Five Colors Line
In the field of machine vision, lighting is a decisive factor in the effectiveness of vision systems, directly affecting both the quality of the data captured and the accuracy of the analysis.Â
Thorough control of the light not only reduces interpretative ambiguities but also improves the signal-to-noise ratio and increases the reliability of detecting surface defects or variations. It is in this context that the use of different wavelengths allows the interaction between light and material to be precisely modulated, tailoring the inspection process to specific application requirements. Â
To meet the industry’s needs, we have developed the Five Colors line of LED lighting solutions.  Â
Designed to offer a high level of operational versatility and optimal performance in the most advanced industrial settings, the range stands out for introducing a series of innovative features, thereby setting itself apart from traditional solutions. Furthermore, its operational flexibility ensures that the various families of illuminators adapt perfectly to the application requirements of sectors ranging from lighting and mechanical signalling to machine vision.Â
What are the main features?
From a technical point of view, what sets the Five Colors line apart from traditional illuminators is the use of a LED board comprising five coloured LEDs, capable of reproducing RGBYW colors (red, green, blue, yellow and white) with high, uniform light output in each channel. This type of light ensures a remarkably fast switching between colors, at 10μs, thanks to the presence of three trigger inputs.Â
Furthermore, connecting the illuminators is simplified by the use of a 5-pin cable, which supports complex serial configurations via daisy-chain connection. Collectively, these features therefore allow for greater flexibility of use and easier integration into vision systems.Â
What exactly are the differences between the five families of illuminators?
As discussed earlier, the Five Colors range consists of 5 families of illuminators, each designed to meet the specific needs of the sector, specifically:Â
GEILD: developed to meet the specific requirements of the mechanical lighting and signalling sector and the machine vision industry, it is used both as a light source for vision systems and to provide machine lighting and signalling with a single product.Â
GEMX4-X6: designed for machine vision systems that require product illumination from multiple directions, such as in stereo photometry, this product family is unique in that it offers two types of configurations: GEMX4 and GEMX6. The former is a modular solution comprising four GEM illuminators arranged in a square or rectangular formation. The GEMX6, on the other hand, consists of 6 GEM illuminators arranged in a hexagonal pattern. The integration of the 5-color LED board allows for the capture of a greater number of images, combining different directions and colors to obtain more detailed information on the shape and chromatic characteristics of the materials.Â
GEVX: designed for vision systems using linear or matrix cameras, it stands out for its ability to generate a focused light beam, which can be used in both continuous and strobe modes with trigger control. It is also available in an -ML (multi-lens) version, allowing the lens to be moved to different positions and the light beam to be adjusted with an aperture ranging from 4° to 45°.Â
GZ: designed to deliver uniform, diffused light, making it ideal for machine vision applications where products with specific materials or colors need to be analysed, ensuring consistent and reliable results. It is suitable for use as a backlight, but also when direct light is required.Â
GEM: developed to meet the specific requirements of mechanical lighting and signalling applications and machine vision, this illuminator is ideal for use in any situation where surfaces of varying sizes need to be illuminated. Furthermore, it can be used with linear or matrix cameras and offers the option of integrating a secondary lens to concentrate the light beam at angles of 10° or 25°.Â
In conclusion, the Five Colors line represents a significant advancement in the field of machine vision lighting, offering an unprecedented combination of flexibility, power and control.
