As UK industry turns towards machine vision for automated product inspection applications such as pass/fail decisions, edge detection, 3D profiling, and object metrology to increase factory throughput to meet consumer demand, Laser Components has designed a range of machine vision laser modules specifically for applications where a line of uniform intensity is required for a vision system.
A laser illumination source emits polarised light that will eliminate any surface glare during measurement to provide a sharper, cleaner image which can be easily processed.
Laser sources also feature a tight spectral bandwidth (typically ±5-10nm) which allows you to use tighter filters with your detector. This provides you with the option to block out as much ambient light as possible which would otherwise interfere with your readings.
Many machine vision systems use a pulsed or modulated to reduce ambient light interference, and to accommodate this we have designed our modules to feature an optional modulation cable which can operate at frequencies up to 1MHz (wavelength dependent).
