  • small sback ii

    Small SBACK II

    • Compact homogeneous backlight
    • >90% surface uniformity
    • Sizes from 0.0025m² to 0.04m²

    Thanks to its thin borders, the new SMALL SBACK II is a backlight both powerful and homogeneous, that perfectly fits confined spaces. Settled under the objects to be controlled, the SMALL SBACK II highlights the global shape of the objects (shadow puppet effect), which enables the verification of possible outline defects and material lacks.

    Equipped with new LED, it offers a lighting power 4 to 5 times higher than in the previous version for the white and red colours (WHI & 630).
    Its homogeneity has also been improved on the entire surface, including the backlight edges, so as to prevent the appearance of hot spots. The new SMALL SBACK II works in continuous and strobe mode, and is equipped with a M12 connector that suits the industrial standards.

    • VERY POWERFUL LEDS,
    • INCREASED HOMOGENEITY,
    • LIGHT & COMPACT SMALL BACKLIGHT.

     

  • collimated csback

    Collimated CSBACK

    • Compact semi-collimated backlight
    • >90% surface uniformity
    • Sizes from 0.0025m² to 0.04m²

    TPL Vision’s semi-collimated backlight, the CSBACK is the perfect illumination choice for the inspection or measurement of clear plastics and rounded parts. Collimated light by definition has parallel light rays, and therefore spreads minimally as it propagates, helping to create high-contrast images needed for precise edge detection and defect analysis.

    Key application areas include the inspection of objects with rounded edges and clear parts, which may be challenging to inspect with traditional backlights due to the lack of contrast. A collimated light allows users to eliminate this effect by providing a narrower illumination angle that stops the light from wrapping around rounded parts. This also means that images of clear parts no longer appear “washed out”. The edges are more clearly defined, and details are seen with improved contrast, leading to high-quality images and increased accuracy.

  • black & light (bn'l)

    Black & Light (Bn’L)

    • Uniform backlight when ON
    • Matte background when OFF
    • Sizes from 0.04m² to 0.81m²

    Many machine vision systems use multiple light sources. LED panels equipped with white diffusers can interfere with the camera and reduce the efficiency of other illumination sources by scattering light in unintended directions, creating unwanted reflections, and diminishing contrast, which can compromise the quality of the inspection.

    The Black & Light (Bn’L) by TPL Vision offers an innovative solution compatible with most vision applications. When the light is on, it works as a traditional homogeneous backlight, highlighting the shape of objects and creating a uniform silhouette. When it’s off, it becomes a matte black background. This is extremely useful when other illuminations are used, as the black background absorbs scattered light and ensures that panels equipped with white diffusers do not interfere with how light is perceived by the camera.

    • MATT DIFFUSER = BLACK BACKGROUND,
    • ULTRA THIN BORDERS,
    • RISING TIME : 25 μs.
  • led brick

    LED BRICK

    • OEM backlight solution

    Equipped with 4 high powerful LEDs, the LED BRICK modules by TPL Vision can be easily  interconnected. You just have to plug few modules of LED BRICK all together to get very large lighting areas, easily upgradable according to the vision application’s features. If you just add an opaque diffuser on the top of the configuration, you get a perfectly homogeneous backlight, very appreciated by machine vision specialists. The LED BRICK lighting solutions can rely on the LED advanced technology at very affordable prices.

    Set up either upwards or downwards, it enables the powerful lighting of confined spaces. Thanks to its directive intense or diffuse lighting, the Spot SBAR reveals its whole potential for the control of a circular surface. Finally, the inside electronics make it very easy to use : you just have to plug the Spot SBAR on a 24V power supply.

    • POWERFUL LIGHTING
    • CONTINUOUS OR STROBE MODE
    • EASY TO USE

    The Spot SBAR – available in UV365, UV385 and UV405 – is also very useful to highlight any kind of product that reacts with ultraviolet light (glue, paint…). Thanks to this spot, you can easily control assembly defects, highlight materials lacks, and also read UV markings.
