    Compact Machine Vision Bar Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Machine Vision Lights. Compact Machine Vision Bar Lights.
    Ranging in size from a domino to a small TV remote control, these lights shine bright, even light from tight spots on your production line. Use them to help your machine vision camera capture a detailed image for inspection. Mount them using the included fasteners and T-slot on the back. You can also arrange them in a square formation to minimize shadows. Each light requires an M12 cord (sold separately) to power it.
    Infrared—Infrared lights help you see through material, such as objects wrapped in thin paper, cloth, or plastic. Use them to help you determine the fill level of packages. This light isn’t visible to the human eye, so it won’t create a glare on objects and won’t strain your eyes.

    Machine Vision Bar Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Machine Vision Lights. Machine Vision Bar Lights.
    The most versatile of our machine vision lights, these bar lights can be used alone, installed side-by-side, or assembled into a ring light. When used alone, they illuminate a single strip of light; when multiple are installed next to each other, they flood your inspection area with light. When multiple are configured into a ring around your camera, they give you bright, even light aligned with the camera's field of view. Though these lights look like workspace lights, they shine a focused strip of light for inspection instead of giving off ambient light. Position them directly over the object your camera is inspecting or angle them for a better look at surface defects. An M12 cord (sold separately) is required to power these lights.
    Each light includes a T-slot channel for mounting—keeping your set up modular and easy to adjust. Mount them to T-slotted framing with the included fasteners. Or, add a mount (sold separately) to secure the light to a stand or a nearby surface.
    Infrared—Infrared lights help you see through material, such as objects wrapped in thin paper, cloth, or plastic. Use them to help you determine the fill level of packages. This light isn’t visible to the human eye, so it won’t create a glare on objects and won’t strain your eyes.

    Machine Vision Area Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Machine Vision Lights. Machine Vision Area Lights.
    Flood bright, even light on parts so your machine vision camera can capture a detailed image for inspection. Use these lights to aid a range of inspections, from examining the surface of your part to making sure your labels are aligned. You can also set them up to cast shadows that make small components, such as a flange, easier for your vision sensor to detect than if using an overhead light alone. Each light requires an M12 cord (sold separately) to power it.
    Infrared—Infrared lights help you see through material, such as objects wrapped in thin paper, cloth, or plastic. Use them to help you determine the fill level of packages. The light isn’t visible to the human eye, so it won’t create a glare or cause eye strain.

    Machine Vision Ring Lights

    Surround your camera with light for perfectly aligned brightness. These small and lightweight ring lights are mounted directly around your machine vision camera or vision sensor. You can synchronize these lights with your camera, so they flash as images are captured. To attach them directly to your camera, you'll need a mount (sold separately). If you'd rather mount them to a frame or stand, they have a T-slot on the back and come with mounting fasteners. Each light requires an M12 cord (sold separately) for power.

    Rectangular lights shine directly onto items. They are brighter than round lights, so they can be farther away.
