Line Scan Lights for Moving Webs
Use a line-scan light when a line-scan camera reads a moving web, film, or metal strip. The line of light covers the scan width for that exposure. Read length, cooling, and working distance on the line-light model row.
How do you select the right line-scan catalog model?
Open the model row for scan length, cooling, and working distance. Send the part for the series.
| Catalog model | What to verify |
|---|---|
| LXV-3LINP water-cooled line light | Review scan length, coolant integration, power and mounting dimensions. |
| LXV-4LINH line light | Review output, controller mode, exposure time and thermal limits. |
| LXV-4LINV naturally cooled line light | Review available length, working distance, heat and installation space. |
What applications are line scan lights for moving webs best suited for?
Open the series, then send the part.
- Fabric, film, paper, and web inspection
- Metal strip and brake disc surfaces
- High-speed packaging lines
- Large continuous products
When should you avoid using line scan lights for moving webs?
Use another geometry when the surface does this.
- Exposure time is too short for available brightness
- Heat cannot be managed at required power
- The light angle cannot be stabilized across the line
What are the primary selection inputs for line scan lights for moving webs?
Send these with the part.
- Scan width
- Line speed
- Exposure time
- Working distance
- Strobe/overdrive and cooling requirements
How do you plan a complete line-scan lighting setup?
Open the controller, the application, or the custom path, then send the part.
Strobe controller synchronization guide
Understand how exposure, trigger timing, and controller mode affect a moving line-scan setup.
Line-scan film wrinkle inspection
Review an application path where material movement, surface response, and light geometry must be checked together.
Custom line-scan lighting discussion
Share scan width, mounting space, target material, and timing constraints when a catalog arrangement needs review.
What are the key engineering specifications for line scan lights for moving webs?
Wavelength, working distance, voltage, cooling, and strobe sit on the model row.

| Available Wavelengths | High-power White, Red (625nm), NIR, custom narrow bands |
| Typical Working Distance | Listed on each line-light model row |
| Operating Voltage | 24V DC / Constant-current high-power driver |
| Cooling Method | Forced air cooling or liquid/water-cooling modules (e.g., LXV-3LINP) |
| Strobe Overdrive Capability | Strobe timing listed on the line-light model |
What are the most frequently asked questions about line scan lights for moving webs?
When is Line Scan Lights for Moving Webs useful?
Use a line-scan light when a line-scan camera reads a moving web, film, or metal strip. The line of light covers the scan width for that exposure. Read length, cooling, and working distance on the line-light model row.
What information is needed to select a light?
Start with Scan width, Line speed, Exposure time. Share target images and the inspection requirement so the arrangement can be checked on the actual application.
