PCE-OM 200 stroboscope portable stroboscope for the professional sector, with rechargeable batteries available in two models with different range of measurement and accuracy
This stroboscope are generally used for measuring rotation or observing movement. The stroboscope is compact and light weight allowing them to be used comfortably in places that are difficult to access. That they can be used over long periods of time makes them an essential tool for professionals in a wide range of applications. The stroboscope has a trigger input available making possible an external synchronization and activation. The stroboscope is powered by an internal rechargeable battery making the device completely flexible in how it can be used. The keypad allows the user to quickly select double or half the revolutions. Other measuring instruments can be found at our home page. This following link has information about the use of strobosocopes.

Trigger input / Display
By way of the trigger, the stroboscope can be easily controlled by hand, such as in measuring the velocity of an external machinery. It is connected via a 2-pin NPN connector whihc is compatible with a TTL connection. The flash's frequency by truning an adjustment knob, which is disabled while the Trigger is plugged into the device. A connection cable is available for the Trigger, just ask one of our technicians when placing your order.

Range of use
The stroboscope is the ideal tool for maintenance technicians and technical service personnel for industrial installations and machinery. It can check revolutions in two directions or visualize problems that could not normally be seen by the human eye, and allow the user to capture the image of a moving object by optically freezing its motion using strobe flashes. The stroboscope comes guaranteed thanks to its years of use in industrial processes without, of course, forgetting the field of research and development: - In filling machines in the production of beer or mineral water. - In printing presses and paper manufacturing (printing: the stroboscope can determine velocity of more than 60m /min. It can observe the trajectory before winding.) With the stroboscope, the user can identify the smallest errors in proceses, such as pulsations. The following image shows it checking a paper molding machine. - In weaving machines in the textile industry - In the automotive industry - In high speed machines and motors The stroboscope is used primarily to measure rotation, as shown in the adjacent picture. Frequently this form of testing is used in the adjustment of large high velocity mechanism within machines, allowing them to be set according to an operations manual relavent to a particular process the manchine is involved in or to evaluate the revolutions coming from an electrical operation. Furthermore, it can test the concentric force of waves or moving components, making it the perfect tool for inspecting motors, waves, gears, cylinders and whichever object that has a rotating motion. - In ventilation systems and air conditioning units. - In the sheet steel industry - The stroboscope is the optimum support unit everywhere where rotating components can be found or in the production process of a large number of units. Notice on the risks of using stroboscope: all objects that are measured using a stroboscope are typically moving at a high velocity. Maintain the device at a safe distance from the moving component and never permit them to touch each other.
About the use of a stroboscope
The adjacent images show the proper use of stroboscope to obtain correct measurements and to generate the best image possible, when trying to determine the result produced if the rotation of a component is doubled, for example from 110/min to 220/min. The correct method has a general character although here we will look specifically at the use of the stroboscope to check a conveyor belt and of the wave action. In measuring the conveyor belt we first optically freeze its motion, this is easlly achieved by adjusting the flash rate until the belt stops rotating. In observing the conveyor belt, it appear to be undulating like a wave. In cases of repair and maintenance of the machine, we should mark a line of reference using chalk vertically with respect to the direction in which the belt functions and put this line on the entire belt. Example of measuring a wave: In a wave that is correctly centred with the wheel that propels it, the true number of rotations will be measured when it is optically frozen. If the driving wheel is not centred on its axle, or it is not balanced, a different number of rotations will be measured by the stroboscope. In practice, this leads to errors in evaluations.

Contents PCE-OM 200 model of stroboscope, carrying case and a replacement bulb, rechargeable battery, charger, mains adaptor and user's manual
Optional accessories Trigger cable (pulse input) For external connection of the Trigger to the stroboscope to allow external input to the device when measuring.
Trigger cable (contact input) For external connection of the Trigger to the stroboscope to allow external input to the device when measuring. This cable is for activation by contact.
Replacement rechargeable battery If the stroboscope will be used frequently or over long periods of time, it is recommended that a spare battery be ordered to ensure that if one battery runs low on power while on the job, it can be replaced with another that is charged and ready to go, saving both time and money.
Replacement Xenon bulb The life of a Xenon bulb is very long, but if the stroboscope is needed for off-site work, it might be a good idea to have a replacement bulb handy, just to ensure that if anything does happen, the job can still be completed without an unexpected delay.
Tripod For measurement of machines or components over a period of time, such as 8 hours, a tripod is recommended. A tripod can also be used in combination with the Trigger to regulate the flash's frequency to that of the velocity of the object being measured.
ISO calibration certificate For companies wishing to incorporate the stroboscope into their internal system of quality control tools or would like to perform annual recalibrations. The calibration meets ISO standards and includes a laboratory calibration and a certificate containing the measurement values of the calibration. Company or personal details are also included in the documentation.
