Machine Vision Systems: Let Them Eat Light!
•Extraordinary Solutions To Common Problems With Machine Vision Illumination
Regardless of application, every Machine Vision System requires 3 indispensable elements:
- a camera
- a light-source
- a power supply to drive the lamp
Now, enter the little known 4th element: All the light the CCD camera can get, a need often overlooked or taken for granted. It is assumed that the CCD camera can compensate totally for less light, or that you have to “take what you can get”.
Machine Vision System's Basic Objective:
Regardless of application, the universal objective of a Machine Vision System is to create superior IMAGE QUALITY. This is where Machine Vision lighting comes into significant play, since most Machine Vision Systems are starved for light.
Machine Vision Lighting's Basic Requirement:
Machine Vision lighting is more than a matter of degree of intensity or color. Guaranteed IMAGING QUALITY requires absolutely the most stable light: truly “ripple-free”, steady as sunshine! Otherwise, the usable resolution of the Camera is reduced by the degree of the light's inconsistency and lack of uniformity.
And since light-source instability is the fundamental cause of poor Image Quality, this is where MERCRON comes in — with its patented, Illumination Control technology for —
Machine Vision Lighting's Basic Choices:MERCRON not only drives the lamp — but regulates the light-source of choice, be it a Fluorescent, including Ultra-violet & Infrared, a Tungsten-Halogen light-source, or one of the H.I.D. lamps: Metal Halide, or high-pressure Sodium.
Don't let your Machine Vision System go hungry. Feed it with MERCRON's Illumination Control technology.
