MVS-7000 Series High
Intensity Xenon Strobes
The MVS-7000 Series represents a
breakthrough in light output performance and versatility
in Machine Vision Strobes. These high intensity strobes
incorporate latest innovation in flashlamp
technology and reflector design. The MVS-7000 series
delivers over 40% more light output per watt than our MVS-2027
series - taking its place as the new industry standard...The
Xenon Flashlamp produces intense pulses of radiant energy
covering the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS) and near
infrared (NIR). When coupled to a CCD/CID camera system,
the strobe "freezes motion" which eliminates
blur and enhances image quality. Several variations of
the MVS-7000 series are available, each optimized for
maximum light output at a specific flash rate. External
signal inputs allow you to further customize the strobe
to your application. The MVS-7000 series is certified to
the latest European CE directives for Safety and Emission.
The universal AC power supply recognizes AC voltages from
90V to 230V (± 10%) with line frequencies from 50 - 60
Hz. The xenon flashlamp is housed in a field replaceable
module.

Notes:
1) All values are nominal; specifications subject to change
without notice.
2) Limited lamp life due to high peak currents; select the MVS-7020
for MVS-7060 for most applications.
3) Maximum flash rate at 600 Vdc; the numbers in parenthesis
represent the max. flash rate at adjusted lamp voltage (400 - 750
Vdc).
4) Energy at 600 Vdc; energy per flash is voltage dependent (E =
½ CV2) and discharge capacitance is 24 µf, 12 µf
and 4 µf respectively.
5) Approximate values measured at 1/3 peak of light pulse.
6) Approximate light output at factory setting into 0.9" (23
mm) diameter fiber optic light guide.
7) Approximate light output at factory setting into 0.5" (13
mm) fiber optic light guide.
8) Approximate light output at factory setting into 0.27" (7
mm) fiber optic light guide.
9) Factory set at 600 Vdc; increasing lamp voltage will reduce
lamp life.
10) Delay between flash command and light output is 8 µsec
typical.
11) Optional fiber optic nosepieces: Fostec 0.72" ID (MVS-23),
Volpi 0.59" ID (MVS-24), or Dolan Jenner 1.0" ID (MVS-25).

MVS-2027, 2067 and 2200
Machine Vision Strobes
The MVS-2027, 2067 and 2200
Machine Vision Strobe systems produce short duration, high
intensity light pulses for industrial vision applications. When
coupled to a CCD/CID camera system the MVS-2027, 2067 or 2200
"freezes motion", eliminates blur from the camera image
and enhances image quality.
The three models are identical in every respect except the MVS-2067
and MVS-2200 provide higher flash repetition rates at lower
flashlamp input energies than the MVS-2027. Each unit is
contained in a robust industrial enclosure with two connectors,
one for the input power line and the other for signal level
inputs.
The Xenon light output is focused onto a port configured for
mounting one end of a Fiber Optic Bundle so that the light can be
projected to an area remote from the instrument. Various fiber
optic bundles, nose pieces and adapters are available to
interface the fiber cable to the strobe enclosure.
