The Phaser Strobe pbx incorporates the unique design features of the Nova-Strobe dbx with an increased operating range of 30 to 50,000 flashes per minute, as well as external phase-shifting. The digital adjustment knob can select the decade for adjustments, so coarse and fine adjustments of flash rates are made quickly and with significantly better resolution than competitive units. The memory feature of the Phaser Strobe pbx allows nine flash rates to be stored - displayed in flashes per minute or flashes per second. Phaser Strobe pbx operates with internal rechargeable batteries or continuously from AC line power with the power supply/recharger.
Features
Flash rates from 30 to 50,000 flashes/minute; the all-digital, crystal controlled microprocessor keeps readings rock steady
2x /÷2 push buttons allow easy checking for RPM harmonics and allow stop motion far beyond the 50,000 FPM limit
Store and recall up to 9-user selectable values; last measurement memory, even with the power off
Individual input and output TTL jacks provide power to remote sensors and allow daisy-chaining multiple strobes
Tachometer mode allows accurate speed measurement up to 200,000 RPM using external sensors
Dual-function delays in external mode; delays adjustable as phase angle or time with resolution to 0.1° and 0.0001 seconds
Auto Step mode provides slow motion appearance for high-speed repetitive event
Backlit alphanumeric LCD shows flash rate in flashes per second or flashes per minute and delays in degrees or milliseconds
NIST Traceable Certificate included

Replacing Xenon with a LED Strobe
This case study explores how to increase production, quality, and sustainable goals in a converter application.
A converter was looking to replace an older Xenon bulb stroboscope on their Mark Andy 4150 press. After discussing the application, target distance, and width of the Web I suggested the Monarch Instrument illumiNova® 200 Fixed Mount Strobe designed for a 24″ web width with 216 LEDs and collimating spot lenses. We encourage customers to test-drive our new illumiNova™ with Monarch’s strobe demo program and after a little paperwork, we shipped an illumiNova™ 200 for them to try out.
Using Nova-Pro LED for Predictive Maintenance
Monarch’s Nova-Pro LED Stroboscope/Tachometer is the right tool to stay ahead of costly problems.
Predictive maintenance programs continue to rise in popularity as corporations, large and small, strive to increase production efficiency, reduce process downtime and operating costs, and increase overall quality and profitability.

Practical applications for White and UV strobes in the Printing and Converting Industries.As Flexographic speeds increase and the use of hybrid substrates in packaging are added, on-press strobe inspections are becoming mandatory to meet the demand. Using a pure white strobe flash, allows the QC inspector to virtually stop motion on a position on the press to determine its color quality, ink density, tint screens, and registration. |

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. |
