EFFI-Flex-BL is commonly used in linear backlight mode to show the outline of the parts to be checked. However, it can also be used as very diffused directional lighting.

It is above all a lighting for linear camera, allowing the control of paper, glass, transparent material ... It is adaptable wavelength (from blue to IR), compact and practical to fix.

  • Integrated driver with AIC function for easy control of product intensity
  • Cylindrical option for a HIGH POWER Version
  • Robust design for applications in complex environments
  • Product available in IP67 and IP69K versions

Comparison of the homogeneity of an Effi-Flex-BL with different profiles - Longitudinal and Transversal

These measurements were taken on an EFFI-Flex-BL with an optical length of 200mm.

- Additional options -

> Option: Cylindrical lens

The cylindrical lens option improves collimation (concentration of the luminous flux), making it possible to increase the luminance on the exit glass by a factor of 20: the illuminated area becomes then finer.

Part number : EFFI-FLEX-BL-YYY-ZZZ-TR-LS-CYL
CYL : internal cylindrical lens accessory

logo infoEFFI-FLEX-BL-CYL is offered with a transparent window and a default linescan accessory (LS): see EFFI-FLEX Standard.

> Option: Zebra (deflectometry)

The Zebra mask is used at EFFILUX in metrology and deflectometry to reveal defects (scratch, impact, or positioning ...) on reflective, transparent surfaces , or semi-transparent ... For more information on these applications, please refer to this page.

The EFFE-Flex-BL with zebra mask allows transmission control of a transparent surface (glass, plastic, ...). The defect will be revealed in white on black on the shot.

Référence : EFFI-FLEX-BL-YYY-ZZZ-MMM

If zebra option, add -MMM(4mm, 5mm, ...) in the reference.
