Advanced Illumination, a leader in lighting solutions for machine vision applications, part of the Exaktera group, today announced the launch of its AL325 Series Modular Bar Lights. This new series sets a higher standard for performance and adaptability, directly addressing the limitations encountered with traditional, fixed-configuration machine vision lights.

Machine vision integrators frequently face challenges adapting lighting to diverse or evolving inspection needs. Conventional bar lights often require purchasing entirely new units when beam angles or light conditioning needs change, leading to increased costs and project delays. Furthermore, during the crucial application testing phase, evaluating multiple fixed-optic loaner units can be cumbersome and inefficient. The AL325 Series overcomes these constraints with a modular system built around field-swappable lenses and light conditioning materials. This core feature allows users to easily experiment and optimize configurations directly in the field – eliminating guesswork, reducing setup time, and minimizing the need for extensive inventory.

Engineered for demanding applications, the AL325 Series leverages high-performance LEDs, efficient TIR (Total Internal Reflection) lenses, and superior thermal management to deliver best-in-class intensity, achieving nearly twice the brightness of leading competing modular bar lights. This significant advantage enables higher throughput speeds and improved image quality, even in challenging conditions.

Further enhancing its versatility, the AL325 series includes embedded control capabilities for simple, hassle-free continuous or overdrive strobe operation without external controllers. The scalability of the extrusion-based design ensures the AL325 can adapt to multiple size requirements, ranging from 150 mm to 2.1 m in length, providing optimal illumination for applications ranging from detailed component gauging to lighting for logistics scan tunnels.

To cater to a wide array of specific application requirements, the AL325 Series offers extensive customization. Customers can select from 16 different wavelengths. A variety of light conditioning options are available, including homogenizers, diffusers, polarizers, and specialized direction-turning films ideal for creating oblique lighting effects. Furthermore, the series features five distinct lens options, providing beam spreads ranging from a narrow 10° to an extra wide 56°, complemented by an elliptical lens choice for targeted 10° x 25° projections. Underscoring Ai's commitment to rapid deployment, the AL325 features industry-leading build-to-order (BTO) lead times of just one to two weeks.

Advanced Illumination, a leading provider of innovative lighting solutions for machine vision applications, is proud to announce the launch of its latest product, the LL330 Series of Sealed High Intensity Line Lights. Designed to excel in challenging industrial environments, the LL330 Series sets a new standard for reliability and performance in line scan imaging applications.

The LL330 Series is engineered to address the common challenges faced by industries that rely on line scan imaging in dusty and debris-laden environments. Traditional line lights are susceptible to dust and debris ingress, leading to decreased performance, frequent maintenance, and costly downtime. The LL330 Series overcomes these issues with its innovative sealed design, ensuring complete protection from dust and debris while maintaining optimal light output.

The LL330 Series is ideal for a wide range of industries where dust and debris are a concern, including lumber, ceramics, stone cutting, paper, and other manufacturing segments that utilize line scan imaging. In these environments, airborne particles can quickly infiltrate non-sealed line lights, leading to decreased performance and increased maintenance requirements. The LL330 Series' sealed design ensures peak performance and uninterrupted, reliable operation.

In addition to its dust-proof capability, the LL330 Series boasts a passively cooled design capable of efficiently dissipating immense heat, allowing for up to 1.25 million lux in continuous operation. Unlike line lights with active cooling fans, which are prone to failure due to dust accumulation, the passive cooling system ensures consistent performance and product longevity.

The LL330 Series offers exceptional scalability, allowing users to customize the light's length to their specific requirements. With standard lengths ranging from 159.8 mm to 1059.8 mm, the line lights can be easily configured in 150 mm increments. For applications requiring longer lengths exceeding 1 meter, the LL330 Series features an end-to-end stackable design, providing unparalleled flexibility.

"We are excited to introduce the LL330 Series to the market," said Mariann Kiraly, Business Development Manager at Advanced Illumination. "This product is a game-changer for industries that contend with dust and debris in their imaging environment. The LL330's sealed design with passive thermal management and high-output intensity makes this series an ideal solution for challenging line scan applications. End users will also appreciate the LL330's embedded control option, eliminating the need for an external controller, saving valuable space and simplifying installation."

The LL330 Series is available in various wavelengths, including white, 455 nm, and 625 nm, with more wavelength options coming soon. The line lights are built-to-order and can be shipped in three weeks or less, ensuring quick turnaround times for customers.
