LED in machine vision systems

Machine vision helps solve complex industrial tasks reliably and consistently. It encompasses industrial applications in which a combination of hardware and software provides operational guidance to devices in performing their functions based on image capture and processing. Industrial vision systems require robustness, reliability and stability.

Machine vision is often used for functions of:

  • Detection
  • Robot guidance
  • Automatic inspections
  • Identification and recognition
  • Calibration

Machine vision systems create images by analyzing the reflected light from an object, not by analyzing the object itself. Therefore, it is critical to understand how light will reflect off a manufacturing part. To understand this, one must understand the material from which the object is made, its size, shape and finish. The color of the object is also important. Our machine vision solutions:

PCB design
Each application within machine vision needs a specific solution. Our engineers can develop PCBs for any machine vision system. All our PCBs meet the necessary certifications such as ROHS, ISO standards and UL certification.

Wavelengths
Each machine vision application also requires a specific wavelength. We can supply any wavelength for example, full color spectrum, single wavelength such as UV or infrared. Wavelengths such as infrared are used to mark bruises on products, and ultraviolet light will cause ink or glue to fluoresce. For monochromatic and color camera systems, a filter must be used to bring out the correct wavelengths.

High pwm capacity
For LED installations where fast PWM capabilities are required, it is important to deal effectively with the long shutdown time and short high currents without compromising quality and still process at high speed. This can be done by connecting the MaNima Pollux Industry to the machine.

Strobing light
Strobe is used for scanning moving objects. To make sharp images, the light must be synchronized with the camera, this synchronization can be achieved by connecting the MaNima Pollux Industry to the machine. The MaNima Pollux Industry meets the requirements for integration into a machine system.
