What inspection variables should be evaluated?
Leave adequate cooling space around passive line lights. Check ambient temperature and sustained output rather than cold-start brightness alone.
What lighting geometry fits this inspection task?
Align the illuminated line with the camera scan line and cover the complete inspection width. Compare brightness, working distance and line width together; housing length alone is not enough. Continuous motion also needs stable triggering and speed information.
Fix line rate and exposure, compare both ends with the centre, and check moving samples for smear and banding. Cooling affects sustained operation, so repeat captures after temperature stabilises. Record speed, mounting angle and controller settings to make the setup reproducible.

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.
Allowing for passive cooling?
Provide the mounting and ambient conditions required by the selected light. Passive cooling removes the fan but still depends on a suitable heat path and air circulation. Check temperature limits in the product documentation.
Measure brightness after the assembly reaches steady operating conditions. Compare continuous and triggered use only within the allowed ratings. Confirm that changes in machine temperature do not push exposure or uniformity outside the inspection tolerance.
