    Essential ELINE Focused

    • Modular focused line scan light
    • Sizes up to 2500mm
    • Passive Cooling

    The Essential ELINE is a line scan light for machine vision applications, ideal for long working distance applications of fabric- and web inspection, geometric measurement, quality control applications. Available in a variety of sizes up to 2.5m to cover a range of line scan applications. Designed for short working distances, the focused light provides a specific focal point with unparalleled precision. It provides the highest level of brightness out of all versions, with peak intensity achieved at a 50mm working distance, ensuring optimal performance in critical applications. This makes it particularly well-suited for high speed applications like web inspection or optical sorting systems. The focused light creates a narrower beam than the collimated light type at short working distances by using an additional lens to converge the light.

The Essential EBAR+ is very easy to use: you don’t have to adjust anything, only to plug it. There are 2 functioning modes: continuous and strobe, with very short rising and falling times (15 μs and 10 μs). Its black aluminum structure, very robust, is IP65. It also helps to dissipate the heat generated by the LED. Moreover, 2 LED indicators near the connector show if the product is powered. Available in different colours (included IR and UV), the Essential EBAR+ exist in multiple lengths, from 125 mm to 1250 mm (Standard/Link) and up to 2500 mm (OverDrive).

  • Medium MBACK+ OverDrive

    • OverDrive strobe backlight
    • Dimming via potentiometer
    • Sizes from 0.04m² to 0.81m²
    The Medium MBACK+ Overdrive is a backlight both powerful and very diffuse, dedicated to many machine vision applications. Thanks to the high power LED inside, it creates intense luminous flux, that helps cameras to see the workpieces shapes thanks to the shadow puppet effects. You can even decrease the light power when necessary. It works in continuous and strobe mode, with very short rising and falling times: 25 μs and 15 μs. Equipped with very thin edges, the Medium MBACK+ uniformly illuminates from the whole useful surface, included from the edges. No hot spot to notice !
    • HOMOGENEOUS & POWERFUL,
    • ULTRA-THIN BORDERS,
    • RISING TIME: 25 μs.

    The connector can be placed on any side of the MBACK+, which can then be set up on any kind of conveyor belts. At the basis of the connector, 2 LED indicators show if the product is powered and if the strobe mode is on. The MBACK+ is perfectly adapted to quality control tasks, such as: presence/absence, edge defects, material lack. It can also be used as a direct diffuse lighting solution, to inspect shiny workpieces.

  • Collimated Medium CMBACK+

    • Large area semi-collimated backlight
    • OverDrive option available
    • Sizes from 0.04m² to 0.16m²

    The semi-collimated CMBACK+ is a powerful and very diffuse backlight, dedicated to many machine vision applications. With high powerful LED and specific lenses, it creates a very intense illumination, that helps cameras to clearly see workpieces shapes.

    The CMBACK+ is also manufactured with filters, which eliminate the non-perpendicular light (>30° compared to the vertical axis of the lighting surface). This collimation helps to get highly contrasted images. This is why this product is recommended for the edge detection of round or thick workpieces, and also for the detection of markings or material defects on transparent workpieces (made of glass or plastic).
    The CMBACK + is equipped with a strobe entry and a potentiometer, which enables to vary the lighting power. The OVERDRIVE version can also offer a far higher lighting power. Either in continuous or in strobe mode, it has short rising and falling times: 25 μs and 15 μs. Thanks to its thin edges, the semi-collimated CMBACK+ uniformly illuminates the whole surface analysed. Moreover, the connector can be placed on any side of the light, making it easy to set it up on any kind of conveyor belts. In the base of the connector, 2 LED show if the product is powered and if the strobe mode is on. The CMBACK+ is available in various wavelengths and also in various dimensions.
