Fixed-Mount Stroboscope System

A Fixed Mount Stroboscope system is distinguished from portable stroboscopes by its stationary design. They provide a stable and consistent platform for inspection tasks, despite operating on the same principle as portable stroboscopes. Unlike portable stroboscopes, which are typically handheld and require manual adjustments for positioning and stability, fixed stroboscopes are securely mounted in place, eliminating the need for constant readjustment during operation. This stationary configuration not only enhances ease of use but also ensures uninterrupted performance, making fixed stroboscopes ideal for integration into production lines and inspection setups in various industries such as printing, textile, and steel, etc.

SUGAWARA Fixed-Mount Stroboscope

Sugawara’s LS-500 Fixed-Mount stroboscope allows you to view your process in clear detail. These stroboscopes use strobing light to make the web appear static or slow-moving. This allows the operator to see clearly if there are any defects and make corrections as required. Sugawara’s LS-500 Fixed-Mount stroboscopes are designed such that multiple stroboscopes can be stacked length-wise or width-wise to increase the viewing area. Up to 12 strobes can be controlled using a single external control unit.

Key Features

• Internal and external flashing trigger available.
• Multiple strobes can easily be combined.
• Easily adjustable flash frequency.
• Ultra-Bright White LEDs for uniform illumination.
• LS-500 uniformly illuminates a range of 80 x 40 cm brightly from a distance of 1 m.

Printing Industry

In printing processes such as offset, flexography, and rotogravure, where high-speed presses are used, it can be challenging to do the quality inspection manually, and defects like misregistration can go unnoticed, leading to a lot of waste. Stroboscopes are widely used in printing presses to ensure print quality and detect printing defects by flashing light onto the moving substrate, allowing operators to identify and correct issues during production.

Textile Industry

In the textile industry, Stroboscopes are utilized to observe and analyze the movement of textile machinery, such as the speed of the spindle, to ensure smooth operation and to detect any issues that may affect production quality.

Steel Industry

In the steel industry, rolling mills that make cold-rolled sheets, coils, etc., face defects like scratches, dents, etc. during the production process. A stroboscope is the most suitable device to detect these defects easily during the production process. It works on the principle that a lamp emits brief and rapid flashes of light. When the frequency of the flashes matches the line speed, the sheet/coil appears to be moving slowly or stationary, and the defects, like dents and scratches, can be easily identified.
