AI’s new BL2 Series backlights break new ground in brightness and scalability. The BL2 Series provides a highly uniform and high intensity, diffuse backlight source. It offers twice the brightness of the original BL Series without a price increase. · Wavelengths include 470nm, 530nm, 625nm,

For improved control of the lighting in a confined space, the new Tiny M-TBAR from TPL Vision provides flexibility not available from other small bar lights: · TPL Angle Changer compatible – Angle changers both diffuse and control the angle of the light beam, mitigating

Collimated backlighting will enhance the performance of vision-based metrology systems when inspecting round parts because the light won’t “wrap around” rounded or curved edges, presenting a higher-quality silhouette image of the feature to the edge detection function of the vision software. The silhouette quality is

It’s challenging to specify the optimum bar light configuration in advance of having an actual machine and samples to test with. Typically, bar lights need to be ordered with narrow, medium, or wide lenses on the LEDs and offer a fixed diffusion level faceplate. With

A proprietary, single-LED illumination source that provides a relatively flat spectrum of light between 400nm and 900nm has been developed by CCS. These Hyperspectral LEDs provide exceptionally high spatial and spectral uniformity because it is a single-point-source LED, meaning all wavelengths come from the same

Time-of-Flight 3D cameras create an image based on the amount of time it takes light to travel from the built-in laser diodes, reflect off the surfaces in the scene, and image onto the Sony DepthSenseTM 3D sensor. Distance information is captured for every pixel, resulting

Why is this important? It’s challenging to configure a front lighting solution that provides even and uniform illumination across a large field-of-view, say from 12” X 8” / 300mmX 225mm) up to 72” X 54” / 1,828mm X 1,371mm. We’re assuming multiple bar lights will

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

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

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. When are these lights needed? In

When a small field-of-view is required, it’s common to use a standard C-mount lens and an extension tube to create a smaller field-of-view and reduce the working distance. At some point, though, the application may call for a true high-magnification lens system, such as Navitar’s

When you get down to it, the machine vision software takes in an image, whatever it may be, and applies a process to it to provide an inspection result. In 99% of cases, it’s a monochrome image, so it really doesn’t inherently matter the technique
