Dome-type LED light sources evenly illuminate object surfaces by reflecting on the dome inbound light fibres arranged at 360-degree angles along the lower section of the dome.

Moritex has announced a new line of dome-type LED light sources designed to evenly illuminate object surfaces by reflecting on the dome inbound light fibres arranged at 360-degree angles along the lower section of the dome.

Based on Moritex's proprietary MG-Wave constant current technology the new dome LEDs provide unmatched even illumination improving inspection of curved metal surfaces as well as printed surfaces such as the bottom of aluminium cans.

Two different sise of MG-Wave dome LEDs are available, each in four different wavelengths: red, green, blue and white.

Moritex's MG-Wave LED lighting includes a range of unique technical features.

Specified colours of light emitting diodes are arranged in a high-density package to provide long-life, compact, lightweight and efficient lighting for image processing and inspection applications.

MG-Wave LED lighting provides longer stable images than other forms of lighting.

Unlike other forms of lighting there is no deterioration caused by repeatedly switching the light on and off.

Operating across a narrow bandwidth MG-Wave makes it easy to acquire the contrast critical for image processing.

Incorporating small light source elements enables MG-Wave to deliver lighting dimensions optimised to application.

Incorporated in the LED light the MG-Wave constant current detection system reads the signal to control the rated current that is adjusted to the number of LEDs in every lighting module.

Consequently MG-Wave has the flexibility to offer its industry leading performance for any type of lighting configuration.

The MG-Wave range also includes high powered spot, direct ring, low angle ring, shadowless, edge backlit, array backlit, coaxial, bar, linear, oblique and parallel lighting LEDs as well as power sources and a wide variety of LED lighting accessories.
