MIGHTY STROBE X-1
Operating panel and display

The MIGHTY STROBE X-1 provides all essential features of a stroboscope in a lightweight body weighing only 900 g (battery included) that can be operated with one hand. The high brightness, high intensity 15 W output makes this single unit ideal for revolution counting of motors and other rotating equipment, inspecting rapidly rotating or moving bodies, and for photographic applications.

Flawless Illumination
High brightness, high intensity, with a maximum output of 15 W

Flash coverage of X-1

This small, lightweight body is capable of producing very large intensity. The matt-finish reflector delivers uniform light that illuminates an area 60 cm in diameter at a distance of 1 m. Further, it can be used effectively for visual inspections of steel rolling mills, or for production inspection of wide printing presses, etc.
The intensity can be switched between high, medium, and low according to the requirement, ensuring that the light is not too bright.

Short pulse illumination for sharp, still images

Flash duration and light intensity of X-1 and LED strobe<br /> (Tested at flash frequency 3000 FPM and at a 300 mm distance.)

A stroboscope's flash duration corresponds to a camera's shutter speed. When compared to LED strobes, the MIGHTY STROBE X-1 has an exceptionally fast shutter speed of 2.4 µs, producing stationary images of extraordinary clarity.

All functions required in a stroboscope are equipped.

In addition to the wide-ranging flash frequency of 30 - 36,000 FPM for the internal oscillation emitter, and 0 - 36,000 FPM for the external signal trigger emitter, the unit is also equipped with an output jack for an external flash signal. Moreover, the unit can be connected to a proximity sensor or photoelectric sensor for tachometer use (30 - 120000 RPM). The flash phase and time delay angle functions are ideal for research applications, and the battery-operated design allows the unit to be used anywhere.

Sensors for external inputs

Compatible Sensors

Proximity sensors: Omron Corporation E2E-X□D1 (2-wire, DC, normally open (NO) output types)
Photoelectric sensors: Omron Corporation E3Z-□6□ (3-wire, DC, NPN output types)

Long-lasting operation provided by the internal lithium-ion battery

With an easy 2 h charge using the AC adapter included, the unit can be used for up to 4 h on its L (low) intensity setting, and up to 1.5 h continuously even on its H (high) intensity setting. There is also no need to interrupt your work, as the unit can be used while it is being charged.
