SHIMPO
TechStrobe

The TechStrobe and TechStrobe Kits from Shimpo Instruments is the perfect tool for slow motion, or stop action stroboscopic inspection. The Shimpo TechStrobe is the only palm size unit to include a Phase shift feature. Phase shifting allows the TechStrobe operator to advance or retard the flash timing by degrees° of angle, without changing the actual flash rate (FPM) of the TechStrobe.

Employing its unique Phase shifting feature, the TechStrobe “freezes” rotating or reciprocating machinery for visual inspection of covered gear teeth, shafts, oil/fuel/ink injector patterns, and print media; all without stopping production.

The TechStrobe is completely portable and operates up to 2.5 hours at 1600 FPM from its detachable, rechargeable battery. The ergonomically designed battery serves as the padded grip area. The battery is quickly detached and recharged while another battery is snapped into place.

Designed for right or left hand, all TechStrobe functions are intuitive and easy to use. Quality and Maintenance Professionals will appreciate the rotary and push button controls for internal flash (FPM/RPM) control, external triggering, tachometer mode and Phase shift control. The push buttons rapidly increase (x 2), or decrease (÷2) the flashes per minute (FPM) and change by degrees° the Flash phase.

Compact, impact resistant and rugged, with that balanced feeling for one-handed operation, the TechStrobe will quickly become one of the Quality and Maintenance Professionals’ favorite tools.

 



DT-721 (120 VAC), DT-725 (Internal Battery), DT-721 / 725 kit

The DT-721 and DT-725 are packed with many of the same features as our famous DT-300 series but are lighter in weight. Constructed of strengthened high impact plastic, these rugged units are exceptionally reliable and withstand the same harsh conditions as more expensive units. Both units are sold separately or as a convenient kit. The DT-721/DT-725 KIT contains a strobe, extra flash bulb, charger and rugged carrying case. One year warranty.

DT- 315P

Designed from the beginning for harsh use. The DT-315P is a rugged, sealed (IP65) Stroboscope suitable for working in areas without AC power. The DT-315P works just like the DT-315A battery operated strobe, however flash tube life is increased, so maintenance of the DT-315P is less. Equipped with Phase shifting in angle of delay (0-359 degrees) and flash time delay, (0-300 mSec) the DT-315P is engineered for checking speed, timing and wear on rotating and reciprocating machinery.

With its rugged “bumper”, sealed body, and internal (rechargeable) battery, the DT-315P provides the maintenance and quality professional, a rugged and accurate strobe-tach for inspection in harsh environments, of presses, conveyers, gear reducers, chain drives, fuel injectors, spray (paint) patterns, and many other industrial applications.
