SHIMPO ST-1000 - Manual

z
The Shimpo Series ST-1000 is a Stroboscope-Tachometer with
LED flash technology. This velocity analyzing and measuring de-
vice is ideal for rotational machine inspection. The stroboscope
is capable of flashing the light in a synchronous frequency to the
operating machinery, creating the illusion of viewing stopped or
slowed images. Utilizing this phenomenon of slowing or stopping
the motion with the adjusted rate of the ST-1000’s flashing light,
machine parts and processes may be inspected for defects. Plus,
the rotational speed of the machinery and systems may be re-
corded for further performance analysis.
The ST-1000 is adjustable in either coarse or fine step flash-rate
tuning. The backlit display shows the current flash rate, 10 user-
stored pre-set flash rates, as well as a low battery warning. The
backlit feature can be switched off to save battery life if desired.
The ergonomic, hand held device is made of sturdy ABS plastic
and comes with batteries and protective carrying case. The LED
technology extends operation due to the low energy requirement
of the light diodes compared with xenon stroboscopes. Typical
applications for using the ST-1000 is to inspect rotors, meshing
gears, vibration diagnostic equipment, textile equipment, printing
production lines, power tools, speaker acoustical analysis, fan
balancing and many more.
