Established in 1999 manufacturing LED lighting controllers for the machine vision industry, Gardasoft is now established globally as a leading supplier of LED lighting controllers. Our LED controller range offers precise light intensity control of your illumination, as well as fast and microsecond accurate timing for strobe control and high speed applications.

The microprocessor based units can be controlled remotely using RS232 or Ethernet, which allow for third party software packages to have full control and integration. Gardasoft also offers free software which can be downloaded from this site enabling you full remote control over your lighting applications. The Ethernet based products can be accessed and controlled simply by accessing your internet browser.

Our SafeSense® technology was developed to enable you to overdrive your LED lights safely and securely. You can now overdrive your lights optimising the maximum light output for your vision solution safe in the knowledge that SafeSense® will protect your lights from damage.

The first generation of ‘PP’ controllers offers a selection of 2, 4 and 8 channel controllers. These are deployed in thousands of applications around the world.

The new ‘RT’ series of LED lighting controllers are based around a switch mode power supply. This now allows for any light to be operated via a standard 24vdc power supply and removes any requirement for heat sinking the controller, whilst still offering all of the benefits found in the PP range of controllers.

The CC320 trigger timing controller takes the experience gained in precise timing control of the lights and created a unique solution for integrating all of the components typically found in a machine vision application, allowing you to very quickly and precisely integrate all of these components into a fully functional vision system solution. If you are integrating lighting, cameras, proximity sensors, encoders etc to generate an automated solution, the CC320 trigger timing controller is your single component solution to fast affordable integration.

In 2009 Gardasoft acquired exciting new LED lighting technology from VCubed UK Limited. The VLX and VTR lights offer solutions to two very different markets but utilise the same latest technology in high power LED technology.

The VLX line lights are the brightest LED line lights available in the world today. The VLX2 light can output an incredible 2.3 million Lux of light, making it ideally suited to today’s high speed line scan camera technology. Covering a range of wavelengths and lighting lengths, there is a light in the VLX range to enhance any line scan application.

Utilising the latest LED technology the VTR lights are designed for the demanding application of ANPR/LPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition / License Plate Recognition). The VTR light source is suitable for a wide range of intelligent traffic solutions (ITS) and can be integrated alongside any camera based solution and syncronised offering precise light control over the target vehicles.
