In the realm of industrial imaging, the quest for advanced illumination solutions has led to the emergence of laser illumination technology. This innovative approach to illumination has been gaining traction due to its unique capabilities and advantages over traditional lighting methods. Laser illumination technology is not just a passing trend; it is shaping up to be the future of industrial imaging.
Delivering Unparalleled Brightness and Image Quality
One of the most significant advantages of our laser illumination technology is its ability to produce high brightness levels, which can be thousands of times greater than light-emitting diode (LED) or halogen light sources. This high brightness enables the highest possible image quality in various applications, making it an ideal choice for demanding high-speed imaging and machine vision applications. Our laser diodes inherently have a long lifetime and stable brightness level that decreases much slower than conventional lamp-based systems.
Revolutionizing Imaging with the Ability to See Through Heat
Our CAVILUX laser illumination allows users to see through heat by eliminating high-intensity thermal light from the object, making it possible to view the process as if it were cold. This feature is especially important in industries such as welding, additive manufacturing and metals manufacturing, where traditional imaging methods struggle to provide clear and accurate images due to the thermal light from the process (light output of heat).
Freezing Fast Motion: A Game-Changer in Industrial Imaging
Our CAVILUX lasers can create very short pulses that can ”freeze the motion” of fast-moving objects. This capability is crucial when monitoring fast-moving industrial webs, high-magnification flow processes, or defense applications such as ballistics, explosions, and shockwaves. The high maximum duty cycle of our CAVILUX lasers enables them to operate at frame rates up to several MHz for a very short period of time.
Compact and Robust Design for Diverse Applications
Our products’ compact and robust design makes them suitable for various industrial and scientific applications. The CAVILUX Smart, for example, is a versatile, high-power pulsed diode laser light source ideal for high-speed and machine vision cameras in scientific and industrial R&D.
CAVILUX Smart offers a unique combination of characteristics:
- Excellent uniformity & speckle free laser illumination
- High level of brightness over a long distance
- Fiber coupling enables to optimize the position of the illumination for each application
- Accurate and versatile synchronization with high-speed cameras and/or the process
- Generation of very short light pulses with very low jitter levels
Leading the Way in Energy Efficiency and Longevity
Our laser illumination technology offers improved energy efficiency compared to traditional lighting methods. Our laser diodes offer high efficiencies at much higher brightness levels than LEDs, making them ideal for industrial lighting applications. Our laser projectors consume much less power than traditional projection systems, resulting in significant cost savings over time.
Our CAVILUX Lasers: The Future of Industrial Imaging
Our CAVILUX lasers are designed to meet the demanding requirements of various industrial and scientific applications. Some of the products in the CAVILUX range include:
- CAVILUX Smart: A versatile and powerful pulsed diode laser light source for high-speed and machine vision cameras in scientific and industrial R&D.
- CAVILUX HF: A high-performance pulsed diode laser light source suitable for high-speed cameras and an excellent tool for scientific and industrial R&D work.
- CAVILUX OEM: An optimal light source for machine vision systems, offering a compact and robust design for easy integration and demanding industrial applications.
Our laser illumination technology, particularly our CAVILUX lasers, offers numerous advantages over traditional lighting methods, making it the future of industrial imaging. With its high brightness, ability to see through heat, freezing fast motion capabilities, compact and robust design, and energy efficiency, our laser illumination technology is poised to revolutionize the industrial imaging landscape.
