X-Strobe Fiber Optic Stroboscopes

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

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.

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.
