Modular M-TBAR

Miniature modular bar light with built-in flexibility. The M-TBAR is a compact, IP67-rated tiny LED bar light that allows users to change the beam angle with TPL Vision’s Angle Changers. Offering unparalleled flexibility, the M-TBAR provides a convenient way to expertly illuminate small-scale vision applications requiring a robust lighting solution. Application areas include code reading, quality control, component verification, label- and packaging inspection, robotics and more.

  • Small bar light suited to machine vision applications in confined spaces
  • Compact but powerful, designed for easy integration
  • Auto-strobe OverDrive illumination with robust packaging & integrated current control

Compatible with Angle Changers

modular m tbar

Angle Changers are robust micro-optic diffusers that can be used to widen the beam angle of the M-TBAR’s standard ±5° lens angle, providing flexibility across the field of view. Angle Changer options include:

  • Narrow ±10° (Standard & Polarised)
  • Medium ±17°(Standard & Polarised)
  • Wide ±25°(Standard & Polarised)
  • Line ±9-16°(Standard & Polarised)
  • Polariser alone

Applications

The Modular M-TBAR comes with strobe and continuous working in one product. The built-in strobe OverDrive feature makes it perfect for the automotive industry, logistics, electronics manufacturing, and other robotics, quality control and machine vision inspection applications including:

  • code reading
  • label inspection
  • part identification and validation
  • placement inspection
  • traceability
  • …and more!
