What inspection variables should be evaluated?

Light colour changes the relative response of target and background. Compare separation rather than overall image brightness.

What lighting geometry fits this inspection task?

Light colour changes the relative brightness of materials and printed areas. Compare wavelengths using the sample response, rather than predicting the result from its visible colour alone. Separate sequential colour captures from simultaneous colour mixing.

Capture each colour with controlled exposure and check for saturated or overlapping camera channels. For colour inspection, fix white balance and record illumination conditions. For outlines, prioritise separation from the background. Repeat with material from different batches.

Before choosing a configuration?

For selection, specify the field of view, smallest target feature, height variation, cycle time and installation space. Use the specific product page and drawing to verify electrical ratings, dimensions and compatibility.

Using wavelength to separate materials?

A surface can reflect different light colours differently. Compare candidate colours with the actual ink, coating or material pair. Begin with monochrome captures if the goal is contrast rather than a colour photograph.

Keep exposure within a usable range for every comparison and avoid clipping. Test normal material variation as well as defects. Record which colour improves the required distinction and which acceptable features it suppresses.
