Request InfoOpto Engineering srlMANTOVA, Italy, Oct. 28, 2016 — The LTBP series of high-power LED backlights from Opto Engineering provide high image contrast and illuminance for demanding high-speed applications. When positioned behind the objects to be inspected, the LTBP series highlights silhouettes, providing high image contrast and illuminance with exposure times of tens of seconds. The backlights work in strobe mode, but they also feature a special continuous mode to be used for alignment or setting purposes when used with the LTDV1CH-17V controller. The backlights' robust and modular design, featuring M8/M12 connectors and scratch...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 4/29/2019Intelligent Lighting ComponentsA comprehensive portfolio of intelligent lighting components from Basler AG are designed for image processing systems and its ace U and L cameras equipped with the SLP direct communication feature....EuroPhotonics Summer 2019 IssueGardasoft FP200 SeriesThe FP200 series of lighting controllers from Gardasoft Vision Ltd. is suitable for a range of machine vision applications.
