LightGuide technology from LUMIMAX® LED Lighting

 

The LightGuide technology is used in the LUMIMAX® lights of the LG series. The light from High Power LEDs is fed into a structured light guide plate and outcoupled either diffused or collimated over the entire light field.

With this new technology, the lights achieve a homogeneity of up to 90%.

Highly-diffuse backlight



  • A diffuse area light is positioned behind the object
  • The contours of the test object are lit in order to inspect outlines as well as free inner contours
  • Area of application: level control, damage inspection in transparent or semitransparent object surfaces, type and position detection

Collimated backlight



  • A directed, homogeneous area light source is positioned behind the object
  • The contours of the object are lit for a secure control of the object's outline as well as (open) inside contours
  • The light rays from the lighting are significantly directed (almost telecentric) and achieve a precise image of object edges without disturbing overlays/reflections
  • Area of application: dimensional accuracy checks, contour inspection, machined hole and thread inspection, inspection of transparent or semitransparent objects (foils, glass)

Variants with additional collimation accessories improve image contrast enormously. Thus, they are often recommended as a cheaper and space-saving alternative to expensive and long-constructed telecentric lighting. In addition, the collimation minimises the glare effect at manual workstations and in the direct machine environment. The LED Area lights can be used with and without a camera hole as incident and backlight.
