Please note that this is an obsolete product.

This product is obsolete and has been replaced by the DT-3011N.

The Shimpo DT-311A stroboscope provides the illusion of “stopped motion” by adjusting the strobe’s flash rate so the equipment appear to be standing still or in slow motion. The DT-311A also measures rotational (RPM) or reciprocal (strokes per minute) speeds with the same precision as an electronic digital tachometer.

Ideally suited for printing inspection, motion analysis, preventive maintenance and speed measurement of repetitive motion, the Shimpo DT-311A strobes provide timely data on vibrating parts, leaks, spray patterns and a variety of industrial and scientific operations. This stroboscope is extremely easy to maneuver and operate via the lightweight and compact design and simplified user interface, and the rugged metal construction provides unequaled reliability in the harshest environments.
