Stroboscopes cover a wide field of applications such as film, paper and print for production, research and development or quality control

The human eye is not able to perceive single objects during quick and repeated moving processes. By using a stroboscope these processes can be easily viewed. Light flashes produced synchronise to the movement illuminate the moving process continuously in the same position, leading to the creation of an apparent static picture. Vibrations, rotational and other periodical processes can be observed.

The new HELIO-STROB UV365 stroboscope for the monitoring of security features

The latest stroboscope added to the successful HELIO-STROB range by ELMED extends the range of possible applications to the UV-A spectrum by adding the HELIO-STROB UV365. Thanks to the UV LEDs the stroboscope can make fluorescent security features visible in the ongoing production process.

With the UV stroboscope light source the user can emit extremely short and efficient light pulses with a wave length of 365 nm. The results are high contrast images without any motion blur at up to 400 frames per second.

The functional range in LED design covers consistent, continuous brightness in the complete frequency range, slow-motion observation or change of the observation point (phase shift). Optionally the HELIO-STROB UV365 can be operated with a high-performance hand lamp (for the visible light spectrum) and thus becomes a true “all-rounder” for the monitoring of printing webs.

Typical fields of applications:

Textile industry, printing and paper industry, optical industry, engines, turbines, automotive engineering, packaging, vibration analysis, chemical industry, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, film production, medical applications, filling, high-speed video and more.
