- Battery-powered digital strobo with xenon flash tube and adjustable flash rate is designed for motion analysis, preventive maintenance, printing inspection, harmonics analysis, and speed measurement of repetitive motion.
- Flash rate range of 30 to 10,000 flashes per minute (FPM) and built-in multiply-by-2 and divide-by-2 functionality provides still images and verification of speed measurement.
- Xenon flash tube with 8 to 20 microsecond flash duration provides crisp images in brightly lit areas.
- Internal phase shift allows the target to be jogged clockwise or counterclockwise in 5 degree increments.
- Internal NiMH batteries with universal 115/230V AC battery charger and continuous duty cycle provide continuous use over the life of the battery.
The Monarch 6206-012 Nova-Strobe battery-powered digital
strobo has a xenon flash tube, a 30 to 10,000 flashes per
minute (FPM) range, internal phase shifting, and 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 an
auto-adjustable 8 to 20 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
flash rate range of 30 to 10,000 FPM and a flash rate accuracy of
0.002% of setting or + or - least significant digit/0.01 for use
in slow-to-medium speed applications. Built-in multiply-by-2 and
divide-by-2 functionality allows the operator to distinguish true
RPM from harmonics. Internal phase shift functionality allows the
operator to manually rotate the target location clockwise or
counterclockwise in 5 degree increments. The built-in 1/4" - 20
UNF (Unified Fine) thread and continuous duty cycle
provides continuous use over the life of the battery without the
need for cool-down periods. The strobo includes a 115/230V
AC universal battery charger with interchangeable wall plugs 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.
Monarch Instrument manufactures devices such as tachometers,
strobos, data loggers, and leak detectors. The company,
founded in 1977 and headquartered in Amherst, NH, meets
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard
9001:2008.
