This month, we’re highlighting the most underrated building blocks of machine vision: illumination, lenses, and optical filters. Discover how the right optical components dramatically improve contrast, accuracy, and overall system robustness—often without changing your camera or software.
Blog - The Importance of Illumination for Machine Vision
Lighting, lenses, and filters are the foundation of robust machine vision systems—ensuring contrast, clarity, and long-term inspection reliability.
Machine Vision Illumination for reliable homogeneous lighting
Machine vision illumination is the foundation of any reliable inspection system — yet it’s often overlooked until performance issues arise. Advanced Illumination delivers a comprehensive range of LED lighting engineered specifically for vision applications, enabling consistent contrast and image quality across different materials and surfaces, essential for robust automation.
High-performance optics are the “eyes” of any vision system — ensuring sharp, accurate imaging from the sensor. Computar combines decades of optical engineering with a broad portfolio designed for industrial inspection, automation, robotics, and more.
Optical filters help control the light reaching the sensor, improving contrast, color fidelity, and system repeatability — often a cost-effective way to fix persistent lighting challenges. MidOpt offers an extensive catalog of precision filters designed for industrial vision use.
