Ultra-Compact Reed Switches for Precision Electronics
The ultraminiature reed switch series offers some of the smallest magnetic switching solutions available, with glass body lengths starting at just 3.95 mm. These switches are engineered for precision and reliability in space-constrained environments, making them ideal for miniaturized electronics and high-density circuit designs.
Despite their compact size, these switches maintain strong electrical performance thanks to advanced contact materials and hermetically sealed construction. Their flat lead design supports automated assembly processes such as surface mounting and tape-and-reel packaging, enabling efficient integration into high-volume production lines.
Commonly used in semiconductor testing, medical devices, telecommunications, security systems, and automotive electronics, these switches provide dependable magnetic actuation in applications where size, sensitivity, and durability are critical.
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”.
With their domed shape, LUMIMAX® LED dome lights generate a diffused light that falls on the test object from all directions, achieving completely shadow-free illumination.
Typical applications are the inspection of reflective or mirroring materials. With a LED dome light, even complex or curved surfaces can be illuminated homogeneously.
LED dome lights are extremely well suited for standard-compliant reading and verification of two-dimensional codes.
- The RL127 is characterized as a Large High Dispersion Bright Field ring light.
- Non-lensed LEDs disperse light at broad angles, providing “soft” lighting for applications that require short to medium working distances.
- The low-profile design is only .75” (19mm) thick, with an O.D. of 4.6” (117mm) and I.D. of 2.61” (66.3mm) allowing it to be used in space constrained applications.
- The I.D. provides a standard 67mm diameter thread with a pitch of .75mm for further mounting flexibility.
- A wide variety of wavelengths are available from UV to IR. An optional polarizer and/or diffuser may be used to further condition the light output.
- The RL121 delivers 20kLux at a working distance of 100mm.
The D19-GT/-GTS Download Station ensures a secure and high-speed data download (via 40 Gbit Ethernet) from MDR or MDR-GT/-GTS storage media. Specifically designed for flight testing applications with demanding data rates and storage needs, the D19-GTS, when paired with MDR-GTS, incorporates advanced cybersecurity features like Data-At-Rest (DAR) protection and firmware updates. Configuration changes are facilitated through a Removable Secure Operational Disk (RSOD).
- The BL128 Series provides a compact linear backlight solution ideal for space-constrained line scan applications.
- Its ultra-thin profile (less than ½”) minimizes vertical footprint, and bezel-free design along the length allows for placement of its emitting window right up to adjacent surfaces.
- While optimized for line scan setups, the BL128’s versatility extends to general-purpose machine vision lighting as a non-directional, highly diffuse bar light illuminator when needed.
The RTR-X4 is one of the most advanced digital telemetry receivers on the market with its well-recognized RF performance and signal processing capability.
The 4U chassis-based RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing flexibility and capability as well as a rich set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats.
Not only does the CORTEX RTR provide an extensive set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats, but the user can easily upgrade the equipment in the field to access additional and new features. The RTR-X4 is an excellent fit for flight test ranges, offering full flexibility and easy access to settings through its user-friendly GUI on the embedded 8.4-inch screen.
- The I3 and I3S Inline Controllers provide overdrive strobe and continuous operation to lights from a small package when larger, more versatile external controllers are not necessary.
- Switching between continuous-on, gating on/off and strobe overdrive is seamless. The I3 and I3S employ Ai’s exclusive Adaptive OverdriveTM that optimizes strobe power regardless of input Pulse Width.
- The I3 is a default-on device on power-up, whereas the I3S is a default-off device, requiring a trigger to illuminate.
- All ICS models employ reverse input polarity protection.
- Provides continuous-on and DC gating on/off control as well as 0-10 volt analog dimming. 30 uSec response time.
- A wash down version of all ICS drivers is provided automatically with any wash down light to which it is attached.
- 0 – 100% Intensity Control with optional DCS-MP, purchased separately, will provide manual intensity control via an external potentiometer.
The FX2 is the edge-lit flat diffuse light built for reflective surface inspection.
Unlike back-lit diffuse designs, the FX2 positions its LEDs in the frame rather than behind the emitting window. This side-lit geometry allows for a thin housing and a scalable planar design with uniform output at longer working distances.
The FX2 is available in sizes from 50 mm x 50 mm up to 600 mm x 600 mm in 25 mm increments. It is offered in 11 wavelengths, with optional polarization to help reduce glare on reflective surfaces, and can be specified with a central viewport for select front lighting applications.
