Conversion-free lighting for line scan cameras

With the new line lighting with power LEDs, the entire system is designed for optimum illumination. „Monitoring the adhesive application with line scan cameras requires homogeneous and very bright illumination so that the quality of the adhesive application can be reliably recognised even at high machine speeds. Our new lighting guarantees this even at distances of up to 250 millimetres. It can therefore be mounted above the roller cheeks in our customers' folder gluers. This means that our new line lighting does not need to be readjusted or retooled when changing jobs. The set-up times previously required for this are no longer necessary. At the same time, the work of the machine operators is made much easier,“ says Thomas Walther, Head of Business Development at Baumer hhs.

The new lighting from Baumer hhs serves as a Replacement for mercury-containing UV tubes, which many folding carton manufacturers continue to use in the quality assurance of their adhesive application. Walther: „It is foreseeable that the exemption authorisation for the use of these controversial tubes contained in the RoHS Directive will not be extended for reasons of occupational safety. Consequently, folding carton manufacturers who currently still use UV tubes for quality control need a suitable alternative. We provide them with this with our new line lighting.“
