Fast, Accurate Non-Contact RPM Measurement
The RheinTacho Redpoint Digital Hand Tachometer is a compact, handheld instrument designed for the quick and accurate measurement of rotational speed without physical contact. Using advanced optical measurement technology, the Redpoint provides reliable RPM readings for a wide range of rotating machinery, making it an essential tool for maintenance engineers, service technicians, machine builders, and quality control professionals.
Its robust design, ease of operation, and complete accessory package make the Redpoint ideal for commissioning, preventative maintenance, process monitoring, and laboratory testing applications.
Optical (Non-Contact) Measurement
The Redpoint measures rotational speed by directing a beam of light at a reflective strip attached to the rotating object. Each time the reflective marker passes the beam, the reflected signal is detected and converted into an RPM reading.
Results are displayed instantly on the unit’s clear 5-digit LCD display, allowing for fast and accurate speed verification without interrupting machine operation.
