What is a linear light in machine vision?
A linear light (or line light) is an LED lighting system designed to produce a long, narrow beam of light.
Unlike standard area illumination, linear lights are optimized to illuminate a specific line or strip of the object. They are commonly used in combination with line scan cameras or for applications requiring uniform illumination over a long area.
This lighting geometry ensures consistent brightness across the entire inspection width, even in high-speed production environments.
For which applications are linear lights used in machine vision?
Linear lights are particularly suited for applications involving continuous inspection or large surfaces.
Typical use cases include:
- line scan inspection systems
- inspection of moving materials (web, films, textiles, paper)
- conveyor-based quality control
- surface defect detection on large parts
- edge inspection and dimensional control
What types of linear lighting solutions does Effilux offer?
Effilux offers a range of LED linear lighting solutions designed for industrial machine vision.
These products typically include:
- different lengths to match inspection width
- high-power versions for demanding applications
- configurations adapted to line scan or area scan systems
- various optical designs to control the light distribution
Are linear lights available with different wavelengths?
Yes, Effilux linear lights can be configured with different wavelengths to suit specific applications.
Depending on requirements, they may include:
- visible light for general inspection
- specific wavelengths to enhance contrast on certain materials
- UV or infrared options for specialized detection tasks
