Line Scan Illumination
Speckle reduced high power density laser line projection
Our in-depth knowledge of laser beam physics have allowed us to develop technologies to project laser illumination with reduced specular noise compatible with line scan imaging. Unlike LED based systems, our unique technology’s spatial coherence maintains high power over long distances while still providing high clarity images. The laser based nature of the technology has the added advantage of increased electrical efficiency.
Key Features
- Up to 5 meters working range
- Up to 20W of direct optical power
- 450, 520, 640, 808nm wavelength
- Compact form factor
- Electrically efficient
Key Applications
- Line scan camera illumination
- 2D machine vision
- Outdoor industrial inspection
- Road, rail, train inspection
- Hot steel inspection
Irrespective of distance
Due to the spatial coherence of the technology we use, high on target optical power is achievable irrespective of projection distance.
Superior image quality
Our unique technology generates laser lines with very low speckle noise vs traditional laser projection. This enables the user to resolve the fine features required in the most demanding machine vision applications.
Flexible illumination projections
The fan angle based laser line projections enable us to offer compact mechanical footprint platforms. This allows maximum flexibility for integration into different vision geometries, including in-line mounting with the cameras, superimposition to increase power densities or stitched side by side to increase field of view.
Furthermore, the illumination intensity profile can be customized to provide even illumination on various camera imaging planes.
