Shimpo LS-9-12000 Web Inspection Stroboscope
Unmatched brightness, sharpness and uniformity from any strobe in its class
9 inch Enclosure width, 10 µs (microseconds) flash duration providing 2000 mJ flash energy
The new Shimpo LS-9-12000 Web Inspection Stroboscope is designed for fixed mounting on all machinery that utilize a strobe for visual inspection including, rewinders, slitters and similar process equipment in the label printing and process market as well as many others markets including vibration analyzers, balancers, metal producing equipment and much more.
The LS-9's flash rate can be externally triggered by an external sensor/controller on the process machine or the following optional accessories; the LS-FCM Flash Control Module or the LS-SCU Remote Strobe Controller. Refer to separate webpage on these accessories by clicking the links in RELATED PRODUCTS section. The strobe operates using 24V DC (18 - 28V DC) using power already available on the machine or by using the our worldwide AC-DC power adapter available as an option.
The Shimpo LS-9-12000 Stroboscope produces an extremely bright, sharp image employing a quartz glass xenon tube with extremely short flash duration of less than 10µs allowing detailed visual inspection of fast-moving targets. While under observation, when the flash rate is synchronized with the "repeat rate" of the web material, the image will appear "frozen" allowing for convenient inspection.
The brightness, sharpness and uniform light output provided by the LS-9 makes this model an excellent choice for fixed applications. It is especially well-suited for use on narrow web equipment up to 24 inches in width (600 mm width) and even wider. 2 or more strobes can be combined in a Master/Slave arrangement when wider web widths must be covered
Features
- Unmatched image brightness (2500 Lux) along with best sharpness and light uniformity from any strobe in its class
- Two (2) or more LS-9 Strobes can be connected to each other for wider web coverage
- Uses long-life Quartz Glass Xenon linear tube with lifetime of over 200 Million flashes
- CE-certified with safety and EMV approvals suitable for use worldwide
- Extremely short flash duration of less than 10 microseconds (µs) provides for a super-sharp image for easy observation
- Threading holes provided for fixed-mounting on machine frame or articulating arm
- Can be powered using 24V DC already available on the machine or using option AC-DC power adapter.
- Adjustable light intensity 30-100% to optimize brightness for any application
- Externally triggered using industry standard TTL-type square-wave signal at rates up to 208Hz and even higher
- Optional UV-KIT provides for illumination of UV Inks and adhesives allowing for visual inspection by operators
- 9 inch wide (230 mm) aluminum enclosure efficiently dissipates heat eliminating need for bulky heat sinks
