OMRON is planning to introduce a new ‘FL Series’ image processing lighting products that use the company’s patented Optical Double Reflection (ODR) optics technology.
FL Series of image processing illumination devices
The innovative technology offers a luminous efficacy, which is four fold brighter than traditional bullet-shape LED-based equipment and offers precise control of light emission, easy deployment and uniform illumination.
OMRON's innovative ODR structure is integrated into a surface-mounted chip, which exhibits high illumination efficiency and better heat dissipation properties. By utilizing the ODR technology, emitted light can be aimed at effectively towards the inspection target, offering 100,000 lux illumination. The inspection device can capture high-clarity images of products such as food moving or electronic components on high-speed lines and thus enhances the inspection reliability and eliminates the requirement to reduce shutter speeds.
Uniform illumination of the FL series is 1.5 times larger than traditional equipment. The distance between the target and the light can be increased to two fold longer than that of traditional equipment and thus the equipment can be deployed at a farther distance from the inspection target, if required.
The small lighting controller enables easy deployment in compact spaces such as cables and other control units. The controller can also be utilized in combination with a 25 m lighting cable, enabling remote adjustment of luminance by deploying an image processing monitor along with the controller.
