viewing areas

synchronized with equipment
• Continuous duty cycle eliminates need to shut down for
cooling
• Phase shift allows visual analysis of rotating/reciprocating
objects
• High accuracy ( ±0.01% of reading ) is ideal for QC
inspection and process control
• Synchronous output enables strobe to drive other strobes
• Flash timer control conserves flash tube life

of time; it can be harmful to the eyes.
