Selecting the right lighting for machine vision is challenging, as achieving optimal contrast and consistent illumination is crucial for effective image processing. This article discusses the complexities of lighting design, including front versus backlighting and bright versus dark field illumination, and explores how LED technology and the lighting cube concept can streamline your vision system.

Selecting the correct LED lighting for machine vision can be challenging, even for experienced professionals. While red LEDs are commonly used, blue LEDs can be a superior choice for certain applications.

It has always been a challenge to keep 3D products in focus under the camera or to quickly scan various objects at different distances. Liquid lens is a new technology that has been developed to adjust the focus of the optic an easier process.

SWIR illumination and imaging unlock powerful new ways of differentiating materials and chemicals that look similar under visible light.

Smart Vision Lights (SVL) introduces the JWL150-DO Lightgistics Series light, now with Hidden Strobe technology, which delivers the benefits of strobing without the distraction and disorientation associated with LED strobe lights.

Integrating inspection and checklist apps with new AI object detection and classification skills reduces quality escapes and improves traceability for manufacturers.

LumeDEL LLC introduces the NewDEL™ Fiber-coupled LED sources that are designed to generate high radiant power with spectrally stable output and combining high performance with ease-of-use.

A.L.P.® announced leadership changes to strengthen the company and its customer relationships. Effective July 2, 2023, Adam Mayse has been promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer, from Metals Business Unit Manager.

Lighting represents a crucial consideration when designing and specifying a system, as it is fundamental to image quality. Understanding how lighting impacts the rest of the system lays the foundation for system success.

Machine vision lighting is a broad topic but a short article can be useful because some core concepts are not widely known. We’ll start with three core statements.
