Nova-Strobe X Digital Series Portable Stroboscopes
The dbx offers powerful features for both diagnostic inspection and speed measurements. Lightweight and bright with flash rates to 20,000 flashes per minute, these strobes are comfortable to hold and easy to operate.
The dbx Battery-Powered Stroboscope weighs only 1.9 lbs. (0.86 kg) and will run continuously for 2 hours on a single charge. A fast charger is included and the percentage charge remaining may be displayed. The unit is CE-certified.
High-intensity, multi-functional portable xenon stroboscope with digital displays. This strobe offers a range of useful features that provide unmatched performance and value.
To see the latest in portable stroboscope technology, take a look at the Nova-Pro 300!
Features
- Flash rates from 30 to 20,000 flashes per minute, adjustable in 0.1 step increments, the coarse/fine adjustment knob makes it quick and easy to set the exact flash rate you want; the all-digital controlled microprocessor keeps readings rock steady
- Internal phase-shifting allows the target to be jogged clockwise or counterclockwise in 5° increments
- Times 2 (x2) and Divide by 2 (÷2) push buttons allow easy checking for actual RPM, harmonics and allow stop motion far beyond the 20,000 FPM limit
- Store and recall up to 6-user selectable values; fast measurement memory, even with the power off
- Flash rate may be displayed in Flashes Per Minute (FPM) or flashes per second (Hz)
- Individual input and output TTL jacks (1/8 inch phone) provide power to remote sensors and allow daisy-chaining of multiple strobes
- Tachometer mode allows accurate speed measurement up to 250,000 RPM using external sensors
- NIST Traceable Certificate included

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. |
