High Speed Applications

The Modular Bar comes with OverDrive integrated, which means the light is 4 times more intense when strobed for the first 30ms of the trigger signal.

Line Scan Applications

The Modular Bar, along with the Angle Changers, is an excellent tool for linescan applications that are not at the extreme of high-end line scan applications.

What is dark field lighting, and how to use it?

Using this method, it is possible to highlight features on shiny components.

How to illuminate mirrored and shiny surfaces in machine vision

To illuminate shiny parts from a distance, position both the camera and the light at an angle to the part that needs to be illuminated.

Tablet Shape and Imprint Inspection using the Bn’L

This dual-feature inspection streamlines quality control using the Black&Light (Bn’L). The system is able to simultaneously assessing shape, size, and imprint codes of the tablets.

Checking Best Before Dates Using A Dome Light

Food manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that the best before or use-by date labels are correctly applied to all products. In this system, a dome light provides homogeneous illumination for label detection.

IP69K bar light used in pick-and-place application in the food industry

In this pick-and-place application, high-speed conveyor belts carry freshly baked cookies to be expertly packaged. The vision system uses high brightness IP69K-rated bar lights to accurately determine the cookies’ location and orientation.

Diffuse bar light used in quality control of car dashboards using robotic guidance

During a crucial step in the automobile assembly process, a camera-based vision system is employed to verify the presence and positioning of components. Enhancing the camera’s capabilities, powerful diffuse bar lights are integrated onto a collaborative robot (cobot).

Dome Light With Hole Aperture Adaptors Used to Illuminate Internal Seals

A dome light with hole aperture adaptors is supporting a smart camera to inspect plastic caps for beverage bottles, ensuring they are free from injection molding defects. The white and infrared illumination allows for detailed imaging of seals inside the closures, even on shiny plastics. Learn how this project addresses the challenges posed by the dark spot of the camera with a simple and cost-effective solution.

Unique bar light setup supports the strict examination of sterilised surgical tools

Inspecting sterilised surgical tools, this machine vision system features 25 cameras and a unique set of high-brightness bar lights to achieve a very high specification required for inspection the medical industry.

Infrared backlight highlights contours in pick-and-place application

In key manufacturing, pre-made key blanks undergo separation and are then picked up by a robot for accurate positioning in the subsequent step. The vision system uses a homogeneous IR backlight to highlight the shape of the keys.

M-EBAR light with Angle Changers supports the absence check of labels in line scan system

Line scan vision systems are widely used in logistics to process parcels efficiently and accurately. To ensure accurate reading of labels, the M-EBAR with a line light Angle Changer provides exceptional brightness and homogeneity across the width of the track.
