Machine vision processing has some of the most demanding (and unique) standards for illumination.
Depending on the type of task being conducted, such devices, including sorting/packaging machines, product-label scanning units and machines used for quality control, typically incorporate LED strobes (pulsed lighting), UV LED lamps, LED tube-style lights and infrared LED light bars.
For robust control, an LED light controller can also be utilized for synchronization, over-driving, constant illumination and remote operation.
As a one-stop shop for industrial lighting systems, Larson Electronics offers a selection of LED lights for machine vision applications. The solid-state products in this series are extremely durable, compatible with low voltage for electrical safety and reliable.
Below covers how these LED lights are used to enhance machine vision:
- LED Infrared Light Bar: Used to support image recognition and quality control. Specific infrared wavelengths are applied to boost interactions with materials. LED infrared light bars are also applicable to sensors.
- LED Tube Light: Mostly utilized in machine vision processing for general illumination. Versatile mounting options are preferred, due to installations close to the target and moving parts. Spot and/or flood beam options allow operators to use the lamp in multiple lighting configurations.
- UV LED Light: Quality assurance and label-scanning processes. UV LED lamps are also used during non-destructive (NDT) testing.
