  • Medium MBACK+ OverDrive

    • OverDrive strobe backlight
    • Dimming via potentiometer
    • Sizes from 0.04m² to 0.81m²
    The Medium MBACK+ Overdrive is a backlight both powerful and very diffuse, dedicated to many machine vision applications. Thanks to the high power LED inside, it creates intense luminous flux, that helps cameras to see the workpieces shapes thanks to the shadow puppet effects. You can even decrease the light power when necessary. It works in continuous and strobe mode, with very short rising and falling times25 μs and 15 μs. Equipped with very thin edges, the Medium MBACK+ uniformly illuminates from the whole useful surface, included from the edges. No hot spot to notice !

    The connector can be placed on any side of the MBACK+, which can then be set up on any kind of conveyor belts. At the basis of the connector, 2 LED indicators show if the product is powered and if the strobe mode is on. The MBACK+ is perfectly adapted to quality control tasks, such as: presence/absence, edge defects, material lack. It can also be used as a direct diffuse lighting solution, to inspect shiny workpieces.

  • 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.

  • collimated csback

    Collimated CSBACK

    • Compact semi-collimated backlight
    • >90% surface uniformity
    • Sizes from 0.0025m² to 0.04m²

    TPL Vision’s semi-collimated backlight, the CSBACK is the perfect illumination choice for the inspection or measurement of clear plastics and rounded parts. Collimated light by definition has parallel light rays, and therefore spreads minimally as it propagates, helping to create high-contrast images needed for precise edge detection and defect analysis.

    Key application areas include the inspection of objects with rounded edges and clear parts, which may be challenging to inspect with traditional backlights due to the lack of contrast. A collimated light allows users to eliminate this effect by providing a narrower illumination angle that stops the light from wrapping around rounded parts. This also means that images of clear parts no longer appear “washed out”. The edges are more clearly defined, and details are seen with improved contrast, leading to high-quality images and increased accuracy.

  • Black & Light (Bn’L)

    • Uniform backlight when ON
    • Matte background when OFF
    • Sizes from 0.04m² to 0.81m²

    Many machine vision systems use multiple light sources. LED panels equipped with white diffusers can interfere with the camera and reduce the efficiency of other illumination sources by scattering light in unintended directions, creating unwanted reflections, and diminishing contrast, which can compromise the quality of the inspection.

    The Black & Light (Bn’L) by TPL Vision offers an innovative solution compatible with most vision applications. When the light is on, it works as a traditional homogeneous backlight, highlighting the shape of objects and creating a uniform silhouette. When it’s off, it becomes a matte black background. This is extremely useful when other illuminations are used, as the black background absorbs scattered light and ensures that panels equipped with white diffusers do not interfere with how light is perceived by the camera.

    • MATT DIFFUSER = BLACK BACKGROUND,
    • ULTRA THIN BORDERS,
    • RISING TIME : 25 μs.
  • LED BRICK

    • OEM backlight solution
    • Link multiple in a row
    • Continuous or strobe operation

    Equipped with 4 high powerful LEDs, the LED BRICK modules by TPL Vision can be easily  interconnected. You just have to plug few modules of LED BRICK all together to get very large lighting areas, easily upgradable according to the vision application’s features. If you just add an opaque diffuser on the top of the configuration, you get a perfectly homogeneous backlight, very appreciated by machine vision specialists. The LED BRICK lighting solutions can rely on the LED advanced technology at very affordable prices.

  • Modular Ringlight

    • Powerful, modular ring light
    • OverDrive, sectors, bicolour
    • Dome + Low Angle accessories

    The MR-RING is a bi-colour LED illumination, available in 2 sets of colours and 2 dimensions. It has been designed with tough production environments in mind: IP65 as standard, overdrive embedded, simple remote control capability (selection of colours and quadrants). Direct light can be used when:

    • objects do not reflect light (matt surface),
    • objects require maximum illumination brightness (e.g. fast moving items),
    • objects where shadows are not going to be present or cause problems.

    The MR-RING should be mounted so that the light shines directly onto the object of interest. Maximum illumination intensity will be achieved when the item is closest to the light. The camera can be mounted looking through the ring or to the side dependent on desired effect. The MR-RING can also be used for applications where a machine enclosure is being used to provide reflected diffused light. The MR-DOME version may also be appropriate.
