Custom Machine Vision Lighting for Non-Standard Inspection Conditions
Use custom machine vision lighting when standard models cannot fit the working distance, field of view, reflection behavior, mechanical envelope, wavelength, or controller timing required by the inspection task.
Non-standard emitting area or working distance
Special wavelength, mixed wavelength, UV, IR, or SWIR requirements
Low-angle, coaxial, dome, or backlight geometry changes
Cable, connector, mounting, or housing constraints
Continuous, trigger, strobe, or overdrive controller matching
Space-limited equipment or OEM/private-label integration
What should be confirmed before a custom light is ordered?
1. Define the inspection target
Clarify material, defect type, field of view, working distance, camera, lens, exposure, speed, and mounting constraints.
2. Select candidate geometry
Compare ring, bar, coaxial, dome, low-angle, backlight, line-scan, or mixed lighting structures against the target feature.
3. Test wavelength and reflection control
Evaluate visible, UV, IR, SWIR, diffuser, polarizer, and filter options when the surface response is uncertain.
4. Adapt mechanical and electrical design
Adjust size, housing, cable exit, connector, channel count, controller mode, and installation interface.
5. Confirm with images and limits
Document what works, where it fails, and what production conditions must be controlled before procurement.
