Machine Vision Line Scan Lights
Use a line scan light when the camera captures one line at a time on a moving target. The light must provide enough intensity across the scan width while matching line speed, exposure time, working distance, and heat limits.
Best fit
- Fabric, film, paper, and web inspection
- Metal strip and brake disc surfaces
- High-speed packaging lines
- Large continuous products
Likely to fail when
- Exposure time is too short for available brightness
- Heat cannot be managed at required power
- The light angle cannot be stabilized across the line
Selection inputs
- Scan width
- Line speed
- Exposure time
- Working distance
- Strobe/overdrive and cooling requirements
