Advanced Illumination - DCS-800E Quad X2 Controller
Whether you’re looking to create shapes from shading using computational imaging or building a multi-point inspection line, Advanced Illumination’s Quad Controllers are engineered to solve a wide variety of applications.
The DCS-800E provides a total of 8 channels using 2 outputs, each channel capable of firing independently. Built-in pre-programmed sequencing, allows users to progress through pre-determined recipes. This provides users the ability to automatically time a lighting sequence and output a correlated camera trigger, and to do so through multiple pre-programmed routines. As an example, by using the DCS’ frame-start signal, it is possible to synchronize a camera exposure to capture each channel as they flash in sequence.
Driven with Ai’s proprietary SignaTech™, the DCS-800E and DCS-400E delivers peak performance while maintaining safe currents for ensured long-term stability.
Both Quad Controllers are housed in a compact enclosure with DIN rail mounting, delivering seamless integration into your existing machine vision system.
