Why laser-based illumination for machine vision?

• Small spectral bandwidth for suppressing disturbing light sources
• Triggered short pulses for freezing fast moving objects
• Delivering sufficient energy for camera exposure even with short pulses
• Illumination at longer distances to objects

In the field of industrial image processing, achieving optimum illumination plays a key role in carrying out assessments of parts. To meet this requirement OptoPrecision developed a diode-based laser. The main goal is to achieve uniform illumination of the measuring area at constant high intensity. The device is constructed to perform consistently in harsh industrial environments.
