TECH FOCUS: ILLUMINATION
to ensure lower maintenance and a longer operating lifetime thanks to efficient thermal management. Te company recently increased its range of lighting solutions by 200 new products, including seven new lighting types – such as flat dome lights, back lights and spot lights – and 144 lights and additional matching accessories. Te expanded portfolio is designed to offer a greater variety of components to individualise customers’ vision solutions. CCS most recently expanded
its PF (Power Flash) series of LED lighting with 28 additional models in various form factors and colours. Te PF Series is a line of extremely bright LED lighting and power supplies designed exclusively for strobe illumination. It is ideal for high-speed image processing inspections because of its high-power strobing in steps of 0.1 μs. Its illuminance is approximately 12 times brighter than competitive alternatives, with a peak illuminance of 15.5 million lux. Chromasens’ most recent
launch is an LED illumination solution that combines tube light, bright field and dark field techniques into one compact module housing. Tis is designed to reduce system costs, complexity and processing times, all without compromising inspection performance. It can inspect products ranging from semiconductors and printed materials, to frozen foods and auto parts. Despite its compact dimensions, the module delivers tube light brightness levels of up to 1.2 MLux with white LEDs, 12,000 cd/m² for bright field, and 800 kLux for dark field by leveraging Chromasen’s patented reflector focusing technology. Fan, passive or water cooling options are available to maximise LED service life. Moritex specialises in
advanced illumination systems for machine vision and microscopy applications. Its product portfolio includes coaxial lights, dome lights, bar lights, ring lights, and telecentric illuminators. Te company says it focuses on delivering high-intensity, uniform, and adjustable lighting solutions

for precision imaging and analysis. Te MTD-LED HSL SWIR
from MTD Line Lights is a high- power hyperspectral SWIR LED line light in the range of 1,000 to 1,700nm. Te illumination combines up to 12 different SWIR wavelengths into a homogenous broadband spectrum. Each wavelength is separately programmable, so the spectra can be adapted to customer requirements. An integrated temperature control enables a stable spectral output. Te SWIR intensity at a working distance of 300mm is comparable to high- power halogen light without any significant heat radiation. Metaphase Technologies’
most recent launch is the TX Barlight, which is available in up to three wavelengths for optimal multispectral versatility. It can be used for front light, mutispectral applications and across six wavelengths (R, G, B, W, RGB, UV365, UV395, IR850, IR940, SWIR). It is controlled by a standard driver that allows light to be used continuously and with follow-me strobe (8x power). ProPhotonix offers a
SWIR line light within its Cobra HyperSpec. Te Cobra HyperSpec SWIR line light is a tunable SWIR (short wavelength infrared) line light that allows for high-resolution, reliable imaging. It is fully customisable and can be configured to a range of applications, including textile recycling and quality control in the food industry. It allows users to optimise the spectrum to maximise contrast, compensate for camera sensitivity and deliver clearer, higher resolution images for increased accuracy and speed. Precise control of the light via a user-friendly GUI allows system designers to easily fine-tune the performance of their system. Smart Vision Lights recently
introduced the Lightgistics series, which aims to improve logistics and track-and-trace through machine vision lighting that offers greater than 10x brighter light pulses than its standard continuous mode. Tis is designed for logistics applications that require highly
Smart Vision Lights: Featured product
The patented DoAll is an all-in-one solution unprecedented in its flexibility for machine vision lighting applications and automatic inspection. The DoAll combines six products into a single multifunctional unit. The lights in the DoAll can be used individually to replace six products, but DoAll Imaging offers more: Sequence the lights in conjunction with each other to create a variety of multimodal illumination effects. For example, you can use the dome light followed by a dark field light to increase contrast of surface features, or you can use visible light followed with NIR for multispectral applications. The DoAll, with its RGBW and NIR ring lights, has native multispectral capabilities, but it can do even more with two expansion ports for connecting auxiliary lights. Add UV lighting, spots, linear, on-axis, or structured lighting, for almost limitless possibilities. The DoAll Controller allows for easy set up through a user-friendly interface.

reflective plastic wraps and shipping bags, which can present challenges for barcode reading and optical character recognition (OCR). Polarisers can overcome glare, but they reduce light output and therefore decrease clarity. Te new Lightgistics series featuring Dual OverDrive – which combines SVL’s Deca OverDrive and standard OverDrive engines – are specifically designed to overcome this common challenge, allowing end users to attach polarisers while retaining exceptional light output that can handle any speed. Available in ring and linear formats, the new lights offer direct connection and control through a camera’s trigger output. TPL Vision offers high-power
LED illumination, which is designed to enable vision systems to operate at maximum accuracy by providing the best balance
of brightness and homogeneity. Te solutions feature in-built product modularity and flexibility for easier product selection and enhanced user experiences. Tey have been used in installations across the globe including within sectors such as logistics, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and automotive industries. Te company’s latest launch is the Te M-TBAR, a compact, IP67-rated LED bar light that allows users to change the beam angle with TPL Vision’s Angle Changers. Application areas include code reading, quality control, component verification, label- and packaging inspection, robotics and more. Tis is not an exhaustive list. If
you provide illumination products and would like your company to be included, please email editor.
