ProPhotonix unveils UVC LED Line light for machine vision
Exaktera group firm ProPhotonix Ltd of Salem, NH, USA, a designer and manufacturer of diode-based laser modules and LED systems for OEMs and medical equipment companies (as well as a distributor of laser diodes for Ushio, Osram, QSI, Panasonic and Sony), has launched the COBRA Slim UVC LED Line light. Engineered to enable new applications in machine vision, it is on display in booth 10E59 at Vision 2024 in Stuttgart, Germany (8-10 October).
Harnessing the latest in UVC LED technology and built on the COBRA Slim platform, COBRA Slim UVC delivers up to 61mW/cm2 of highly uniform light at the optimum UVC wavelength for the application.
Available in UVC wavelengths 265nm and 275nm as well as UVB wavelength 310nm, the COBRA Slim UVC has been engineered to perform across a wide range of applications including surface inspection, pharmaceutical and medical package inspection, textile and fabric inspection, food and beverage inspection, currency and document verification, sterilization and disinfection.
COBRA Slim UVC utilizes the COBRA Slim platform to deliver high brightness and uniformity. Designed with integration and flexibility in mind, the platform’s slim and compact design allows for easy incorporation into tight spaces without sacrificing output. Available in both convection and fan-cooled variants, it is modular and available in any length up to 6m. COBRA Slim’s unique design allows for the lens to be adjusted in the field to the ideal focusing distance for the application. The platform has an optional strobing function that can deliver increased intensity. Ethernet control is also available as an option.
“With the launch of the new COBRA Slim UVC, engineers will have the opportunity to develop new machine vision lighting systems, enabling new inspections,” says Simon Stanley, director of technology. “The latest in UVC technology, coupled with the high-performance COBRA Slim platform, will provide a valuable tool for system designers.”
