    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?

    View this select set of stroboscopic visualization and test measurement instruments for an array of industry applications. Features such as Phase Delay, Virtual RPM, Phase Shift, Laser Tachometer, and Strobe Synchronization.

    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.
