MVS-4100, 4200
Machine Vision Strobe
Description
The PerkinElmer Optoelectronics
MVS 4100 and MVS 4200 are cost-
effective strobes for a wide variety of
industrial inspection applications. The
linear xenon flashlamp, mounted in a
reflector for maximum intensity, pro-
vides 6 microsecond pulses at flash
rates up to 100 Hz. The energy-per-
flash remains constant at 180 mJ; no
range-switching is needed.
These 20 Watt strobes are housed in a
convection-cooled, rugged enclosure.
Threaded hoses at the bottom of the
enclosure allow the unit to be hard
mounted.
The MVS 4100 has an optically iso-
lated trigger input and requires an
external +5V TTL pulse to flash. The
MVS 4200 has an internal oscillator
and can be run in either external or
internal trigger mode. The MVS 4200
is ideal as a stand-alone unit for
"stroboscopic" applications.
