MERCRON's Tungsten Lamp Controllers regulate several different wattage-levels of Tungsten light-sources for machine vision illumination: 50, 75, 100, 150, 240, 250, 300 & 500 watts.

All models have the following:

• Precision Control Regulation within ¼% of set value of intensity
  
• Real-time Light Feedback
  
• Response Interval of 30 ms (above 20% power)
  
• Remote Control Capability
  
• Sinusoidal Drive Frequency
  
• All's Well SIGNAL
  
• 95% Efficiency
  
• Can be specified as either120 VAC or 230 VAC

MERCRON Tungsten Lamp Controllers For Machine Vision Systems:

• Can regulate various number-of-lamp combinations as long as lamps are connected in series, depending upon the model; e.g., from one 500-watt lamp up to twenty 25-watt lamps - with other combinations in-between
• Are voltage tolerant
  
• Have both Optical & Power Adjustment ratios of 100:1.

MERCRON: Experts in Machine Vision Systems and Illumination

TUNGSTEN
Strong Points	Potential Drawbacks
Small & simple Continuous spectral output which can snowblind the camera Perfect for small target illuminations & fiber-optic bundles	Requires extra filtering Doesn't have much blue output Generates high levels of infrared Short lamplife * Eratic light output in Vision applications * Non-linear correlation of Color temperature & power levels
When driven @ high frequency - by MERCRON...
* A 50-to-100% increase in useable lamplife is had * Are voltage-tolerant * Start-up "shock" is reduced
