It all starts with an image

R.J. Wilson, Inc. is a technologist specializing in image formation components for machine vision and vision-guided robotics.

We offer LED lighting and controllers, laser pattern projectors, standard, telecentric, and high-magnification lenses, lens filters, camera enclosures, selected cameras, and accessories.

Machine vision projects, even those using AI and Deep Learning, are more reliable when quality images are used for training and when in use. Anecdotally, proper lighting is 80% of a successful vision project. Lighting and optics for machine vision are our specialties. We’re ready to discuss your application, explore the available hardware options, help minimize development time, facilitate testing to increase confidence, and provide the selected components. R.J. Wilson, Inc. offers products from the top manufacturers in the imaging industry.

In addition to imaging products, R.J. Wilson, Inc. offers photoelectric, vibration sensing, and proximity sensor products, as well as safety mats and industrial guarding to help define machine safety perimeters. We offer selected machine control products, including programmable encoders, resolvers, and limit switches.

We Don’t Compete with Our Customers

To our system integrator partners and vision system OEMs: We don’t compete with you.

We don’t sell image analysis software, vision systems, or integrated on-line inspection solutions. We are here to make you successful by supporting your efforts to optimize your imaging systems. We’ll work with you to create the best possible imaging configuration for your project, including helping you evaluate key image formation components before finalizing the BOM.

We work with OEMs, systems integrators, machine builders, and end-users. If you see a technology or component that will help you address an online inspection issue, we’d like to discuss your project requirements in more detail.

ANGLE CHANGERS GIVE BAR LIGHTS UNPRECEDENTED FLEXIBILITY DURING & AFTER INSTALLATION

TPL Vision’s EBAR+ and M-EBAR modular bar lights provide the flexibility to optimize lighting coverage and homogeneity across the field-of-view by using Angle Changers. 

Angle Changers are 125mm long and securely clip into the lights to change the angle of illumination for each section of the bar light, going from the built-in 7 degree LEDs to Narrow, Medium, Wide, or Line illumination.

By using the Angle Changers on the EBAR+ from 125mm to 1250mm in length, or on the Modular M-EBAR from 125mm to 500mm long, the lighting coverage can be improved.

SWIR IMAGING 101: WHAT CAN IT DO FOR YOU?

R.J. Wilson, Inc. is offering cameras from SWIR Vision Systems to expand the range of applications that can be addressed using Short Wave Infrared imaging (SWIR). These cameras feature patented CQDTM Sensors based on colloidal quantum dot (CQD) technology, with thin film photodiodes fabricated monolithically on CMOS-based silicon readout arrays. CQD technology reduces the cost per MP of SWIR cameras, compared to those with indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) sensors.

“BLACK & LIGHT” BACKLIGHT PROVIDES A MATTE BLACK BACKGROUND WHEN OFF

TPL Vision offers a unique LED backlighting solution, called the “Black & Light”, that provides standard backlighting when on and a contrasting matte black appearance when turned off. This can be useful when a single camera station must sequentially provide both back lighting and front lighting. The matte black background helps to absorb, rather than reflect, front lighting and mitigates the potential to create additional glare and hotspots in the acquired front-lit image.

EXTREME-POWER LED STROBE LIGHTING

PF lights are specifically designed for extreme-brightness strobe lighting and will achieve higher intensity than any conventional products when used with the dedicated PF Control Units. They provide brightness and strobe pulse-width control comparable to a Xenon flash lamp.
