The VLX2 Series of smart, ultra high intensity and liquid cooled LED line lights, avalable from Adept Electronic Solutions , delivers substantial benefits and sets the benchmark for the future of LED lighting solutions.
Compared with fibre optic, the VLX2 series of LED line lights has been designed to provide a better alternative to fibre optic-based systems. There are no expensive bulbs to change, therefor saving money and reducing process down-time.
Gardasoft VLX2 water-cooled line lights give extremely bright, uniform lighting focused to a narrow beam. The limiting factor in many linescan systems is the intensity of the line light being used. However, using the VLX2 lighting system, the line scan acquisition can run many times faster than with conventional air-cooled LED lights, thereby allowing higher production speeds and/or higher-resolution images.
Water cooling allows the VLX2 lights to run much more brightly while still maintaining the lifetime of the LEDs in-excess of 50 000 hours for all environmental conditions. Manufacturing emphasis has been placed on intensity and thermal management to ensure efficient, reliable and consistent operation and fast "warm up" time. The units will automatically switch off in the event of a cooling failure to prevent any damage.
Incorporating the VCubed Smart Design Concept (SDC), the VLX2 Series eliminates external controllers and integrates efficient liquid-cooling, current control and communications in a slim-line form factor to deliver a matchless combination of unparalleled light output, excellent reliability and control.
With core capabilities of integrated current control; strobe timing control; comprehensive communications and control management; LED failure detection and thermal management; SDC enables the development of LED lighting solutions hitherto impossible with contemporary systems.
The light output from the units can be varied over a wide range and is either preset or controlled via a communication interface. The system temperature and individual LED device failure detection can be monitored. Lighting profile control and ultra-high light output enables much higher camera line rates and better source imagery.
The VLX2 Series brings substantial benefits to a wide range of manufacturing processes, including web inspection, glass and metal sheet, road surfaces and PCBs.
Other applications include:
- Film/foil inspection
- Food industry
- Pharmaceutical quality control
- Printing, paper and plastics inspection
- Rail inspection
- Traffic-based solutions
