Matching LXV-2HSL and telecentric lenses
Selection

Matching LXV-2HSL and telecentric lenses

Verify object-space field, working distance and permitted height variation even with telecentric optics. Validate using a calibration artefact.

How light colour changes image contrast
Selection

How light colour changes image contrast

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

Pattern imaging of dents and creases
Selection

Pattern imaging of dents and creases

Dents and creases distort patterns. Test different directions and separate defects from smooth deformation caused by normal curvature.

Multicolour AOI and surface orientation
Selection

Multicolour AOI and surface orientation

Multicolour rings can encode incidence direction. Keep camera colour processing fixed so automatic enhancement does not alter directional cues.

From defect definition to repeatable inspection
Selection

From defect definition to repeatable inspection

Build good-part and borderline-defect samples first, then record false rejects and misses. Clear criteria are necessary to judge lighting.

Coverage and angle with LXV-4BRH bar lights
Selection

Coverage and angle with LXV-4BRH bar lights

Bar length and incidence angle jointly determine coverage. Recheck ends and part-height differences after angle changes.

Uniform lighting across a large field
Selection

Uniform lighting across a large field

Test centre, edges and corners separately. Check mounting-plane errors and lens vignetting when assessing large-field uniformity.

LXV-2LIND dual-angle scratch inspection
Selection

LXV-2LIND dual-angle scratch inspection

Capture each angle separately before combining them. Strong reflections from one direction must not hide defects revealed by the other.

Creases, contamination and scratches on batteries
Selection

Creases, contamination and scratches on batteries

Sample creases, contamination and scratches separately. Reflective wrapping also requires normal wrinkles and tension variation in the test set.

LXV-2FPQ imaging of square edges
Selection

LXV-2FPQ imaging of square edges

Check square outlines alongside adjacent reflective surfaces. Ensure the corners remain continuous under the selected diffuse illumination.

Dial characters and pointer position
Selection

Dial characters and pointer position

Dial-cover glare can hide lettering or pointers. Compare angles and check visibility through the pointer’s range of movement.

Tantalum capacitor edges in dark fixtures
Selection

Tantalum capacitor edges in dark fixtures

Dark capacitors can merge with the fixture background. Check all orientations and control reflections from the fixture surface.

Questions

What questions help frame the discussion?

What can I find in the LuxMV article library?

The library contains machine vision lighting notes, selection guidance, inspection application examples, controller integration topics, and company updates.

Can an article replace sample testing?

No. Articles provide selection context; final lighting choices work well when compared with the actual workpiece, camera, lens, and production conditions.
