A strobe light source, also referred to as a stroboscopic lamp, is used to produce regular flashes of light for various applications. The applications include photography. Trobe light sources manufactured by Excelitas are mainly for industrial purposes. Some of these light sources produce light of all frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. When coupled with the right accessories, strobe light sources can freeze motion and eliminate blur giving high-quality images with high intensity and short duration pulses. Most of the strobe light sources manufactured by Excelitas use the Xenon flash technology to deliver excellent results. These strobe lights include;
MVS-5000 Series UV/VIS Direct Illumination Strobes
The MVS-5000 strobe light source produces high-intensity flashes. The light produced by this source is suitable for machine vision applications. The MVS-5000 is powered by a DC-power source. The light source is made of a metallic body with an inbuilt fan for cooling. The metallic body protects it from mechanical damage while the fan prevents overheating of internal parts for durability. The MVS-5000 has a reflector for maximum intensity and a diffuser window, allowing even illumination of the targeted object. The Xenon flashlamp in this strobe light source radiates energy covering the full spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet (UV) to the near-infrared (NIR).
X-Series Fiber Optic Strobes
The X-Series fiber optic strobe light source is among the most reliable light sources for machine vision. This light source radiates a wide range of strobe light frequencies at maximum performance with very low energy input. The X-Series fiber optic strobe light source incorporates the latest technology in Xenon flashlamps, power supply, trigger performance, and reflector design. The light source is powered by an AC current of between 100 and 240 volts. The X-Series fiber optic strobes can be applied in both medical and industrial optic fibers. One of the biggest advantages of this source is the ease of changing lamps when a replacement is needed.
CX-Series Fiber Optic Strobes
The CX-Series fiber optic strobe light source is one of the most reliable light sources for fiber optic vision and illumination. The light source has an aluminum enclosure making it applicable in harsh and demanding environments. The Xenon flashlamp technology, trigger performance, and reflector design allow the light source to be used at maximum efficiency for a longer time. The CX-Series fiber optic strobe light is designed to produce intense light covering all frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum with low power consumption. This light source is powered by AC-current with voltages of between 100 and 200.
Strobe light sources are essential in different industries. However, their use should be regulated and approached with care. Industrial strobe light sources should be handled by experts to avoid accidents and damages. Some manufacturers of industrial strobe light sources provide training for clients who purchase them. Strobe light sources distributed by companies need to be approved by the government for safety purposes. Purchasing approved strobe light sources guarantees durability and excellent results when put to use.
