Easy, cost effective inspection in a flash

The SKF TMRS 1 is a portable, easy-to-use stroboscope that allows the motion of rotating or reciprocating machinery to appear frozen, facilitating inspection without stopping the machine. Equipped with a phase shift feature that allows the user to advance or retard the flash timing without changing the flash rate, the motion can be “frozen” at the position required for inspection.

• The bright flash allows better illumination of the application at a distance, giving a wider viewing area.
• Flash rates of up to 12,500 flashes per minute (FPM) cover a wide range of applications
• Flash rate is quick and easy to adjust using the variable dial rate. Allowing the required speed to be reached within a matter of seconds
• Phase shift mode for optimum inspection of gears, rolls, fans, pulleys. The feature of interest can be rotated to the correct position for inspection
• x2, ÷2 buttons for quick adjustment of FPM
• Easy to read LCD display 
• Compact design, one-hand operated instrument
• Battery powered with long running time per charge (up to 2.5 hrs)
• Includes universal AC adaptor that can be used worldwide
• Extra flashtube supplied to minimise downtime of unit
• Supplied in carrying case for protection and portability
• Mounting thread on the underside allows mounting on a tripod for stability and ease of use
