Getting the lighting right is as important as choosing the right sensor, camera, and interface, in terms of machine vision success. Most all lights are \u201cpre-configured\u201d to a specific lighting geometry as well as wavelengths.  Lighting is still tricky and in most cases, testing is needed with various configurations. If your samples are small in size and don’t require special handling or equipment, your imaging partner may offer a lighting lab in which they can test your samples to optimize lighting configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But shipping samples and re-creating your conditions in a partner’s lab isn’t always practical, and you may want to do your own testing and configuration, taking advantage of your domain expertise and home-field advantage. With EFFI Flex2 lights, the standard components and range of settings yield 36 configurations in 1 light! How so? Each unit comes with 3 diffuser windows x 4 lens positions x 3 electronic modes = 36 configurations. Optional additional accessories, like polarizers, take the calculation to more than 100 configurations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EFFI Flex2 LED modular bar lights<\/a> are configurable to a wide range of applications.  The user can adapt the optics, the electronics, and the mechanics, thanks to the engineering design.  Perhaps you\u2019ll embed the unit in a \u201cforever\u201d deployment mode, never again re-configuring a specific unit once you lock down the optimal settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe you’ll adapt your light again to repurpose it in another application. With the long service life of LED lights, the light may well outlive the application. Or maybe you do multiple applications, and want a light that’s so versatile you can do all your testing in house, letting the lighting drive the final choice of sensor and camera model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with the first generation EFFI-Flex product<\/a>, EFFI-Flex2 series is designed to provide easy adaptation of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
