Fastec needed a compact, tabletop demonstration system with few bulky components, that would still consistently produce good results. For simplicity, a manual eyedropper was used to generate water droplets. A dedicated illumination system was required to deal with various fast-frame challenges, to prevent motion blur and ensure that enough light entered the camera to deliver high-quality images.

The system’s light output was controlled using a Gardasoft FP220 two-channel lighting controller, which features unique output drive technology that can create super fast, accurate light pulses and is designed for high-speed, high-power pulsing with low power dissipation. It can operate at trigger rates up to 10 kHz, with a maximum overdrive pulse output of 20A.

The demonstration system is simple to use and as well as providing hugely impressive images, it provides Fastec Imaging with a long list of other benefits.
