Vicolux illumination

Machine vision lighting

The reliability of industrial Machine Vision solutions is highly dependent on the arrangement of the lighting. The choice of the correct lighting components is paramount and leads to a logical selection of the appropriate optics and camera system. At the same time, the lighting and optics should be optimally matched to each other in order to be able to stand up to everyday production conditions. The Vision & Control Component System enables the perfect choice of appropriate lighting and optics for each test object. It provides a robust, high-precision long-lived industrial solution.

Vicolux product details

 

The electronics:

Vicolux lighting comes equipped with integrated control as standard. The brightness can be manually adjusted via a potentiometer or set by application of a control voltage (0 to 10 VDC). In addition, the lighting can be switched on and off via an optically de-coupled PLC input at down to 10 µs. Even high-speed processes are no problem with these high-intensity colour lighting units.

Power flash - for high-speeds


Successful MV in high-speed processes demands extremely large
amounts of light on the shortest time-scale. The necessary electronics and control possibilities are integrated into vicolux power flash lighting units and provide lag-free flash lighting in the range from 0.5 µs to 100 µs. Additional flash controllers are superfluous and EMV problems are unknown.
The flash duration and brightness can be manually set or controlled via PLC. Compatible with industrial plant via optically de-coupled trigger inputs that can withstand everything from TTL to PLC levels.

Wide range input voltage:

vicolux lighting operates via an operating voltage range of 10 to 36 VDC, voltage fluctuations are regulated by an integrated circuit.

  • Low voltage vicolux lighting is completely safe for all users.
  • EMC and endurance tested
  • vicolux lighting is CE certified.

The mechanics:

Robust, industry-compatible design, dust-sealed sturdy black anodised aluminium housing or lightweight industrial polyamide protects from the tough working environment. The cables are oil-resistant, dragline compatible and have high resistance to repeated bending and stretching. Installation into cramped conditions can be done via 90 degree beam deflection units. Defined, sturdy mounting and adjustment points

Long operational life

The best heat-removal and vibrations-resistant components ensure an operational lifetime of over 50,000 hours

The lighting technology:

  • Maximum brightness
  • Long operational life due to temperature management and special LED sorting.
  • All types of lighting principles incident light, transmitted light, ring-lighting, dark field lighting, telecentric lighting are available as components.
  • Narrow wavelength spectrum and full spectrum of colours almost completely monochromatic light from IR to UV as well as white light are used.
  • Best homogeneity over the entire illuminated area.
