UV3 / VL3 Series

Expanded lineup with higher output than the conventional UV series and UV2 series.
・Line, ring, bar and spot types
・Available wavelengths: 365 nm, 385 nm, 395nm and 405 nm*1.
・Two types of directivity: wide types to illuminate a wide area and narrow types for convergent illumination on a narrow area*2.
・Maximum 2 times higher output than conventional UV2 series. Overdrive available to increase inspection speed.
・For various inspection applications such as fluorescence observation, coating inspection, and defect detection.

*1 385/395/405 nm models are made to order.
*2 Ring type (LDR2), bar type (LDL), and high power line type (LNSP-FN) are available in two directivity types (wide and narrow).

Comparison of imaging at 1ms shutter speed

  • Example of imaging with UV2*2

    Example of imaging with UV2

    A lack of brightness makes it difficult to perform fluorescence observation for special inks.
    *2 Continuous lighting

  • Example of imaging with UV3*3

    Example of imaging with UV3<

    Enables fluorescence observation for special inks even with faster shutter speed.

Cautionary information regarding UV products

UV blocking eye wear

  • Do not expose your eyes or skin to direct UV irradiation.
  • When using UV illumination, be sure to wear UV blocking eye wear and avoid looking at irradiating parts (emitting parts).
  • Do not turn on UV-LED irradiating parts (emitting parts) if they are facing someone's eyes.
  • Wear long sleeves and gloves to protect your skin from UV irradiation.
  • Thoroughly educate all those involved near the product about the dangers of UV LEDs.

Applications

Imaging Example

Imaging adhesive on an imaging sensor substrate

Workpiece image

White LED lighting
(LDR2-90-30SW2)

It is difficult to capture the adhesive with white LED lighting.

LDR2-100UV3-365-W
(LDR2-100UV3-365-W)

With UV light, the adhesive can be observed because of emitted fluorescent light.

Imaging of grease applied on a gear part

Workpiece image

White LED lighting
(LDR2-90SW2)

With white light, it is difficult to capture the application of the grease on uneven surface..

LDR2-100UV3-365-W
(LDL-138X12UV3-365-W)

With UV light, the application of the grease can be observed because of emitted fluorescent light.
