Illumination has proven to be one of the most important components when designing a successful imaging system. Navitar thoroughly understands that the correct lighting can only enhance the performance of our industry leading vision systems. This is why we are so excited to introduce custom designed and integrated LED based illumination components for all of our vision systems. The addition of our LED based products truly allows us to provide our customers with Complete Optical Solutions (“COPS”) for all their imaging needs.
Two LED based products are available from Navitar: BrightLight coaxial illuminators and Ring Light illuminators. Designed to match the optical performance of our vision systems, each illumination system was created to work with a specific system, such as Navitar’s Zoom 6000, 12X Zoom or Precise Eye system. Each lighting component incorporates the correct number of individual LEDs, placed in the optimal optical position, to provide powerful, even illumination across a given field of view. |

Benefits of Navitar LED-Based Illumination
All of our new LED systems provide a number of benefits over traditional fiber based illumination systems:
· Longer life.
· Minimum power loss.
· Narrow wavelength band (red), constant color temperature (white).
· Small packaging with optimal heat management.
· No fan vibration.
· Lower cost. |

BrightLight LED Coaxial Illuminators
High Brightness, Long Life, Optimal Image Contrast
- Energy efficient, long-life design decreases production line down time.
- Compact and robust design eliminates the vibration normally associated with fiber optic Halogen light sources.
- RS-232 and USB computer controlled.
- National Instruments/LabVIEW TM VI or Windows interface.
- External knob regulates the intensity in fine increments.
- Black anodized enclosure for stand alone use.

Innovative Illumination
Designed and manufactured by Navitar, the BrightLight co-axial illuminator is used to view highly reflective objects which require an even distribution of light without hot spots. The thermal design insures maximum life and a consistent output. The BrightLight LED co-axial illuminator is for use with Navitar's Zoom 6000, 12X and Precise Eye systems. Available in either red or white and with a life span measured in years, these illuminators are the perfect source for powerful, uninterrupted, worry-free operation.
Control Options
Control of the BrightLight could not be easier. Navitar has developed two user-friendly Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controllers, an analog (manual control) and a digital (manual and computer control).
Manual Analog Control: A simple control knob regulates the pulse width (intensity) in continuous mode The driver is supplied in a black anodized enclosure. Simply plug the power supply and BrightLight into the driver box, turn on the driver and adjust the dimmer.
Digital Control: Designed for maximum flexibility, the digital BrightLight controller is available in either board level or enclosed similar to the analog model. In addition to manual control, the digital model also offers computer control via RS-232 or USB. Software is available to download for free.
Required accessories include a power supply, either domestic (120 VAC, 60Hz) or international (90-264 VAC,47-63Hz), and either a USB or RS-232 communication cable.
LED Ring Light Illuminators
High Brightness, Long Life, and Optimal Image Contrast
Our ring lights were designed with careful consideration for the standard working distances that most of our customers use. The components are low profile and provide bright, even illumination to compliment the performance of your vision system.
Used on the Zoom 6000, 12X Zoom or Precise Eye, Navitar’s Ring Lights are specifically designed to function at specific working distances. They are available in white and red with Fresnel attachments of 50 mm, 100 mm, and 150 mm working distances. The dimmer is a simple analog voltage type with a universal power supply.
