On the Spot
Built for extreme environments, IP69K certified lights are specifically engineered to withstand everything from prolonged liquid immersion to high-pressure steam cleaning and corrosive washdown solutions.
Advanced Illumination, a long-time partner of Olching-based machine vision company Rauscher, has introduced the SL316 universal, high-intensity spot illumination. Its IP69K design makes this illumination particularly suitable for applications with high demands on robustness.
The development of the SL316 was designed to ensure its proper function even after prolonged immersion in liquids, frequent high-pressure steam cleaning and after the use of corrosive cleaning solutions without compromising on the need for an additional protective housing.
The SL316 is an addition to Advanced Illumination’s Ultraseal Washdown series and delivers consistent intensity of over 150 klx at 300 mm working distance in continuous operation. The spot illumination is available in a variety of narrow, medium, and wide beam angles, as well as a lens-free, high-diffusion configuration, and can be configured in eleven different wavelength options from visible to infrared wavelengths. In terms of control, users also have numerous options to flexibly adapt the spot illumination to their specific requirements: The lighting solution can be operated in four modes: continuous, triggered, pulsed and adaptive pulsed, as well as with dimming options for brightness control.
Due to its robust and hygienic design, the IP69K spot illumination available from Rauscher is optimally suited for application fields such as the food and beverage industry, hygienic inspection environments as well as aseptic manufacturing processes in which the image processing components used are exposed to frequent cleaning processes with sometimes aggressive agents.
