Tachometers & Stroboscope

Tachometers/Stroboscopes

Stroboscopes are versatile instruments for the visualisiation of very fast movements. They are important and necessary tools for the  inspection and control of machines and manufacturing lines eg in  printing or textile industries.

Stroboscopes could also be used for the non-contact measuring of  rotational speed. If the stroboscope flash frequency matches the  frequency of movement, the test object appears stationary. It can be  observed and its frequency of movement recorded.

A tachometer (revolution-counter, tach, rev-counter, RPM gauge) is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor or other machine.
