Replacing a Xenon Strobe with an LED Strobe - How to increase Production, Quality, and Sustainability Goals in the Printing and Converting Industry.
A common issue we have found is making the transition from Xenon Strobe technology to the lower-cost, better illumination, and advanced technologies that LED lighting offers web manufacturers and converters. |
Stroboscopes and Vibration AnalysisUsing 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. |
