Product Highlights of Machine Vision Illumination Technology

Illumination is a crucial component in the 2D machine vision lighting and code reading industry. It is the key to having robust and well-contrasted pictures for image processing. Vision Lights are used for Machine Vision, industrial automation, robotics, and identification applications – manufactured by wenglor.

Ring Lights

Very Bright, Homogeneous Illumination without Shadow Formation

The wenglor LRL ring light impresses with its high performance and flexibility for industrial image processing. The optional angle changers allow the illumination angle to be precisely adjusted, resulting in increased image quality and uniform illumination of the field of view. Their durability, reliability and efficiency make the ring lights the ideal solution for quality control, surface inspection and object identification in a wide range of industrial environments. It is available in white, red and infrared light.

Spot Lights

Compact Illumination with Lockable Zoom Lens

wenglor spot lights have an integrated zoom lens that allows the beam characteristics to be adapted to a wide range of working distances and field of view. This enables focused and homogeneous illumination of the object to be tested. They are space-saving, robust and powerful. This makes spot lights ideal for applications in industrial image processing, industrial automation and robotics. They are available in white, red and infrared light sources.

Bar Lights

Flood Areas with Powerful Illumination

Bar lights are a versatile illumination that can be utilised in many lighting conditions. wenglor LED bar lights are a linear array of LEDs with excellent brightness and homogeneity balance across many situations, such as creating a dark field effect to illuminate shiny parts or to create a brightfield effect to flood an area with powerful illumination. Various sizes, colors, illumination angles and diffusion options are available.


Flat Lights

Create Illuminated Areas with Flat Lights / Back Lights

This category of illumination contains highly homogeneous area lights, typically used but not limited to backlighting. Backlights (or flat lights) are often used to create silhouettes around components to generate robust black-on-white contrast. They can also be used to work closely to samples as a highly diffuse direct LED illumination – meaning they can be a powerful tool for illuminating reflective surfaces.

Modular Ring Lights

High Intensity Brightfield Effect for Images

Modular lights are circular arrays with several LEDs. A modular ring light is usually positioned around the optical axis of an image processing camera and gives the image an intense bright-field effect. wenglor offers a range of modular ring lights in many light types suitable for homogeneous illumination at both large and small working distances. 

Domes and Dome Lights

Inspection of Uneven Surfaces, Metals and Shiny Parts

Dome light illumination is excellent for the inspection of uneven surfaces. The highly diffuse lighting from a dome light is also excellent for the inspection of metals and shiny parts. wenglor dome lights use some novel features such as hole aperture adapters to assist with complex feature inspection.

Flat Dome Lights

Homogeneously Illuminate Large Areas

Flat dome lights are most often used as top lights or area lighting to homogeneously illuminate large areas. The name comes from the lighting effect being similar to a traditional dome light but created over a larger field of view. The housing is constructed like an LED flat light (or back light) with a camera hole in the centre. Flat domes are typically used at double the size of the field of view to perfectly illuminate many types of surfaces.
