Strobe vs. Constant Brightness: The Optimal Solution for Light Sources in Visual Inspection Machines.
Date:2026-02-08 Views:93
The light source is an important component of visual inspection machine, which together with the camera forms the "eyes" of the machine. Currently, the mainstream lighting methods are divided into two types: constant brightness and strobe:
Strobe light source: Like a camera flash, it only lights up instantly when an image needs to be captured.
Constant light source: Like a household lighting fixture, it remains lit continuously.
KeyeTech's equipment uses strobe LED light sources, which have the following advantages:
Energy saving and consumption reducing: Only light up the light source at the moment of detection and capture, zero power consumption during non working hours, significantly reducing the overall operating cost of the equipment and saving more electricity;
Longer lifespan: The lifespan of LED chips is directly related to their usage time. In strobe mode, it can effectively reduce the working time of the chips and extend the lifespan of the light source;
Strong stability: KeyeTech's self-developed ball light, disc light, ring light, integral cavity light sources, etc. all use LED bead flicker to effectively prevent downtime or damage caused by overheating of the light source, adapt to high-speed production lines, and operate continuously and stably.
Choosing the right light source is like choosing the right device's "sharp eyes"!
