User Manual
More Product Information
- The RL2316 is characterized as a Compact Aimed Bright Field ring light.
- Precisely aimed LEDs provide a level of lighting control not found in traditional illuminators.
- A range of standoffs and fields of view may be specified at the time of order.
- The ring light is available in a wide range of wavelengths from UV to IR.
- Diffuser and polarizer options are also available.
- With its compact form factor, the RL2316 is ideal for the inspection of smaller, non-specular objects and where space for the illuminator is limited.
- Part of the MicroBrite™ family of high performance, compact machine vision lights.
- Our DF196 Series delivers direct illumination at a low angle to cast shadows used to identify surface defects, embossed text, etc.
- This dark field ring light is more directional and less diffuse than the DF198.
- Available in 4 sizes with an intesity of 72kLux (working distance of 25mm with DF196-100)
- The Narrow Linear Diffuse Light series is ideal for precision scanning of highly reflective materials.
- The DL151 is available in a wide range of wavelengths and provides up to 28kLux at a 1” (25mm) standoff.
- The extruded aluminum enclosure can be expanded in 2″ (51mm) increments from 2″ to 70″ (1778mm).
- The AL143, 2×3 Spot Light is available in a wide range of wavelengths with multiple lens options.
- Ideal Illumination for medium working distances.
- Convenient mounting with an M4 nut channel.
- Washdown version is available
-
The BL2 Series provides a highly uniform and high intensity, diffuse backlight source, primarily used for creating object silhouettes of high contrast or imaging through semi-translucent materials.
-
BL2 Backlights are pre-engineered for scalability, allowing for size configurations in 1″ increments up to 46″ in length and width.
-
This Backlight series is offered in 5 wavelength options and can be configured with either a polarization or collimation film.
-
As with all Advanced illumination products, this series is built for tailorability while still maintaining a standard lead time of one to three weeks.
-
Each side of a BL2 is equiped with M6 nut channels, allowing for quick and easy mounting. This series comes with our LB111 Mounting Brackets.
The Focus Compact Model (FCM) utility is a streamlined software package designed to be used with Focus’ AURIGA high-end Pulsed-IV system, that is used to generate Compact Models for transistors from their Pulsed-IV and wideband pulsed s-parameter data.
This is achieved by generating a network of lumped circuit elements that represent accurately the fundamental linear & non-linear behavior of the device over a broad range of bias and power range.
The result of the modeling is a netlist and compatible with- the most common CAD tools used in RF Design; such as AWR Microwave office (MWO) and Keysight PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS).

- Future Proof
- Upgradeable Bandwidth
- Field Upgradable Software and Hardware Options
- The LL158 Series produces an oblique (30°) line of illumination for line scan applications in a passively cooled design.
- When oriented across a moving web or conveyor line, unlike standard line lights, this linear light’s unique geometry highlights engraved or raised lines that run parallel to the material travel.
- Provides an intensity level of 53kLux (working distance of 75mm).
- Pre-engineered for expandability in 6” (152mm) increments up to 90” (2.28m).
- Available intensity control provides illuminance adjustability for every 6″ increment via a 0 – 10v input.
