Industrial Machine Vision Diffuse Low Angle Ring Light Series
Diffuse low angle ring lights are industrial LED lights for illuminating products in machine vision applications like surface defects on metal parts, character inspection on printed material, inspection of PCB components and positioning and recognition of large field objects in computer vision applications. Our diffuse low angle ring light are available in different sizes and light colors. The standard colors are White, Red, Green or Blue. On request also UV and IR diffuse low angle ring light are possible. If you can't find the right size, we can customize the diffuse low angle ring light to fit your illumination request.

When to use ring light in your machine vision application?
Diffuse low angle ring lights are the most commonly used lights in machine vision applications. They are very versatile. You can use them combining with our industrial cameras in computer vision applications where you are inspecting:
- Objects that are flat. In case an object is reflective, you need to adjust the angle of the diffuse low angle ring light that there is no direct reflection into the camera image
- Objects that are not flat and not reflective. These diffuse objects can always be illuminated with diffuse low angle ring light
In case an object is not flat and reflective, we strongly recommend using a dome light for illuminating your product.

How to use ring light for illumination in computer vision
We recommend using the power supplies as indicated in the datasheet to control the brightness of the diffuse low angle ring light. Additionally, these power supplies give you the option to trigger the diffuse low angle ring light. Triggering the diffuse low angle ring light will increase the lifespan of the diffuse low angle ring light.

Production and quality control of diffuse low angle ring light
Our LED diffuse low angle ring lights are produced with a strict process of quality control, to ensure their reliability and consistency. Upon receiving a new batch of LEDs, the quality department completes a comprehensive check to test whether the wavelength falls within the specified tolerances. Approved LEDs are stored in a climate chamber, ready for use in production. The next stage of diffuse low angle ring light production is automated and involves placing the LEDs on a PCB that fits the diffuse low angle ring light, which is then followed by an inspection and soldering. Moving along the production line, the LED boards are assembled into the mechanical housing of the diffuse low angle ring light. Post-assembly, the diffuse low angle ring light undergoes testing to ensure that performs according to its specification. This critical phase ensures that each diffuse low angle ring light unit meets our uncompromising quality standards.
The production process of the diffuse low angle ring light may also include the creation of a diffuser or polarizer. The diffuser is cut automatically, and every batch of diffuser plates undergoes transparency testing before they are cut into the correct shape. The final step involves a comprehensive quality check, where the intensity, voltage, and current of each diffuse low angle ring light are meticulously measured. This step guarantees that all machine vision lights that leave our facility meet the required specifications. To further ensure the long-term consistency of our diffuse low angle ring light, we have established a room dedicated to light-source age testing.
During the R&D phase of a new diffuse low angle ring light, it will be continuously on for 1 week, while the temperature is monitored. For every new production run, each diffuse low angle ring light will be continuously powered for 12 hours, ensuring that the quality and output of our machine vision lights remain uniform over time.
