What inspection variables should be evaluated?
The focused spot should cover the target without excessive concentration. Check for local saturation when part height changes.
What lighting geometry fits this inspection task?
Match a spot light to the lens illumination port, magnification and target area. A small or off-centre spot can cause uneven brightness.
A fibre system separates the light source from its output. Match the source interface, guide diameter, numerical aperture and output geometry. Spot, line and ring guides suit different spaces; coupling and bend radius affect the light reaching the sample.
For comparisons, use the same guide, working distance and camera settings. Check connector cleanliness, mounting and temperature. Source output is not the same as illuminance on the workpiece. Judge the complete optical path by usable contrast and exposure margin.

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.
Matching a focused spot to the field?
Determine the useful spot diameter at the working distance with the intended coupling optics. A small bright centre can still leave the inspection region under-illuminated. Check the entire field through the camera.
Compare exposure margin and uniformity at the permitted distance range. Confirm mechanical alignment and repeatability after remounting. Use the specified controller and operating limits for the selected source.
