Sample Testing and Machine Vision Lighting Selection Service
Before choosing a light, test the real part when the defect is small, the surface is reflective or transparent, the line is fast, or the camera/lens setup is already fixed. LuxMV uses the inspection condition to narrow geometry, wavelength, and controller choices.
What makes a lighting test useful?
- Compare front, low-angle, coaxial, dome, backlight, and line-scan geometries when the defect mechanism is uncertain
- Record wavelength, diffuser, polarizer, filter, aperture, exposure, gain, and trigger settings with every useful image
- Retest when production speed, surface finish, oil, curvature, or working distance differs from the submitted sample
- Treat unverifiable accuracy, certification, customer result, or free-sample claims as pending until current evidence is available
Required Inputs
What information should you send?
- Part material, finish, color, and whether the surface is reflective, transparent, dark, curved, or textured
- Target feature or defect, with examples of good and bad parts when available
- Field of view, working distance, camera model, sensor size, lens, and aperture when known
- Exposure time, line speed, trigger method, continuous or strobe preference, and duty cycle constraints
- Installation space, mounting angle, cable route, environmental requirements, and controller interface
Expected Outputs
What should the result include?
- Recommended lighting geometry and candidate product family
- Suggested wavelength, diffuser, polarizer, filter, and reflection-control notes
- Continuous, trigger, strobe, or overdrive controller recommendation when relevant
- Observed limitations and conditions that should be retested before purchase
- RFQ-ready product, customization, and integration notes
