Customer specifications

Genau hier liegt unsere Stärke. Durch dem planistar die Leuchten im eigenen Hause fertigt, können wir kundenspezifische Hintergrundbeleuchtungen in kurzen Lieferzeiten herstellen.

So müssen Sie sich nicht nach unserem Standardprogramm richten. Wir richtigen uns genau nach Ihren Anforderungen und den Gegebenheiten vor Ort.

So sparen Sie Kosten in der
  • Konzeption der Anlage,
  • Konstruktion und in der
  • Auswertung in der industriellen Bildverarbeitung.

Unsere Fertigungsabläufe sind so geplant, dass eine kundenspezifische Leuchte nahezu den gleichen Durchlauf hat wie eine Standardbeleuchtung. Der einzige Unterschied ist, dass die Sonderleuchte genau Dokumentiert wird. So sind wir auch noch nach Jahren in der Lage, Ersatz zu liefern.

Profitieren Sie von der Zusammenarbeit mit planistar.

Sustainability at

We always take sustainability into account when revising our product ranges, because many small things add up to a big picture. 

This starts with resource and energy conservation, the right choice of materials we use, through to packaging and disposal.
 

  • Brightness in the free group (photobiological safety)
  • Standard light LEDs for comfortable working, reduces fatigue
  • Very flat design for ergonomic working
  • Anti-reflective surface prevents reflections
  • Reduction of raw materials with the same properties
  • All materials can be recycled at the end of their service life
  • Packaging is 100 % recyclable

Three main applications for backlighting

There are basically three types of backlight inspection. First, translucent materials are X-rayed. In addition, contours or outlines of test parts are inspected. A combination of backlighting and oblique light is also used to inspect mostly shiny materials.

X-raying of materials

Translucent materials are illuminated with a customized light source. The goal is to detect:

  • Material inclusions
  • Purity (detection of foreign particles)
  • Fill level monitoring
  • Inspection of sealing seams
  • general damage, etc.

The brightness and color of the light must be adjusted to match the specimen. The features to be detected must not be illuminated too brightly (overexposure) or too darkly.

Inspection of edges and borders

The contours of the specimen are backlit with special test lights. The task is to test:

  • Missing punching (outer edge and holes)
  • Roughness at edges
  • Material damage
  • Breakouts etc.

Again, the light should not be too bright or the edges will be washed out. The features will not be visible.

Inspection of shiny surfaces

Typical inspection task of a reflective specimen evaluation

The light is positioned opposite the observer (mixture of backlighting and incident light viewing) and is reflected in the object. This creates a good contrast to the features to be recognized. These include

  • Missing spots
  • Scratches
  • Fingerprints
  • Residues etc.

The lamp must be the right size, otherwise the reflection and therefore the test area will be too small, especially for difficult specimens to test. The right brightness is also important. A dimmable version is recommended.

When inspecting glossy surfaces, we are able to print stripe structures on the luminous surface. This makes it possible to detect the finest unevenness. The type of print (stripe, grid, size) can be customized.

Selection criteria for correct transmitted light testing

There are several criteria to consider when choosing the right luminaire for a transmitted light inspection. Here are the most important ones.

Die richtige Lichtintensität (Helligkeit)

You often hear "it can't be bright enough". This is not always true. Depending on the part to be inspected, the feature to be detected, and the inspection environment, the light must not be too dark, but also not too bright.

The goal is to find the “golden mean”

The examiner also plays an important role. Ideal brightness may vary depending on age or perception of brightness. We always recommend a dimmable version.

Die passende Lichtfarbe

The correct light color of the test light is important. Typically, a neutral white of about 5000-6000 K is chosen. This is most similar to sunlight (neutral white). Our eyes are used to this light color and people react neutrally to it. If the light color is too warm, the tester may experience premature fatigue. A light color that is too cold also has an unfamiliar or disturbing effect.

The general light color in the room should also be a neutral white. This means that the eye does not have to change direction when looking from the test luminaire to the room.

Die Lichtqualität der Lichtquelle (Ri-Wert)

In addition to light color, the light quality of the light source is also important. The Ra value indicates the composition of the light spectrum of the LED. In general, only the Ra value is used. For LEDs, however, the Ri value (extended Ra value) should be specified. This includes the strong primary colors. planistar always specifies both values.

Die richtige Größe und Bauform der Leuchte

The inspection light is often too small (not much larger than the part to be inspected). However, the small field of view is a disadvantage for the inspector. Since the operator's actual field of view is larger, he or she must adjust his or her eyes to the contrast between the illuminated area and the darker surroundings at the slightest change in viewing direction. This has a negative effect on concentration and promotes fatigue.

Important: The luminaire can never be too large, but it can quickly become too small. 

Möglichkeiten der Anpassung an den Prüfer und die Umgebung

For visual inspection, we always recommend using a dimmer at the workstation. Brightness perception varies depending on the environment, time of day, and worker. Individual adjustment of the inspection light can improve concentration and error detection.
