More Product Information
Our EuroBrite™ lineup provides industry leading technology with value pricing for an unmatched performance / price ratio:
- Complete built-in control for continuous and strobe modes.
- Adaptive Power™, a feature of the EuroBrite™ lighting controller, utilizes an onboard thermistor to maximize light output in continuous mode.
- Adaptive Overdrive,™ another feature of the EuroBrite™ lighting controller, provides a maximal output pulse in strobe mode regardless of the exposure period.
- IP67 sealed enclosure suitable for washdown environments.
- Rugged construction that has been tested to withstand over 1000lb.
- Industrial grade LEDs providing high-intensity illumination of 45klux (working distance of 200mm).
- Daisy chain up to 4 for a combined length of 48”.
- 8 Independent Channels, 2 Output Connectors
- Includes built-in pre-programmed sequencing.
- Provides control for computational imaging, including photometric stereo, extended depth of field, combined bright field + dark field, high dynamic range, and high resolution color.
- Ideal for multi-channel lights and multi-light stations. Due to power output constraints, some configurable light lengths may be limited.
- Housed within a compact enclosure with DIN rail mounting.
- Driven with SignaTech™ for improved safety and easy operation.
NOTE: NOT COMPATIBLE WITH C1 CONNECTORS
Advanced Illumination’s AD-I3-CGX2 adaptor cable is for connecting I3/I3S configured lights with Cognex Gen2 Cameras. By default, an I3/I3S controller can connect directly to a Cognex Gen1 Camera but needs this adaptor to connect to a Cognex Gen2 Camera.
- The RL3536 is characterized as an Aimed Dark Field ring light.
- Precisely aimed LEDs provide a specific and repeatable light pattern on the imaging plane.
- Provides up to 8.4kLux at a working distance of 3” (76mm).
- The light is available in a wide range of wavelengths from UV to IR.
- Diffuser and polarizer options are also available.
- The large inner diameter of the ring light can accommodate lenses up to 55mm in diameter.
- The light can also be ordered with an optional mounting ring.
Customers can leverage our multi-tier approach to customization to reduce engineering costs.
- Our adaptable Build-to-Order (BTO) system provides for very short lead times and allows a product to be configured from a large set of predetermined parameters, with hundreds of thousands of BTO combinations available. BTO products are indicated in the product data-sheet and are shipped within 1-3 weeks, depending on the product.
- Our Semi-Custom products require some additional design and documentation effort but can be a smart choice when more flexibility is required.
- Lastly, a full Custom product can be developed when your budget and time frame allows. This option supplies you with a fully custom-designed and built lighting solution that will be engineered to fit your exact machine vision needs.
