Without good lighting your vision system will never see anything! Therefore identifying the correct lighting technique to use within an inspection solution is vital to the success on the solution. Multipix have trained staff that are experts in this field. Multipix not only have a wealth of knowledge but a huge array of lighting at our disposal. Including ranges from, Moritex, Genesi, Adaptive Lighting, DCM, IMAC and Computar.

Beyond traditional methods there are many special lighting techniques
For example, the IMAC Magic Dome, a single dome light without a camera hole to enable simultaneous images with multiple cameras. Ideal for inspection of inner surfaces of bottle caps and similar applications, giving a 180 degree view.
Another would be Infra-Red illumination: IR lighting can be used to ‘eliminate’ colour information. Or create high contrast especially for items that are difficult to view in visible light. Check out our video to see this effect in action!

Lasers
Lasers are another source of illumination that is often over-looked.
They are typically used for alignment and 3D profiling but can also be used as a source of monochromatic light.
Check out this video where the laser line is being used to enable 3D profiling in combination with a SmartRay 3D camera.
