What inspection variables should be evaluated?
Check the illumination port and axis alignment when coupling a spot light to a coaxial lens. Compare centre and corner images.
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.
Fitting light into a coaxial optical path?
A spot source used through a lens illumination port must match the port and the lens's optical requirements. Check the coupling diameter, mechanical attachment and available space without loading the lens mount.
Inspect a uniform target over the entire field, then test the smallest required feature. Vignetting and an uneven spot can remain even when the image centre is bright. Confirm stable mounting and cable strain relief before comparing exposure settings.
