More Product Information

- High dispersion for reflective surfaces and shorter working distances.
- Provides a narrower and less intense illumination area than the AL116.
- IP65 compliant washdown option is available, as are a wide spectrum of wavelengths.
- Available with polarization and diffusion light conditioning.
- This expandable compact bar light is pre-engineered for custom lengths in 2″ increments up to 40″.

- Part of the MicroBrite™ family of high performance, compact machine vision lights.
- Provides diffuse illumination at a low angle to cast shadows used to identify surface defects, embossed text, etc.
- This ring light is more diffuse and less directional than the DF196.
- Can be used to produce a bright field effect when the outer diameter is smaller than the working distance.
- Available in 4 sizes with an intensity of 47klux (working distance of 64mm with DF198-180).

- The RL127 is characterized as a Large High Dispersion Bright Field ring light.
- Non-lensed LEDs disperse light at broad angles, providing “soft” lighting for applications that require short to medium working distances.
- The low-profile design is only .75” (19mm) thick, with an O.D. of 4.6” (117mm) and I.D. of 2.61” (66.3mm) allowing it to be used in space constrained applications.
- The I.D. provides a standard 67mm diameter thread with a pitch of .75mm for further mounting flexibility.
- A wide variety of wavelengths are available from UV to IR. An optional polarizer and/or diffuser may be used to further condition the light output.
- The RL121 delivers 20kLux at a working distance of 100mm.

- Part of the MicroBrite™ family of high performance, compact machine vision lights.
- This bar light outperforms the competition with high intensity output of 73 kLux at a working distance of 100mm.
- Available in a broad range of wavelengths with expandable sizes in 3” (75mm) increments up to 18” (450mm).

- Our classic LL163 Line Lights are suitable for low intensity, low speed line scan applications.
- These line lights are well established and have proven reliability.
- Provides a intensity level of 24kLux (working distance of 25mm).
- Available in 7 wavelengths including 395nm (UV) and 880nm (IR).
- Pre-engineered for expandability in 1.5” (38.1mm) increments up to 81” (2.06m).
- LL163 derivatives include LL2912 (3”), LL3024 (6”) and LL3148 (12”) (which represent legacy part numbers)

- Boost performance by up to 3x over its precursor thanks to an Intel x6000 series embedded processor
- Capture high-resolution images at high speed through a choice of CMOS sensors from two to 16 Megapixels
- Deploy in dirty, humid, or harsh industrial environments by way of a compact IP67-rated design
- Communicate actions and results to other automation and enterprise equipment via real-time digital I/Os, and Ethernet (TCP/IP, CC-Link IE Field Basic, EtherNet/IP™2, Modbus® , PROFINET® , and native robot interfaces)
- Handle Human-Machine Interface (HMI) function by way of VGA and USB connectivity
- Simplify vision setup and upkeep via integrated lens focusing and illumination intensity control
- Synchronize to the manufacturing line through the support for incremental rotary encoders
- Solve machine vision applications efficiently with Aurora Design Assistant by constructing flowcharts instead of writing program code
- Maintain control and independence through the ability to code custom flowchart steps
- Tackle machine vision applications with utmost confidence using field-proven tools for analyzing, locating, classifying, measuring, reading, and verifying
- Leverage deep learning for visual inspection through image classification and segmentation tools

- 8 Independent Channels, 2 Output Connectors
- Includes built-in pre-programmed sequencing.
- Provides control for computational imaging, including photometric stereo, extended depth of field, combined bright field + dark field, high dynamic range, and high resolution color.
- Ideal for multi-channel lights and multi-light stations. Due to power output constraints, some configurable light lengths may be limited.
- Housed within a compact enclosure with DIN rail mounting.
- Driven with SignaTech™ for improved safety and easy operation.
NOTE: NOT COMPATIBLE WITH C1 CONNECTORS
