SICK Vision illumination

SICK offers a wide range of lights to support each Machine Vision solution

Light is used to illuminate an object in a proper way. All the necessary types of lights are found inthe expanded SICK illumination portfolio. The lights are available in different colours and sizes:

Direct front lights: ring light, square ring light, bar light, spot lightIndirect front lights: low angle light, dark field lightCoaxial lights: On axis light, flat dome lightBack light

The lights can be strobed and can be connected to the camera through a standardM12 industrial connector.

Ring light in a robust circular housing with LEDsarranged in an umbrella shaped configuration.

The ring light can be used for applications to detectand verify a label, date/LOT code inspection and fororientation of a product.Thanks to the umbrella shape of the LEDs a brightconcentration of light is created at the center of theillumination area.With ICL and VLR ring lights the working distance canbe up to 300 mm and eld of view up to 250 mm indiameter.

A ring light in a robust square shaped housing, idealto solve a wide variety of vision applications.

Square ring lights are ideal for applications thatrequire cost effective illumination of non-re ecivesurfaces. For instance verify bottle features, printedlabels and orientation of a product.

Due to the vertical mounted high density LEDs thedistribution of light is very bright and direct.

Bar lights are lights where a large number of LEDsare positioned in a square rectangle pointingvertically.

Bar lights are very exible and can be used to solvevarious vision applications, depending on where thelight is positioned. Because of their design they canbe used to illuminate objects directly or from variousangles. Typical dark eld applications can be solvedwith a low angle position. By using a diffuser they canalso solve some back light applications.

The VLR- and ICL spot lights are high intensity LEDspot lights that can illuminate objects from longworking distances up to 2 m.

The spot light can be used in various applicationssuch as surface control, detection, inspection, readingas well as positioning of objects.

The VLR-XXPL is sold as a kit including: LED spot light matching power supply unit with intensity control 5 m connection cable

VLR-XXPL come in four standard colours: white, red,green and blue. The light source and connection cableis IP67.

A low angle ring light is a ring light where the LEDsare pointing inwards in a low angle. The low angle ringlight is a good supplement to a normal dark field light.

Typical applications are detecting edges andscratches on surfaces. Finding structure on glossymaterials is another application that can be solvedwith a low angle ring light.

A close working distance to the object is characteristicfor a low angle ring light.

A dark field light is a ring light where the LED beamangle is 90 to the optical axis.

The single row LED dark eld light is perfectly suitedfor small height variations, for example inspectionof edges, defects or scratches on surfaces, typicallywafers.

The dark eld light has an extremely compact designwith a housing height of less than 10 mm. Its mostef cient operating distance is up to 10 mm.

On axis light provides light in coaxial alignment withthe camera lens. Thanks to the semi transparentmirror that reflects the light from LEDs to the objectit gives bright even illumination across the entirefield of view.

It is perfect suited for inspecting mirror nish worksuch as detecting scratches or details in surfaces.It is perfect when inspecting glossy materials, surfaceconditions and presence/absence of different shapes.

The flat dome light is a combination of a dome lightand a coaxial light in a compact and space savingshape. Thanks to its unique dot pattern on the lightdiffuser surface, the light is transmitted in a uniformshadowless shape to the object.

It is perfect when inspecting glossy materials, surfaceconditions and presence/absence of different shapes.

Depending on the working distance it can act as acoaxial light or a dome light.

SICK back lights provides a highly uniform light overits entire illuminated surface.

Its robust design and slim housing makes it ideal forsillhouette inspections and shape control. Thanks tothe great size (up to 180x180 mm illuminated area)large objects can be inspected.

The back lights are equipped with enhanced edgeintensity to compensate for lens characteristics(vignetting).

VLR Trigger unit is the link between your VLR lightand your SICK camera.

By using the Trigger unit you can control and adjustyour VLR light to get the right light condition for yourapplication.

With the VLR Trigger unit you are able to strobe theVLR lights which reduces heat and saves LED lifetimeas well as maintaining the light intensity on a highlevel.
