Lighting

Lighting is a crucial component of any machine vision system: choosing an illuminator of a given color or geometry can effectively reveal or mask the characteristics of an object, thus enabling the software to process the resulting image properly.

Opto Engineering machine vision illuminators are designed to satisfy the ever more stringent requirements of industrial automation.

Opto Engineering offers a wide range of industrial LED illuminators, designed to illuminate uniformly with direct or indirect light, with diffused or collimated light, in various wavelengths and operating modes (continuous/strobed/boosted). We offer various illumination geometries including collimated telecentric illuminators, pattern projectors, backlights, ring light units, coaxial, dome, bar and spot illuminators.

Opto Engineering has also applied telecentric technology to its LED illuminators: our collimated illuminators, combined with our telecentric lenses, offer exceptional performance in optical measurement applications, with increased depth of field and minimal undesired reflections. Some of our illuminators are designed for use with our lenses, generating lighting optimized for specific fields of view and, in some models, also install directly to their compatible lenses.

Opto Engineering LED pattern projectors are designed for use in 3D reconstruction, profile measurement, stereo vision, alignment, flatness control and robot guidance for pick&place applications. Opto Engineering offers a complete range with various power ratings, operating modes (continuous/strobed) and wavelengths, as well as special models with a tilting mechanism that enables uniform projection even on inclined surfaces.

Our LED projectors are compatible with any C-mount lens, can project areas of various sizes, feature a vast range of interchangeable patterns and, in contrast with laser projectors, provide clearer edges and more uniform illumination (no speckle effect).
