  • Essential EBAR+

    • High performance bar light
    • Angle Changers flexibility
    • Sizes up to 2500mm

    The Essential EBAR+ is a highly powerful LED light, very useful for machine vision applications requiring intense luminous flux. It can be set up downwards, in the same axis as the camera’s, or with an angle of incidence, to perfectly illuminate rectangular areas on a production line. The Essential EBAR+ is very easy to use: you don’t have to adjust anything, only to plug it. There are 2 functioning modes: continuous and strobe, with very short rising and falling times (15 μs and 10 μs). Its black aluminum structure, very robust, is IP65. It also helps to dissipate the heat generated by the LED. Moreover, 2 LED indicators near the connector show if the product is powered. Available in different colours (included IR and UV), the Essential EBAR+ exist in multiple lengths, from 125 mm to 1250 mm (Standard/Link) and up to 2500 mm (OverDrive).

    UV INFO: in the light spectrum, UV (ultra violet) rays are electromagnetic radiations situated between 280 and 400 nm (visible radiations: between 400 and 800 nm). What makes UV very interesting is the fact that, even if it is invisible for the naked eye, it can be observed by fluorescence: when some bodies are submitted to UV wavelengths, they emit a visible light. This is the principle of black light and of counterfeit notes detection.

  • Backlight BLBAR+

    • Intense diffused bar light
    • Can be used as a backlight
    • Sizes up to 2500mm

    The Backlight BLBAR+ is a very powerful lighting solution, equipped with an opaque diffuser that offers a perfect diffusion of light on the whole surface, all the way to the edges. No hot spots to be seen! It’s the best addition to your camera for all machine vision inspection applications. The Backlight BLBAR+ is usually used as a traditional backlight, to make the workpieces’ outlines appear with high contrast, but it can also be used as a direct diffuse light. Its rugged packaging enables efficient LED heat dissipation. The Backlight BLBAR+ is IP65 by default. 2 LED indicators near the connector show if the product is powered. As with any other TPL Vision bar lights, users also benefit from its solid aluminium structure and its easy fixing.

  • Collimated Medium CMBACK+

    • Large area semi-collimated backlight
    • OverDrive option available
    • Sizes from 0.04m² to 0.16m²

    The semi-collimated CMBACK+ is a powerful and very diffuse backlight, dedicated to many machine vision applications. With high powerful LED and specific lenses, it creates a very intense illumination, that helps cameras to clearly see workpieces shapes.

    The CMBACK+ is also manufactured with filters, which eliminate the non-perpendicular light (>30° compared to the vertical axis of the lighting surface). This collimation helps to get highly contrasted images. This is why this product is recommended for the edge detection of round or thick workpieces, and also for the detection of markings or material defects on transparent workpieces (made of glass or plastic).
    The CMBACK + is equipped with a strobe entry and a potentiometer, which enables to vary the lighting power. The OVERDRIVE version can also offer a far higher lighting power. Either in continuous or in strobe mode, it has short rising and falling times: 25 μs and 15 μs. Thanks to its thin edges, the semi-collimated CMBACK+ uniformly illuminates the whole surface analysed. Moreover, the connector can be placed on any side of the light, making it easy to set it up on any kind of conveyor belts. In the base of the connector, 2 LED show if the product is powered and if the strobe mode is on. The CMBACK+ is available in various wavelengths and also in various dimensions.
    • HOMOGENEOUS POWERFUL BACKLIGHT,
    • ULTRA-THIN BORDERS,
