HOMEFOSTEC HALOGEN MACHINE VISION LIGHTING PRODUCTS HIGHLIGHTS > FIBER OPTICS

Product Overview:

Ringlights

SCHOTT-FOSTEC ringlights provide high intensity, uniform, and shadow-free illumination in a compact ring configuration. For your ease of use, our unique clamping systems allow the ringlights to fit most microscopes and camera objectives without the use of adapters. Choose from a range of sizes for an optimum fit. Accessories include color filters, polarizers, analyzers, diffusers, and reflector rings. Modifications and custom configurations can be made to the ringlights to meet your unique design specifications. Both Schott and FOSTEC® ringlights are available as standard products.


Bundles

When your application requires versatility in routing and positioning of light, flexible bundles are the answer. Choose from single, dual, or quad configurations in a variety of active input fiber diameters and overall assembly lengths. Both Schott and FOSTEC® bundles are available as standard products. All of our bundle products can be modified to meet your unique design requirements.

For Machine Vision applications requiring uniform spot illumination, we offer FOSTEC® brand randomized bundles as standard products. Furthermore, the dual and quad randomized bundles were designed to be interchangeable; they maintain light intensity within 10% bundle to bundle and 5% leg to leg.


Backlights

When you need uniform, diffuse illumination for applications such as inspection, imaging, and machine vision, the natural choice is FOSTEC® backlights. They can be used for opaque material inspection, edge detection, or as a diffuse light source. Plus, with their high durability and very low profile - typically under 1" (25.4 mm) - our backlights are very adaptable to small mechanical packages.
Check out our PANELite® Backlights - manufactured without the protective housing to give a slim profile for restrictive space environments. All our backlight products can be modified to meet your unique design requirements.


Lightlines  

Uniform lines of light are critical for machine vision and inspection system applications. SCHOTT-FOSTEC fiber optic lightlines [1" (25.4 mm) to 16" (406.4 mm)] with optional lenses and polarizer kits provide the uniformity you need. When you require a longer lightline, we offer our patented spatially randomized lightlines in 24" and 40" (609.6 mm to 1016 mm) standard sizes and can custom build other sizes up to approximately 100" (2540 mm).

Spatial randomization is a manufacturing process designed to allow light from each input to be distributed over the length of the line, rather than a section of the line. All our lightline products can be modified to meet your unique design requirements.
