LED Machine Vision Lighting Solutions

To deliver some of the highest intensity LED products on the market today, we utilize Chip-on-Board (COB) LED technology. Our expertise in this high density LED packaging technology allows us to give you extremely compact, powerful and uniform solutions that are available in any wavelength. In addition to utilizing COB to maximize the brightness of your machine vision lighting, we also consider ease of installation as fundamental to our product development. This has led to innovative custom-engineered products all designed for seamless integration into your machine vision system. Other key considerations in our design process include:

  • Control
  • Communications
  • Thermal management (to help you get the best lifetime from your LED product)

Optimizing Machine Vision Lighting for Your Application

Lighting is fundamental to a successful machine vision application. Proper LED selection will ensure best contrast and efficiency, while optics, mechanics, and electronics support a system that meets the needs of a given application. In addition, firmware and GUI options further support an optimal lighting setup. This whitepaper will discuss each of these considerations and provide application examples.

Structured Light Lasers

To deliver high speed inspection or 3D measurements, we offer Structured Laser Light (SLL)- a technique for projecting a known pattern of pixels (singular line, horizontal lines, crosshair, grid) onto an object, known for its speed of data capture. If your machine vision application requires a structured light laser, we provide a range of high-uniformity machine vision lasers including the 3D PRO Laser series, designed for seamless integration into existing machine vision systems. In addition, the PROdigii digital laser has been designed to deliver outstanding wavelength stability and thermal management in even the most challenging operating environments. For machine vision laser lights, our design considerations include:

  • Uniformity
  • Depth of focus
  • Fan angle
  • Line quality
