VLX line lights optimise high speed line applications

Line scan camera technology is rapidly moving towards faster and faster line scan speeds. As this speed increases the application becomes more challenging; the illumination also needs to increase in intensity to enable high quality image acquisition.

The VLX range of LED lights is designed specifically to meet this need. With light intensity orders of magnitude higher than conventional LED line light technology, the VLX lights provide an extremely powerful focussed line of light at the subject.

Historically applications requiring a high intensity line light source employed fibre optic solutions due to the lights narrow profile. The VLX lights have been designed with a narrow form factor, providing a high intensity solid state lighting solution for these applications

Whether you application requires conventional top lighting or backlighting, from web inspection of items less than 100mm wide to over 2 metres wide, the VLX light range offers a light that will meet your needs.

With any LED light, the fundamental failure mechanism is heat; the LEDs become hot and the lifetime of the LED degrades. Thermal management of LEDs is critical for long life time performance. Both the VLX1 and VLX2 lights are designed around ensuring maximum cooling and thermal stability of the LEDs. The VLX1 range offers air cooling; both passive and active cooling. The VLX2 range of lights takes utilises a self contained water cooling solution to ensure maximum thermal management and delivers extremely high intensity light; up to 2.3 million Lux in some cases.
