This integrated vision system features flexible light bars and backlights for optimal results even in difficult lighting situations. Lighting control is synchronized with the automation system in the sub-µs range. As integral parts of the automation system, both cameras and lighting are easy to synchronize with other sensors, motor positions and events in the machine application. Lighting control with microsecond precision is guaranteed even when synchronizing multiple cameras and light sources. The flexible light bars are available individually or arranged as ring lights in groups of four, six or eight. The backlights are available in two sizes. Each light can feature as many as four different LED colors at a time.
