      Stroboscopes and Vibration Analysis

      Using a Nova-Pro® handheld stroboscope from Monarch Instrument, V-TEK Associates demonstrates resonant frequencies inherent in machine vibration analysis. By matching the rotation frequency of the MVAT6-01 the strobe flashing virtually slows or stops motion of the rotor. This also captures the cantilever beam which is moving in resonant harmonics with the machine vibration.

      Why do I need a portable strobe and which one is right for my stop motion inspection and speed applications?

      Infrared Stroboscopic Technology and Life Sciences

      The Nova-Pro® Infrared Stroboscope is used with a FASTEC high-speed camera to capture ultra-slow motion, high definition videos of insect and wildlife behavior in their real-world habitats. The infrared LEDs brightly illuminate the area being filmed without the disturbing effects of standard visible light.
