Lighting

Crucial to all successful machine vision applications is the quality and correct application of lighting. Cameras see light as it is reflected from an object and the purpose of machine vision illumination is to control how the object appears to the camera. To be successful in providing a robust reliable solution that operates in a production environment it is essential to utilise the correct lighting technique. Too often in the past machine vision has failed to meet customers' expectations and demands because the illumination of the subject was inconsistent, badly specified and prone to contamination by external ambient conditions.

V-viz have great experience and understanding in the field of machine vision lighting and are distributors of the world's most innovative manufacturer of machine vision lighting company Siemens NER (www.nerlite.com). With many patented LED lighting techniques Siemens NER offer the highest quality machine vision lights with years of experience in delivering robust reliable LED light sources.

Which machine vision light is the appropriate one for your application? In order to answer this you need to consider:

1. What geometry of light is required to illuminate the features of interest?
2. What type of light source (e.g. halogen or LED) best illuminates the features?
3. How large is the field of view?

Let V-viz advise you if you should be using 'bright' field, 'dark' field, diffused on-axis lighting or wavelength specific lighting for your application by completing our evaluation request form. On receipt one of our Engineers will contact you to advise.
