When it comes to illuminating machine vision applications, customers insist on solutions that are faster, smaller, cheaper, and offer more intensity. Steve Kinney and Dave Spaulding of Smart Vision Lights share with Manufacturing Matters how their new offerings address these demands. The DoAll Light – which combines six lights in a single unit – is well suited for applications including automated work cells, where different tasks such as assembly and component verification each require a different type of lighting.
Meanwhile, the company's new Dual OverDrive technology targets logistics and high-speed inspection applications with its intense output. (Up to 10X brighter than continuous lighting). It also allows users to attach polarizers to reduce glare when reading barcodes covered in reflective plastic, for example, without affecting the light output.
