Advanced Illumination - HCS-150-ZEB Light Hub for Zebra Iris GTX Smart Cameras

The new Light Hub for Zebra Iris GTX Smart Cameras (HCS-150-ZEB) streamlines machine vision system setup. This innovative controller acts as a central hub, directly powering your Zebra Iris GTX Smart Camera while managing triggering and analog dimming control between the camera, compatible lights, and I/O accessories. Equipped with Advanced Illumination’s SignaTech™ technology, the Light Hub delivers 4 amps of continuous output and up to 8 amps of overdrive strobe. This empowers you to choose from a vast array of Advanced Illumination lighting configurations, ensuring optimal illumination for your application. Whether you need seamless integration with an 3×3 infrared backlight or would like to overdrive strobe a 70″ high intensity bar light, the Light Hub delivers.
