Advanced Illumination

Advanced Illumination are specialists in machine vision lighting, focused on reducing or eliminating the challenges faced when implementing factory automation lighting solutions. As pioneers in the field, Advanced Illumination revolutionised machine vision lighting by becoming the world’s first company to ship solid-state illumination systems in 1993. Over the years, they have built a reputation for innovation and reliability in providing high-quality, customisable lighting solutions for a range of industrial applications.

Advanced Illumination offers a wide range of lighting solutions for various machine vision applications. Their bar lights, available in various lengths, are perfect for large area illumination and can replace spot or ring lights when greater intensity is needed, especially when used in opposing pairs or in a picture frame orientation. Bright field ring lights provide high-angle illumination for detailed inspections, while dark field ring lights project light at a shallow angle to enhance surface features for close-up inspections. Backlights create part silhouettes, offering clear contrast for feature differentiation, and spotlights deliver focused, high-intensity lighting for small, detailed inspections. Line scan lights, ideal for short to intermediate working distances, are used with line scan cameras for high-quality imaging. Coaxial lights offer simultaneous illumination and image collection, enhancing clarity and contrast. Finally, flat and dome diffuse lights provide soft, even lighting, eliminating shadows and ensuring uniform illumination over a wider range of working distances.

OEM Automatic is an authorised distributor of Advanced Illuminations lighting solutions.

Bar Lights

Bar Lights, also known as Linear Array Lights, offer both bright field and dark field illumination, depending on angle of incidence with respect to the object of interest. Because of the variety of lengths available, bar lights are useful for large area illumination when used in opposing pairs or in a picture frame mounting orientation.

Ring Lights (Bright Field)

Bright Field Ring Lights provide illumination directly onto an object, at angles of above 45 degrees from horizontal, creating distinct shadows or general purpose illumination depending on subjects features.

Ring Lights (Dark Field)

Dark Field Lights provide illumination that is projected at a shallow angle to the imaging surface, 45 degrees or less. Typical applications include reflective flat surface defect or edge detection, where the majority of the light may reflect away from the camera on the flat, featureless surface but defects may scatter the light to the camera, creating feature appropriate contrast.

Back Lights

Back Lighting provides an area of uniform illumination which when oriented behind the object of interest it can be used to create a part silhouette of instant contrast between dark and light. It is most useful for edge detection, part location/orientation or presence/absence, hole detection and object gauging.

Flat and Dome Lights

Dome Lights provide diffuse lighting, also known as “cloudy-day illumination”. Reflected light provides non-directional, soft illumination that is free of shadowing. This effect is well suited for inspecting highly specular, and curved objects, but at close working distances.

Line Scan Lights

Line Lights, as opposed to linear array bar lights, employ a secondary lens to focus the light into a narrow beam, typically for short to intermediate working distances, and are mostly used in conjunction with line scan cameras. Line lights are typically mounted in a medium to high angle bright field orientation, but may also be mounted in medium angle dark field.

Spot Lights

Spot Lights are typically characterized as general-purpose illuminators. The EFFI Spot is a great modular solution or the all in one Euro Brights are easy to intergate and control both area great choice. They may be used to create both bright field and dark field effects, depending on the light angle of incidence.

Coaxial

Coaxial Lights provide a type of diffuse illumination, generated from an internal source. The light is then deflected downward onto the imaging plane via a 50% beamsplitter, which also allows light from the object to be collected by the camera above.
