A stroboscope is also known as a strobe. This instrument is useful in making a cyclically moving object appear to be either stationary or slow-moving.

This instrument consists of either a rotating disk that has slots or holes in that, or a lamp (typically a flashtube that produces brief repetitive flashes of light.

The rate of the stroboscope is normally adjustable to various frequencies.

When you see any rotating or vibrating object using the stroboscope at its vibration frequency or it’s submultiple, it appears stationary.

Stroboscopes are also used for measuring frequencies. MEXTECH is well known for manufacturing all types of instruments. It is one of the leading digital stroboscope manufacturers in India for different industrial applications and industries.

Working principle and usage

The stroboscope instrument is a device used for measuring rotational speed. The fundamental principle is the use of the persistence of vision. What does it mean? It means when the light source flashes at the set frequency that is synchronized with the rotational speed of the object, you get a relatively static visual persistence phenomenon.

The main use of this instrument is in setting the ignition timing of internal combustion engines.

Also, it is used for the study of oscillating, rotating, vibrating, or reciprocating objects, e.g., vibrating string and machine parts.

When we observe objects rotating at a high speed or moving by adjusting the flickering frequency close to the speed of the moving or rotating object, the measured objects appear either standstill or moving at a slow speed.

The main use of this is to observe fast-moving objects closely through the necked eyes.

Thus, we can measure the rotational speed of different rotating objects without actually physically making any contact. Also, we can find out any surface defects or defects in the moving state by using this instrument.

Examples of different applications are gear meshing, diagnosis of vibrating parts, in textile and printing industries, and so on. They are also used in detecting the surface defects of high-speed rotting objects as well as motion trajectories.

Features of digital stroboscopes

• Modern stroboscopes are equipped with advanced technologies. They have computer aided software frequency generator and anti-jamming technology. They are useful in conducting non-contact measurement of rotational speed.
•  Stroboscopes are also used for inspecting the status of moving objects and detecting surface defects
• They have large LCD with backlight. Tus, readings become clearly visible.
•  ensures clear readings and no parallax.
• They are available in single-step adjustment or continuous adjustment methods.
• Rechargeable batteries ensure long performance and easy handling.
• Modern smart stroboscopes prompt automatically when the voltage drops below a threshold level.

Conclusion

Digital stroboscope is one of the important instruments used in different industrial applications. It can be used for observing objects and studying them while they are moving at a high speed.

Since the structure of this instrument is sturdy and exquisite, it is widely used. It is a durable and high quality electronic component.

Convenience of usage and easy handling make digital stroboscope popular in the arena of industrial and research fields.
