six seconds. Phase shift enables the
operator to adjust the focal point of the object to any point in
the rotation without moving the trigger point. Synchronous output
enables the strobo to drive other strobes for wider
coverage. The 5-digit, 8mm tall LED display eases reading in low
lighting. An integrated 1/4" - 20 Unified Coarse (UNC) ing
thread and continuous duty cycle provide permanent installation
and long-term use without the need for cool-down periods. The
high-impact plastic housing provides durability. The strobo
includes a 115V AC adapter and instructions. Strobos are
used in a variety of settings including manufacturing, printing,
education, and photography.

Strobos evaluate the functionality of fast-moving rotational
objects, such as belts, fan blades, and other machine parts. They
are used in industries such as manufacturing, entertainment,
high-speed printing, wood and metal turning, and in education and
research settings. Strobos have a flashing light (strobe)
that, when directed at a moving object, makes the object appear
to be stopped or moving in slow motion. This enables the operator
to evaluate machine performance without stopping the machine.
Strobos use either xenon flash tubes or LED light sources.
The strobe is triggered either internally, which allows the
operator to manually adjust the flash rate, or externally and
automatically by a peripheral sensor. Multiply-by-2 (2/4 or 2X)
and divide-by-2 (1/2) functionality enables the operator to
verify the actual revolutions per minute (RPM) and to distinguish
true RPM from harmonics. Phase shift adjusts the flash delay in
degrees of a full rotation, and time delay adjusts the flash
delay in seconds or fractions of a second. Input and output
features enable the operator to use peripheral sensors to trigger
flash rates, to perform tachometer operations, or to daisy-chain
strobos.
