Flicker vs. Constant Light: The Optimal Solution for Light Sources in Visual Inspection Equipment

The light source is an important component of visual inspection equipment, forming the machine's "eyes" together with the camera. Currently, the main light emission methods are divided into two types: constant light and flickering.Strobe light source: Like a camera flash, it only illuminates briefly when an image needs to be captured.Constant light source: like the lights in a house, it remains constantly lit.Keye Technology's equipment uses strobe LED light sources, which have the following advantages:Energy saving and consumption reduction: The light source is lit only during the moment of detection and capture, and there is zero power consumption during non-working periods, which greatly reduces the overall operating cost of the equipment and saves more electricity;Longer lifespan: The lifespan of LED beads is directly related to the duration of use. Flicker mode can effectively reduce the working time of the beads and extend the lifespan of the light source.High stability: Keye Technology's self-developed spherical light, disc light, ring light, and integrating cavity light sources all adopt the LED lamp bead flickering light emission method, which effectively prevents shutdown or damage caused by overheating of the light source, adapts to high-speed production lines, and ensures continuous and stable operation.Choosing the right light source is like choosing the right "eagle eye" for your equipment!
