One constant in the ever-evolving machine vision space is the need for high-quality, consistent lighting. New challenges in the design and specification of machine vision systems require an innovative approach to lighting selection.

In the dark ages before the prevalence of LED lighting choices, shop floors had to rely on consumer lighting options, like fluorescent and incandescent bulbs, or later, through xenon bulbs concentrated through fiber optics, according to Bradley Weber, Datalogic’s application engineering leader and industry product specialist for manufacturing.

Banner Engineering announced the release of WLS27 Multicolor LED Strip Lights with EZ-STATUS™ that perform both illumination and indication functions for machines and workstations. 

The XRP-3000 uses a dual-wavelength sensor detector to measure both ultraviolet and visible light.
