If you have space issues with using a dome – in other words, you do not have enough room between the camera and the part, CCS has created flat dome lights that accomplish a similar result as their larger counterpart. This thin, flat light is placed directly between the part and your camera. The camera can focus through the dome lighting material so that you can see the part. [click] Notice that the dead spot is eliminated when using the flat dome. Now that you have an idea of the various lighting sources, we’ll review several lighting techniques and how to use them. Here’s an application where we want to enhance the date code on a jar lid but we want to negate the other printed lettering. Since we’re interested in the red print and we want to get rid of the blue print, then we could use a blue light. Notice how the blue kind of blends away into the background while that red print really stands out crisply. Now you can use an OCV or OCR vision tool very easily.

So here’s an image where you see an avocado in normal ambient light that looks perfectly good but if you put an IR light on it, notice how there’s a bruise there. Now anytime you’re using infrared or ultraviolet light, you really should use a filter on your camera. This allows for you to make sure that you’re only looking at the light or rather what is being fluoresced from the light and not the light itself because that can sometimes throw off your application. Now that you have an idea of the various lighting sources, we’ll review several lighting techniques and how to use them. So let’s have you try some things. So as we look at this image, note that we have red print and then we have this blue vertical print on the right of the container. So what color light would you use in order to enhance that blue print and get rid of the red. Once again, we’re taking a look at the picture where we have the red ink and then we h
