Fixed LED stroboscopes
Four models with adjustable high brightness are available for every observation need, with their innovative design they are at the same time extremely functional with an attractive appearance, improve the functionality and overall aesthetics of the machine on which they are installed and do not require any maintenance.
BINT LED STRIP
Creativity and Innovation in Stroboscopic Vision
Thanks to our special LED STRIPS, the light source becomes dynamic and creative.
The new BINT LED STRIPS are designed to offer a dynamic and flexible lighting experience, which is perfectly adapted to the needs of modern production lines. With their flexibility, they can be shaped in different geometric shapes, such as squares, rectangles or circles, or even linearly, offering unprecedented customization for optimal quality control.
They are also available in the version BINT X5 LINEAR LED BAR: mounted in aluminum profiles with satin cover for protection and uniform lighting, they offer a remarkable functionality combined with aextremely pleasant aesthetics and not invasive.
Custom stroboscopes
We produce special Stroboscopes on particular customer specifications, it is possible to request the customization of some parameters such as: length of the LED Strips, flashing frequency, number of additional lamps, type of light source, separate controller positioned a long distance from the light source.
Each request will be carefully evaluated and a detailed feasibility study will be sent
Areas of application
The applications of stroboscopes are many, in the different sectors of industrial production and maintenance, research and teaching: measurement of rotation speed, frequency or period - observations on printing, textile and packaging machines - label control - control of vibrations, mechanical deformations, cable marking, quality control - studies on the cavitation of propeller blades - fluid movement – etc.
Below we go into detail for the most important application sectors of BINT LED stroboscopes.
Principle of operation
The word Stroboscope comes from Greek and consists of two words:
“Strobe” and “Scope”.
'Strobo' comes from 'Strobos', whirling around.
'Scopio' comes from 'Skopeo', the observation.
The Stroboscope is therefore an observer of moving objects.
The operating principle of stroboscopes is based onemission of very intense and short-duration bursts of light, with a variable repetition rate. By synchronizing the blinking frequency with the movement of the object under observation, the object is always illuminated at the same point of its movement: As a result of the persistence of the image on the retina of the human eye, an apparently still image of the observed phenomenon is obtained. It is therefore possible to measure its speed, analyze its movement and control its dynamics.
To obtain a slow motion, simply adjust the blink rate slightly higher or lower than its actual speed.
The still image of a moving object can be obtained:
- with a blink frequency equal to the real speed of the object;
- with flash frequencies submultiple of the real velocity of the object (harmonic and subarmonic).
In many cases it is necessary not only to see an object still, but it is necessary to determine its speed precisely, so the stroboscope is used as a digital tachometer: this is obtained by still imaging the object and then reading the relative speed in RPM on the display.
With BINT stroboscope models equipped with flicker synchronization even from external trigger signals, this is achieved automatically, simply by applying the signal to the stroboscope: the still image will be automatically obtained and the relative number of rpm will be read on the display.
When it is not possible to have the external trigger signal, it is necessary to manually find the correct frequency using the two potentiometers for coarse-grained and fine adjustment: to determine the correct speed of an object, however, it is essential to verify that the image obtained is not a harmonic of the actual speed of the object itself. The correct way to determine the real speed of an object is to start from the maximum speed and go down slowly with the blinking frequency, the first still image obtained will be the one relating to the real speed.
Some tips may be helpful:
- knowing in advance the approximate velocity of the object is a good starting point;
- if the object to be observed does not have a clearly recognizable unique shape, for example a fan with many blades, or a motor shaft, it is necessary to mark the object with an identification mark, such as a line.
