  • collimated csback

    Collimated CSBACK

    • Compact semi-collimated backlight
    • >90% surface uniformity
    • Sizes from 0.0025m² to 0.04m²

    TPL Vision’s semi-collimated backlight, the CSBACK is the perfect illumination choice for the inspection or measurement of clear plastics and rounded parts. Collimated light by definition has parallel light rays, and therefore spreads minimally as it propagates, helping to create high-contrast images needed for precise edge detection and defect analysis.

    Key application areas include the inspection of objects with rounded edges and clear parts, which may be challenging to inspect with traditional backlights due to the lack of contrast. A collimated light allows users to eliminate this effect by providing a narrower illumination angle that stops the light from wrapping around rounded parts. This also means that images of clear parts no longer appear “washed out”. The edges are more clearly defined, and details are seen with improved contrast, leading to high-quality images and increased accuracy.

    UV INFO: in the light spectrum, UV (ultra violet) rays are electromagnetic radiations situated between 280 and 400 nm (visible radiations: between 400 and 800 nm). What makes UV very interesting is the fact that, even if it is invisible for the naked eye, it can be observed by fluorescence: when some bodies are submitted to UV wavelengths, they emit a visible light. This is the principle of black light and of counterfeit notes detection.

  • Black & Light (Bn’L)

    • Uniform backlight when ON
    • Matte background when OFF
    • Sizes from 0.04m² to 0.81m²

    Many machine vision systems are not made of 1 single light, but of many different illuminations. And, quite often, LED panels can disturb the camera and the other lights efficiency, because they are equipped with a white diffuser, when a dark background would be required.   The Black & Light (Bn’L) by TPL Vision is an innovative solution, that can be integrated in most applications. Equipped with high brightness LEDs, once it is switched on, it perfectly highlights the shape of the products you need to control.   And, as soon as it is off, it becomes a dark background, that helps the other illuminations to work properly. Moreover, the matt materials help to absorb the extra light, and to enhance the inspection process. The Black & Light is available in Standard, Overdrive versions.

    • MATT DIFFUSER = BLACK BACKGROUND,
    • ULTRA THIN BORDERS,
    • RISING TIME : 25 μs.
