SICK Vision Illuminations

Product portfolio description

SICK Vision illumination

SICK offers a wide range of lights to support each Machine Vision solution
Light is used to illuminate an object in a proper way. All the necessary types of lights are found in
the expanded SICK illumination portfolio. The lights are available in different colours and sizes:
Direct front lights: ring light, square ring light, bar light, spot light
Indirect front lights: low angle light, dark field light
Coaxial lights: On axis light, flat dome light
Back light
The lights can be strobed and can be connected to the camera through a standard
M12 industrial connector.

Direct front lights

Ring light

Square ring light

Ring light in a robust circular housing with LEDs

arranged in an umbrella shaped configuration.

A ring light in a robust square shaped housing, ideal

to solve a wide variety of vision applications.

The ring light can be used for applications to detect

and verify a label, date/LOT code inspection and for
orientation of a product.
Thanks to the umbrella shape of the LEDs a bright
concentration of light is created at the center of the
illumination area.
With ICL and VLR ring lights the working distance can
be up to 300 mm and field of view up to 250 mm in
diameter.

Square ring lights are ideal for applications that

require cost effective illumination of non-reflecive
surfaces. For instance verify bottle features, printed
labels and orientation of a product.

Typical ring light setup.

Due to the vertical mounted high density LEDs the

distribution of light is very bright and direct.

Typical square ring light setup.

Direct front lights

Bar light

Spot light

Bar lights are lights where a large number of LEDs

are positioned in a square rectangle pointing
vertically.

The VLR- and ICL spot lights are high intensity LED
spot lights that can illuminate objects from long
working distances up to 2 m.

Bar lights are very flexible and can be used to solve

various vision applications, depending on where the
light is positioned. Because of their design they can
be used to illuminate objects directly or from various
angles. Typical dark field applications can be solved
with a low angle position. By using a diffuser they can
also solve some back light applications.

The spot light can be used in various applications

such as surface control, detection, inspection, reading
as well as positioning of objects.
The VLR-XXPL is sold as a kit including:
LED spot light

matching power supply unit with intensity control
5 m connection cable

VLR-XXPL come in four standard colours: white, red,
green and blue. The light source and connection cable
is IP67.

Indirect front lights

Low angle light

Dark field light

A low angle ring light is a ring light where the LEDs

are pointing inwards in a low angle. The low angle ring
light is a good supplement to a normal dark field light.

A dark field light is a ring light where the LED beam

angle is 90 to the optical axis.

Typical applications are detecting edges and

scratches on surfaces. Finding structure on glossy
materials is another application that can be solved
with a low angle ring light.
A close working distance to the object is characteristic
for a low angle ring light.

Typical low angle light setup.

The single row LED dark field light is perfectly suited

for small height variations, for example inspection
of edges, defects or scratches on surfaces, typically
wafers.
The dark field light has an extremely compact design
with a housing height of less than 10 mm. Its most
efficient operating distance is up to 10 mm.

Typical dark field light setup.

Coaxial lights

On axis light

Flat dome light

On axis light provides light in coaxial alignment with

the camera lens. Thanks to the semi transparent
mirror that reflects the light from LEDs to the object
it gives bright even illumination across the entire
field of view.

The flat dome light is a combination of a dome light

and a coaxial light in a compact and space saving
shape. Thanks to its unique dot pattern on the light
diffuser surface, the light is transmitted in a uniform
shadowless shape to the object.

It is perfect suited for inspecting mirror finish work

such as detecting scratches or details in surfaces.
It is perfect when inspecting glossy materials, surface
conditions and presence/absence of different shapes.

It is perfect when inspecting glossy materials, surface

conditions and presence/absence of different shapes.

Depending on the working distance it can act as a

coaxial light or a dome light.

Back lights/Trigger unit

Back light

VLR Trigger unit

SICK back lights provides a highly uniform light over

its entire illuminated surface.

VLR Trigger unit is the link between your VLR light

and your SICK camera.

Its robust design and slim housing makes it ideal for

sillhouette inspections and shape control. Thanks to
the great size (up to 180x180 mm illuminated area)
large objects can be inspected.

By using the Trigger unit you can control and adjust

your VLR light to get the right light condition for your
application.

The back lights are equipped with enhanced edge

intensity to compensate for lens characteristics
(vignetting).

With the VLR Trigger unit you are able to strobe the
VLR lights which reduces heat and saves LED lifetime
as well as maintaining the light intensity on a high
level.

Typical back light setup.
