illumination Definition - what is an illumination
Due to its very compact design, the Line Scan Bar only requires a fraction of the space that a system still based on line scan cameras would need, and makes it suitable for space sensitive applications. This allows system integrators and machine manufacturers more installation options and important cost savings.
This light meter is capable of measuring in both Foot-candle (fc) and lx. The R8130 features an LCD display with a 42-segment analog bargraph, data hold, min/max, peak and relative functions. The tethered sensor allows for flexible operation while taking measurements.
A highly intensive and homogeneous LED illumination is integrated directly in the frame of the sensor housing. The illumination is therefore always optimally aligned to the sensor. Cumbersome calibration and alignment of external light sources is unnecessary. Our sensors are also optionally available without integrated LED illumination.
The sensor is a trilinear sensor, i.e. it has a separate sensitive area for red, green and blue light. For simple applications, the sensor is also available in a monochrome version that only detects gray values.
The image is captured line-by-line, and this data is then composited into a complete image by a frame grabber card. An essential part of the Line Scan Bar is the ‘Grin lens’ – a gradient-index lens, allowing distortion-free 1:1 representation of the object on the sensor surface, thereby crucially contributing to the high image recording quality.
