Overview

About the AI-BL2-W

The BL2 Series is a high intensity back-lit backlight for creating high-contrast object silhouettes and for imaging through semi-translucent materials. Precisely spaced 1 in by 1 in LED arrays sit behind the emitting window, which holds uniform output across the active area whatever size is ordered.

Emitting areas run from 59.9 mm by 53.1 mm up to 1202.9 mm by 1196.1 mm at 24.1 mm high, and the extrusion-based aluminium housing scales in two dimensions, so a large part is covered without a custom design. M6 mounting channels on all four sides allow the light to be fixed and adjusted from whichever edge the frame reaches.

High power industrial grade LEDs run strobed or continuous with white light lumen maintenance of L70 at 50,000 hours, keeping measured edges consistent over time. A 12 in by 12 in unit weighs around 2204 g. The BL2 range covers white, 470 nm, 530 nm, 625 nm and 850 nm with collimation or polarizer conditioning, and suits edge detection, part location and orientation, presence and absence, hole detection and gauging.
