An easy to use and highly powerful LED barlight by TPL Vision, the Essential EBAR+ comes in different sizes from 17cm to 1.5m. Suitable for various lighting methods, its robust aluminium structure helps dissipate the heat generated by the LED. The EBAR+ is available in 3 versions including standard, link (providing direct connection to the camera) and overdrive (allowing a very precise customisation of the luminous flux).

The Essential EBAR+ UV 405 is a highly powerful LED light, very useful for machine vision applications requiring intense luminous flux. It can be set up downwards, in the same axis as the camera’s, or with an angle of incidence, to perfectly illuminate rectangular areas on a production line.

The Essential EBAR+ UV 405 is very easy to use: you don’t have to adjust anything, only to plug it in. There are 2 functioning modes: continuous and strobe, with very short rising and falling times (15 μs and 10 μs). Its black aluminium structure is very robust with a IP65 rating. It also helps to dissipate the heat generated by the LED. Moreover, 2 LED indicators near the connector show if the product is powered.

• HIGH POWER LED LIGHT

• FROM 17 CM TO 1 M 30

UV INFO: in the light spectrum, UV (ultra violet) rays are electromagnetic radiations situated between 280 and 400 nm (visible radiations: between 400 and 800 nm). What makes UV very interesting is the fact that, even if it is invisible for the naked eye, it can be observed by fluorescence: when some bodies are submitted to UV wavelengths, they emit a visible light. This is the principle of black light and of counterfeit notes detection.

The Backlight BLBAR+ is a very powerful lighting solution, equipped with an opaque diffuser that offers perfect diffusion of light on the whole surface, right to the edges. No hot spots to be seen! It’s the best addition to your camera for all machine vision inspection applications. 

The Backlight BLBAR+ is used as a traditional backlight, to make workpieces’ outlines appear with high contrast, but it can also be used as a direct diffuse light. Its rugged packaging enables efficient LED heat dissipation. BLBAR+ is IP65 by default.  2 LED indicators near the connector show if the product is powered.

TPL Vision’s IP69K washdown barlight was created to provide bright and uniform illumination in a reliable package for food & beverage and pharmaceutical machine vision applications. The enclosure was designed to withstand the rigours of chemical cleaning and decontamination processes associated with these industries. The product provides high power of 8,185 lux at 0.5m (for a 125mm bar) and 14,650 lux (for a 1250mm bar) and comes with a new dimming function, which provides the control needed for finding optimum brightness.

TPL Vision’s Fluorescence Imaging Solution (FIS) is a flexible multi-wavelength UV dome light suitable for authentication, traceability and fluorescence inspection applications. Due to its unique design that allows users to test and select multiple UV wavelengths (UV365, UV395 & UV405), the FIS is suitable for the inspection of bank notes and excise stamps, as well as inspecting various levels of UV security and brand protection features used on pharmaceutical products, electronics and luxury goods, including perfumes and aftershaves, tobacco and alcohol products, and designer-branded goods. Compatible with any visible spectrum camera, the FIS is an all-in-one UV solution that also maximises the safety of operators by blocking direct UV radiation through the dome and the integrated filter.

TPL Vision’s semi-collimated backlight, the CSBACK is the perfect illumination choice for the inspection or measurement of clear plastics and rounded parts. Collimated light by definition has parallel light rays, and therefore spreads minimally as it propagates, helping to create high-contrast images needed for precise edge detection and defect analysis. Key application areas include the inspection of objects with rounded edges and clear parts, which may be challenging to inspect with traditional backlights due to the lack of contrast. A collimated light allows users to eliminate this effect by providing a narrower illumination angle that stops the light from wrapping around rounded parts. This also means that images of clear parts no longer appear “washed out”. The edges are more clearly defined, and details are seen with improved contrast, leading to high-quality images and increased accuracy.

The Essential ELINE is a line scan light for machine vision applications, ideal for long working distance applications of fabric- and web inspection, geometric measurement, quality control applications. Available in a variety of sizes up to 2.5m to cover a range of line scan applications.

The MBACK+ is perfectly adapted to quality control tasks, such as: presence/absence, edge defects, material lack. It can also be used as a direct diffuse lighting solution, to inspect shiny workpieces.

The semi-collimated CMBACK+ is a powerful and very diffuse backlight, dedicated to many machine vision applications.

The CMBACK+ is manufactured with filters which eliminate the non-perpendicular light (>30° compared to the vertical axis of the lighting surface). This collimation helps to get highly contrasted images. This is why this product is recommended for the edge detection of round or thick workpieces, and also for the detection of markings or defects on transparent workpieces.

It has a strobe entry and a potentiometer to vary the lighting power. The OVERDRIVE version offers a higher lighting power. Either in continuous or strobe mode, with short rising and falling times: 25 μs and 15 μs. With thin edges, the CMBACK+ uniformly illuminates the whole surface. The CMBACK+ is available in various wavelengths and various dimensions.

Thanks to its thin borders, the new SMALL SBACK II is a backlight both powerful and homogeneous, that perfectly fits confined spaces. Settled under the objects to be controlled, the SMALL SBACK II highlights the global shape of the objects (shadow puppet effect), which enables the verification of possible outline defects and material lacks.

Equipped with new LED, it offers a lighting power 4 to 5 times higher than in the previous version for the white and red colours (WHI & 630).

Its homogeneity has also been improved on the entire surface, including the backlight edges, so as to prevent the appearance of hot spots. The new SMALL SBACK II works in continuous and strobe mode, and is equipped with a M12 connector that suits the industrial standards.

• VERY POWERFUL LEDS,
• INCREASED HOMOGENEITY,
• LIGHT & COMPACT SMALL BACKLIGHT.

The CSBACK is the perfect illumination choice for the inspection or measurement of clear plastics and rounded parts. Collimated light by definition has parallel light rays, and therefore spreads minimally as it propagates, helping to create high-contrast images needed for precise edge detection and defect analysis.

Key application areas include the inspection of objects with rounded edges and clear parts, which may be challenging to inspect with traditional backlights due to the lack of contrast. A collimated light allows users to eliminate this effect by providing a narrower illumination angle that stops the light from wrapping around rounded parts. This also means that images of clear parts no longer appear “washed out”. The edges are more clearly defined, and details are seen with improved contrast, leading to high-quality images and increased accuracy.

Many machine vision systems use multiple light sources. LED panels equipped with white diffusers can interfere with the camera and reduce the efficiency of other illumination sources by scattering light in unintended directions, creating unwanted reflections, and diminishing contrast, which can compromise the quality of the inspection.

The Black & Light (Bn’L) by TPL Vision offers an innovative solution compatible with most vision applications. When the light is on, it works as a traditional homogeneous backlight, highlighting the shape of objects and creating a uniform silhouette. When it’s off, it becomes a matte black background. This is extremely useful when other illuminations are used, as the black background absorbs scattered light and ensures that panels equipped with white diffusers do not interfere with how light is perceived by the camera.

• POWERFUL FLAT DOME,
• ULTRA-THIN BORDERS,
• RISING TIME: 25 μs.

The MR-DOME is compound of a bi-colour LED lighting ring (2 sets of colours and 2 dimensions) and a dome reflector. It has been designed with tough production environments in mind: IP65 as standard, overdrive embedded, simple remote control capability (selection of colours and quadrants).

Reflected dome light can be used when:

• objects are highly reflective (shiny),
• the target area is subject to shadowing with direct or low angle light sources,
• the target area has some very uneven surfaces.

The MR-DOME should be mounted close to the object of interest to maximise the effect of the illumination style.

To minimise the «black dot» visible within the image, the diameter of the hole at the top of the dome should also be minimised. This can be done using the supplied plastic caps. The MR-DOME provides a highly-diffused light source which has no component of direct lighting. The light intensity is lower than with other illumination techniques but will have a high degree of homogeneity.

The MR-Dark Field (DKF) is made up of our bi-colour LED Modular Ringlight (available in 2 sets of colours and 2 dimensions) and a dark field reflector. The Modular Ringlight and its accessories have been designed with tough production environments in mind: IP65 as standard, overdrive embedded, equipped with a simple remote control capability (selection of colours and quadrants).

Dark field lighting is perfect for creating contrast in applications such as:

• Surface inspection: highlighting defects, scratches, or imperfections on various materials including metal, glass, and plastics,
• Defect detection: for example in the in automotive or semiconductor manufacturing industry, inspecting components, paintwork or machined parts,
• Edge detection: creating high contrast and helping algorithms identify the boundaries of objects.

By directing light towards the subject at a shallow angle, dark field lighting can be used to create contrast in which the highlighted features appear bright against a dark background - hence the name "dark field". Most of the reflected light is directed away from the camera (creating the dark backdrop), and only the light scattered off of any features with edges is collected by the camera, creating a striking contrast.

The MR-LOW ANGLE is compound of a bi-colour LED lighting ring (2 sets of colours and 2 dimensions) and a low angle reflector, with an angle of incidence of 45°.

It has been designed with tough production environments in mind: IP65 as standard, overdrive embedded, simple remote control capability (selection of colours and quadrants).

It is used for applications where a direct light source is considered too harsh or bright but the diffused light provided by the Dome version is not enough intensity. The light source will provide some degree of homogeneity.

Reflected light can be used when:

• objects are highly reflective (shiny),
• the target area is subject to shadowing with direct or low angle light sources,
• the target area has some very un-even surfaces.

The MR-LOW ANGLE should be mounted close to the object of interest to maximise the effect of the illumination style. Moving it further away from the object will lower the light intensity recorded by the camera and weaken the effect of the coloured light and illumination style.
