Lighting

Lighting is often the difference between a demo and a line that runs.

Backlights, ring lights, bar lights, dome/panel lights and strobe: each suited to different surfaces, speeds and defects. Sedeco designs lighting into the camera stack.

Industrial inspection lighting

Types that decide image quality

Pick geometry for the surface, not for the brochure photo

Good lighting shows what matters, before any software runs. Ring lights sit around the lens. On Hikrobot that is two families, not one: MV-LRDS when you set angle and colour, MV-LRSS when you only pick a white diameter.

TypeWhat it doesWhen we reach for it
BacklightSilhouette, presence, edge gaugingOpaque parts, clear outlines
Ring · MV-LRDSCamera looks through the ring. Diameter 45–230 mm, emission 0–90°, blue / red / whiteCodes, general inspection, when angle or colour has to change
Ring · MV-LRSSSame through-the-ring geometry, white only, diameter only. Six sizes including 250 and 300 mmA simple white ring, or a diameter larger than LRDS
Bar / directionalDirection and shadow for textureScratches, emboss, topography cues
Dome / panel (diffuse)Soft, even light on shiny partsSpecular metal, curved packaging
StrobeFreeze motion at taktHigh-speed lines, conveyors

Show us the surface and the speed

We propose lighting geometry with camera and lens, so Detect starts with a usable image.
