The ST-320BL is a portable or permanent mount
stroboscope.
Utilizing super bright high-powered black light
LED lamps, these stroboscopes are perfect for UV ink printing
applications. The ST-320BL’s LED array provides a bright, stable
strobe light over a wide measurement range with a lifetime far
exceeding xenon lit stroboscopes. Operation is simple with the
8 button keypad and quick rate adjustment dial, combined with
large, backlit LCD display. Phase shift, flash duration, plus flash
rate are all quickly adjustable. The unit can work off user adjusted
flash frequency or from a remote sensor’s signal which will auto-
matically adjust to corresponding process fluctuations.
The ST-320BL is designed for speed and frequency measure-
ments in the printing, packaging, textile, automotive, cable, min-
ing, steel, chemical, optical and medical industries in various ap-
plications.
