Ensuring Your Success in Machine Vision Lighting Applications

                                                                                                                       

A large part of the success of any machine vision application depends on the efficacy of machine vision lighting. Inadequate illumination or contrast can mar inspection or measurement operations. This not only increases process time, but also ultimately translates into increased expenses. To resolve common problems such as these, Fiberoptics Technology Incorporated (FTI), offers Backlights that feature exceptional uniformity and a glass bundle that can withstand high energy and/or heat at the input. At FTI our mission is to contribute to the success of your machine vision applications.
As the light guide is made from glass fibers, it does not pose the risk of melting when coupled to high output Pulsed Xenon strobes, a common application in high speed Machine Vision lighting applications. We do not use plastic fiber inputs simply because they could melt when coupled to powerful strobes.

Here are some other notable features of our standard products for machine vision lighting:

• FTI uses a proprietary process for intense uniform output. This allows for better consistency and optimal performance.

• Our backlights are compatible for use with all strobe lights that are currently available in the market.

• Our standard bundle length of 36” fits most applications, but can be customized on request.

• All-aluminum, black anodized body comprises fixture holes to enable easy mounting.

We also welcome custom requests for active areas, configurations, input sizes, and housing. FTI’s experience with numerous machine vision lighting applications worldwide has left us with a rich knowledge base that we can use to your benefit. As one of the largest fiber optic cable manufacturers in the world we offer design, engineering, prototyping, and volume production services.

Star Ceilings: A Result of FTI’s Expertise in Fiber Optics

In the context of residential and commercial spaces, lighting and aesthetics go hand-in-hand. Fiber optic lighting finds many takers in the decorative lighting market today, and a popular case in point would be the star ceilings. This lighting concept enables you to create the illusion of a beautiful starlit sky on your ceiling.

Fiberoptics Technology Incorporated (FTI) is regarded as a leading source of star ceilings components. FTI offers a hybrid system combining the convenience of a star ceiling installation kit, with the versatility of a custom installation. Ever since we introduced this service, hundreds of architects, contractors, designers and general electric installers have integrated the star ceiling into their projects with great success. 

Our expertise in fiber optics has been the driving force behind this unique service offering. The basic set-up comprises hundreds of tiny yet bright plastic fibers in varying diameters, and a light source. Individual fiber strands are fixed in hundreds of tiny holes drilled into the ceiling. A single light source (LED, quartz halogen or HID) is enough to light up several end emitting points.

The result is dreamlike—your entire ceiling comes alive with little shimmering specks of light. FTI’s star ceilings can be found at several home theaters, pool houses, commercial theaters, restaurants, night clubs, hotels, casinos, award shows, concerts, spas, hospices, and cancer treatment centers across the United States. 

We also offer an expansive range of fiber optic lighting products for military, medical, industrial, machine vision lighting and several other commercial lighting applications. With regard to our star ceilings, customers also have the option of adding optional effects such as the Twinkling Star, Shooting Star or the Galaxy Effect.
