    Integrate these stroboscopes into fast-moving lines to check quality. They’re often used to inspect printed labels, rolled metal, and packaging. Channels on three sides allow you to attach them to T-slotted framing and other equipment. They shine bright and uniform pulsing light at moving parts to make them appear slower. This helps your machine vision camera and other digital inspection equipment identify defects. Connect them to sensors to trigger flashes at precise intervals in systems where timing and coordination are crucial. For synchronized usage along your line, you can daisy-chain multiple together. All come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy.
    For visibility in all conditions, they have three light intensity settings. The lowest is often used for highly reflective surfaces, and the highest works well on dark and high-contrast materials. For quick changes between processes, their memory stores up to 10 light patterns.
