X-Strobe Fiber Optic Stroboscopes     

The X-Strobe Series is an advanced machine vision illumination strobe system. It's high output, long life, small size and superior reliability combine to make the X-Series the most versatile fiber optic stroboscopes available. These products incorporate the latest innovations in Xenon flashlamp technology, Power supply engineering, trigger performance and reflector design while meeting CE requirements.

Fiberoptic Stroboscope
X-Strobe pictured with optional nosepiece and
fiber optic bundle.


The Xenon Flashlamp produces intense pulses of radiant energy covering the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS) and near infrared (NIR). When coupled to a CCD/CID camera system, the strobe "freezes motion" which eliminates blur and enhances image quality. Several variations of the X-Strobe Series are available; each optimized for maximum light output at a specific flash rate. External signal inputs allow you to further customize the stroboscope to your unique application.

Features

  • High intensity bright white light
  • Small overall size
  • Long Life Flash lamp
  • Improved flash stability
  • Universal AC input (100-240 VAC)
  • CE designed
  • Inputs for external trigger and intensity control
  • Easy lamp replacement
