Please note that this is an obsolete product.

This product is obsolete and has been replaced by the Shimpo DT-3015N Stroboscope.

The Shimpo DT-315A heavy duty, battery powered stroboscope possesses the same great features of the DT-311A with the added convenience of total portability via its own internal power supply. The quick recharge battery lasts up to four hours of full continuous usage with a high intensity flash rate.

The Shimpo DT-315A provides power flexibility by utilizing either its rechargeable internal, batteries or AC line-power when plugged into the included AC adapter/charger unit. These features make it ideal for quality inspection and preventative maintenance of automated motion equipment.
