Circular
Fluorescent Illuminators
Model
5 Mini Vision
Ideal for applications that require
concentrated illumination within tight space constraints. A high frequency 25kHz
driver provides 360° of shadowless, flicker-free illumination with a bore of
only 0.984" (25 mm). Specially designed lamps provide maximum output for
7,000 hours. Lamps are available in yellow, black light blue (UV) and various
white color temperatures. Polarizer filters can also be designed to minimize
reflections.
Model
8 Wide Angle Vision
![]()
Designed for applications that require localized lighting over a large field of
view. This popular illuminator has a 4" (101.6mm) bore and uses a high
frequency 25 kHz driver to provide shadowless flicker-free illumination. The
Model 8 has a specially designed circular lamp that provides 7,000 hours of
maximum output. Yellow, black light blue (UV) and various white color
temperatures are available for special requirements.
Model
10 High Frequency Vision
![]()
The Model 10 incorporates the same design elements as the Model 9, except that
it operates at over 25kHz to provide flicker-free illumination. It is ideally
suited for frame grabbing, imaging, video capture, CCTV, inspection, assembly
and machine vision applications. This unit is also available in an ESD-Safe
model.
Superlight™
Model 18 Dual Lamp
![]()
Our most powerful fluorescent circular illuminator consists of two circular
lamps that provide exceptional light output, each operating at high (25kHz)
frequencies. Individual switches allow for independent lamp control. White lamps
are available in various color temperatures, and a black light blue (UV) or
yellow lamp can be substituted. Flexible mounting options, diverse adapters and
polarizer kits are also available.

High
Output Linear Lights
![]()
This light features a compact, low profile design and is ideal for applications
that require top, back or oblique lighting. It utilizes a 25kHz ballast that
provides over 7,000 hours of lamp life and offers dramatic energy savings over
traditional lighting solutions. Four sizes of lighting units are available: twin
4-watt, twin 6-watt, twin 8-watt and twin 13-watt. Black light blue (UV) lamps
and custom configurations are available.
Variable
Intensity High Output Linear Lights
![]()
The Model 13 Plus incorporates the same design elements as the Model 13, except
that it utilizes a variable intensity 85kHz Model 13+ Steady-Lite™ driver. View

Slim-Line™
Light Panels
![]()
These versatile backlight panels provide cool white, flicker free illumination
across the viewing screen. Ideal for applications where uniform backlighting is
required, they can be placed in tight spaces on assembly lines or under conveyor
belts. Specially designed lamps provide 10,000 hours of uniform illumination and
can be powered by low power sources, including batteries.

The compact fluorescent lamps utilized in the 2010 systems provide uniform light with an average lifetime of >8000 hours continuous use. The lamp output will be maintained to approximately ±1.0 % during the life of the lamp. Lamps are pre-burned in a controlled environment within our facility to insure consistent light output right out of the package. This service is also provided for replacement bulbs. The 17S1 and 23S1 models offer a lamp dimmer control as an option.
This precise control is ideal for use in machine vision applications where constant luminous flux is critical for the inspection. The high frequency power supply operates at >40KHz so that sensors with electronic shutters capabilities can be used.
The system can be order with a power entry module incorporating an internal fuse with standard style power line cord or a permanently attached STO line cord.
Illumination systems can be purchased with a variety of lamp temperatures (colors) to meet specific project requirements; these include 4100, 3500 & 3100.
The units are designed for 110 - 125VAC, single-phase operation and requires two (2) type GMA-2 fuses (5mm x 20mm), each 1.0 A maximum.
The industrial grade aluminum extrusion housings provide "T-slots" on the back of the enclosure for easy mounting in any orientation.

Structured Light Laser Diode Modules: compact, rugged, and focusable -
Our complete line of beam shaping optics transforms the familiar laser dot into
different shapes and sizes. For example, a straight line is projected by
allowing one dimension of light to fan out while maintaining tight control over
the other.
What makes our product unique is the evenness of the illumination pattern. For years you paid top dollars for someone to glue glass rods into aluminum housings. These inferior cylindrical lenses, often referred as sophisticated optics, simply spread the laser dot into a gaussian line. We think you deserve more for your money! We incorporate a patented optical line generator in our lasers. Our system design provides the best pattern quality while avoiding the hassles of installation alignment and detector calibration.
