Dome light series VA-DL3, Select your size / color, Industrial illumination

Industrial Machine Vision Dome Light 3 Series

Dome lights are machine vision lighting for illuminating products in machine vision

applications like surface defects on metal parts, character inspection on printed material, inspection of PCB components and positioning and recognition of large field objects. Our dome lights are available in different sizes and light colors. The standard colors are White, Red, Green or Blue. On request also UV and IR dome lights are possible. If you can't find the right size, we can customize the dome light to fit your illumination request. Click here for the datasheets.

When to use dome lights in your machine vision application?

Dome lights are the most commonly used lights in machine vision applications. They are very versatile. You can use them in combination with our industrial cameras in computer vision applications where you are inspecting:

• Objects that are reflective and not flat. These diffuse objects can always be illuminated with dome lights

How to use dome lights for illumination

The dome light is ideal for machine vision applications that demand even and diffuse illumination. Commonly used in computer vision applications such as surface inspection tasks to capture fine details and defects without creating harsh shadows. It is generally used for highly reflective objects.

Our Dome light series offers even and diffuse illumination and are commonly used in surface inspection tasks to capture fine details and defects without creating harsh shadows. Available in 8 different sizes.

Production and quality control of Dome lights

Our LED dome lights are produced with a strict process of quality control, to ensure their reliability and consistency. Upon receiving a new batch of LEDs, the quality department completes a comprehensive check to test whether the wavelength falls within the specified tolerances. Approved LEDs are stored in a climate chamber, ready for use in production. The next stage of dome light production is automated and involves placing the LEDs on a PCB that fits the dome light, which is then followed by an inspection and soldering. Moving along the production line, the LED boards are assembled into the mechanical housing of the dome light. Post-assembly, the dome light undergoes testing to ensure that it performs according to its specification. This critical phase ensures that each dome light unit meets our uncompromising quality standards.

The production process of the dome light may also include the creation of a diffuser or polarizer. The diffuser is cut automatically, and every batch of diffuser plates undergoes transparency testing before they are cut into the correct shape. The final step involves a comprehensive quality check, where the intensity, voltage, and current of each dome light are meticulously measured. This step guarantees that all machine vision lights that leave our facility meet the required specifications. To further ensure the long-term consistency of our dome light, we have established a room dedicated to light-source age testing.

During the R&D phase of a new dome light, it will be continuously on for 1 week, while the temperature is monitored. For every new production run, each dome light will be continuously powered for 12 hours, ensuring that the quality and output of our machine vision lights remain uniform over time.
