The image contrast and signal-to-noise ratio are key to producing an optimum image and these two measures are determined by the amount and quality of light reaching the camera. To obtain a good, consistent image the light must be both sufficiently bright and stable. Variable light intensity can result in poor measurement repeatability with major repercussions in a manufacturing environment, leading to excessive waste, defective product reaching the end user or even line stoppages.

It is common for machine vision requirements to change. To guard against the unexpected, system flexibility should be built in so that existing systems can be adapted to changing requirements and environment. The inclusion of variable lighting control allows the intensity to be adjusted to suit an altered application so that the same vision system can be used with different light settings for different product batches. Making use of overdrive offers even more flexibility because, with an appropriate lighting controller, LEDs can safely be overdriven at up to 10x the published maximum. A common occurrence is where an established system becomes adversely affected by extraneous light sources. If the light is already running at maximum rating in continuous mode, then overdrive enables increased brightness to significantly reduce ambient light interference.

Accurate and consistent lighting control has a massive influence on the quality of the captured images and will ensure that machine vision software receives all the data that is potentially available.

Image processing software generates intelligence from data captured by the camera sensor. Even the most sophisticated software cannot deliver information that is not available in the original image, which means that the quality of system illumination is crucial. This white paper describes the six essential considerations for enhancing machine vision lighting.

LED brightness is proportional to the current running through the device. In fact, a very small change in LED drive voltage will result in a much larger change in light output intensity. This is critical since even for simple vision calliper measurements a 10% change in light level can cause a change of 0.5% in the measured values. All Gardasoft LED controllers regulate the LED current to produce a stable, tightly controlled and highly repeatable light output.

A well-designed lighting controller can bring significant benefits to the setup and use of machine vision systems. Opto-isolated trigger inputs can connect to all common signal sources and a digital, button front panel allows easy and instant configuration of lighting and a controller should incur minimal delay between the trigger signal and the light pulse. Ethernet compatibility with inbuilt web pages can provide live, measured values of current and voltage to determine the performance of the light.

GigE Vision and GenICam compatibility bring enhanced connectivity between components from different manufacturers and enable the controller to be discoverable on the network. Ethernet communications provides remote access to all the lighting within a system to indicate whether a light is connected, disconnected, or short-circuit. It also offers the possibility of remote troubleshooting of a vision system and allowing the configuration of a lighting controller to be changed to suit different batches of product.

LED lighting is often specified by voltage but the brightness is actually determined by the current through the LEDs and not the supply voltage. This means that accurate control of light intensity requires good current control. LEDs are remarkably reliable devices but the light output reduces as the device ages and, in shorter timescale, the increase in temperature after the light is switched on will change the brightness. Switching the light on only when an image is being acquired by pulsing the light minimises the amount of heat produced and significantly improves LED lifetime. Strobing an LED light also brings the major benefit of allowing the light to be ‘overdriven’ to intensities much higher than the continuous light rating.
