Gardasoft's VLX2 series water cooled LED Line Lights provide ultra-bright, uniform lighting focused to a narrow beam, and are ideally suited to Web Inspection and Surface Inspection linescan illumination applications. The limiting factor in many Line Scan systems is the intensity of the Line Light being used. By using high intensity VLX2 LED lighting the Line Scan acquisition can run many times faster than with conventional air-cooled LED lights allowing the highest production speeds and/or the highest resolution images.
The VLX2 range of LED line lights are designed to thermally manage the LEDs ensuring maximum lifetime of the light whist gaining maximum emission from the LEDs. This thermal management allows the liquid cooled lights to output up to 2.3 Million Lux.
The VLX2 also gives you the ability to profile the light. Along its length the LEDs are controlled in sections which you have complete control over. If your application requires flat field correction, you can increase the light intensity at each end of the light offering you true flat field correction rather than compromising with software adjustment.
There are two options for the optics; short working distance optics (37mm) or long working distance (adjustable between 90-150mm) which will give you a highly homogeneous line 3mm wide at the subject. For highly reflective or specular surfaces, an additional holographic diffuser film can be added to the optics to further enhance line profile.
The VLX2 range of lights is available in a standard range of lengths and wavelengths, and is compatible with Line Scan cameras such as Basler, Dalsa and E2V. If your application requires something outside these standards, please contact Gardasoft as we also manufacture custom lights to match specific application requirements.
