IIluminators for industrial vision systems: features of VEA solutions

The technology that makes the difference

  • Thickness of each module only 12.5 mm
  • Very light (from 37 g), it can be mounted directly on robotic arms.
  • Self-supporting: does not require external brackets, mounts between the lens and the camera.
  • Designed to withstand vibrations over 10 G.
  • Powerful homogeneous light beam thanks to FDC-LED technology and PC correction lens without the use of diffusers that reduce brightness.
  • Stabilizing electronics integrated in the illuminator.
  • Complies with the latest ISO and EN machine directives.

The reasons for our technology

  • Why is the structure made of plastic?
    The oversized surface graphene/carbon polymers allow to dissipate the heat of the LEDs in an excellent way, they are light, resistant and comply with machine regulations.
  • Why do they have control electronics inside?
    To make the brightness constant even if the input voltage varies or the LEDs become hot. They also do not need external controllers.
  • Why do you use FDC-LED technology?
    For more brightness, longer life of the LEDs and more uniform light.

Graphene/carbon polymer structure

The graphene/carbon plastic polymer is a thermally conductive compound that allows a controlled dissipation especially in natural convection regime exploiting the anisotropic behaviour of the material. The realization with FDM technology (Fused Deposition Modeling) allows to design the structure of the illuminator in order to optimize the dissipation through increased surfaces and convention channels. The use of graphene and carbon is justified by their very high thermal conductivity which can reach 5000 W/mK for graphene and 2000 W/mK for carbon. Definitely high when compared to copper (390 W/mK) or aluminium (200 W/mK).

Integrated electronics in the illuminator

  • Constant lighting regardless of input voltage which can vary between 12 and 24V.
  • Available with different types of electronics included in the structure of the illuminator.
  • Strobe electronics with high speed and power driver for cameras with acquisition times of less than 1/100,000 sec.
  • Standard M8 industrial connector used in common industrial sensors.
  • high-frequency piloting

    Complies with the guidelines for automation systems

    The LEC-C series is a recent project that takes into account the current guidelines for illuminators installed on automation systems.

    • EN 62471:2008 (photo biological risk)
      The luminous intensity of the LEC-C series has been designed to comply with this directive.
    • ISO 13732-1:2009 (Machinery Directive on operator thermal risk)
      This standard provides a maximum temperature threshold for contact times of less than 1 minute of 51° for metal and 60° for plastics
      The choice to use a graphene plastic polymer allows to fall within this standard even with an ambient temperature of 35°.
    • ISO 15066:2016 (collaborative robots)
      The shape with rounded edges and the plastic material make these illuminators suitable for installation on collaborative robot arms.

    FDC-LED: Full Dissipated LED Chip

    The latest FDC-LED technology ensures complete heat dissipation in every direction.
    The multiple LED chips are connected to each other to form a single unit and incorporated completely in heat dissipating material.
    The classic double soldering of the classic SMD led (chip on metal and metal on printed circuit board) is replaced by direct soldering of the chip on the printed circuit board, thus eliminating a thermal bridge.
    Moreover, all the chip is drowned in a transparent conductive gel of generous size that allows a good heat dissipation even on the illuminated side, unlike the classic LED with small plastic cap.
    The LEDs have a higher light output because a better thermal dispersion is guaranteed.
    In addition, a great uniformity of illumination is obtained due to the total coverage of phosphorus over the entire module, the presence of the single light chip is difficult to recognize.
    Lowering the temperature of the LED junction extends the life of the component.
