Reflected light illuminators for continuous operation -
Our assemblies at a glance

Most of our lighting works with edge lighting and a light guide. As planistar had the patent for the edge lighting of light sources and light distribution using a dot grid, we also have the knowledge to calculate and produce any size.  

Our surface light guides have the advantage of maintaining uniform light distribution over the entire service life. The failure of an LED row in the edge area has virtually no effect on the uniformity in the measuring range. With a matrix system, on the other hand, a dark spot is immediately visible.

For some applications, however, a conventional matrix system is more suitable. Thanks to our sophisticated design of these lights, we can also supply you with devices with good homogeneity and very high light intensity. These reflected lights for image processing are usually very bright, making it possible to reduce motion blur with short exposure times.
 

In our lights, the LED controllers are already built into the light. This prevents operating errors and accidental damage due to overcurrent.

In order to achieve optimum interaction between the LED and the control unit, the electronics are also developed in-house and manufactured exclusively for us by a regional company. 

Thanks to our well-equipped machinery, we are able to produce both very small and very large LED lighting.

We have already been able to realize illuminated surfaces from just 2 x 2 mm up to 2600 x 1600 mm.

With this variety, we can offer solutions ranging from very small applications to entire pallet spaces or automotive parts. The apertures are adapted to the number and size of industrial cameras for industrial image processing.

The lighting solution is often supplemented with camera mounting brackets, fastening elements or apertures.
In this way, we supply our customers with a complete solution package.

Thanks to the diversity of our production options and the high level of vertical integration, we can always adapt to the conditions of our customers' image processing tasks and offer an optimum solution for all aspects of lighting.

A conventional hemispherical light dome is an ideal solution.

So much for the theory. Now we come to the practice:

1. Dome lighting only develops its full lighting effect when the test item is immersed in the illuminated dome. This is precisely where the problem lies. In most cases, this is very difficult or even impossible to achieve. If a dome is mounted at a distance above the test part, the lighting effect is similar to that of a conventional and cheaper surface light.
2. In addition, a conventional dome cannot be produced in every dimension. The diameter automatically determines the height and therefore the camera distance. Here, the user must rely on standard dimensions and adapt completely to the dimensions.
