You can use the testo 476 in a variety of industrial, laborato-
ry, R&D and academic environments.
Most commonly, the
testo 476 is used to make objects
which are moving at high speeds appear to be moving in
slow motion. When this occurs, you can then safely and
easily analyse their motion, check for proper registration,
determine sources of unwanted vibration, etc.
Also, you can use the
testo 476 to apparently “freeze” an
object’s movement. Without making contact, you can
accurately measure the object’s rotational speed or recipro-
cation rate.
Unlike other portable stroboscopes, the
testo 476 takes
only one hand to operate and - because it is the world’s
smallest industrial stroboscope - it is very convenient and
portable.
Typical applications include use with:
- High speed assembly lines, conveyor systems,
bottling operations, etc.
- Printing presses and cloth looms
- Motors, fans, pumps and turbines
- Calibration and inspection equipment
- Monitoring laboratory & research applications
