LIGHT-TO-FREQUENCY (LTF) from Texas Advanced Optoelectronic Solutions (TAOS), Inc.

The LTF sensor performs the functions of light sensing, signal conditioning, and A/D conversion in a single monolithic IC. The LTF device converts light intensity to a digital format for a direct interface to a microcontroller. (read more)

Banner Engineering Corp. introduces PresencePLUS® sealed linear array lights, which provide high-intensity lighting of large areas or objects at long distances with vivid, maintenance-free LED illumination. These high-power, solid-state arrays are housed in a durable, waterproof, IP68-rated housing, making them a superior lighting option for washdown environments. (read more)

The TSL2561 Light-to-Digital Converter from TAOS combines a broadband photodiode (350 nm to 1100 nm) with a visible light blocking photodiode to approximate a human eye response. With integrated analog-to-digital conversion circuitry, data is output via a serial interface using I2C standard protocol. (read more)

Banner Engineering Corp. introduces on-axis lights to its extensive line of lighting accessories for challenging vision sensing applications. On-axis lights provide optimal illumination of an inspected part by delivering collimated illumination in the same optical path as camera. These lights provide even, diffused illumination of flat, reflective surfaces perpendicular to the camera. (read more)

Fiber optic components protect photoelectric sensors from heat and harsh environments and facilitates their use in space-restrictive areas. They also isolate vibration, keeping the sensor stable in continuous motion applications. Because fiber optic components can be shaped to match the profile of the object being sensed, they help improve the accuracy of photoelectric control. (read more)

The TSL257 is a high-sensitivity low-noise light-to-voltage optical converter with a voltage output combining a photodiode and a transimpedance amplifier on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. The output voltage is directly proportional to light intensity (irradiance) on the photodiode. (read more)

Whether you want to create impressive architectural lighting or effects for stage performances, the new LED RGB Light sources from FTI allow you to set the color, intensity, on/off duration or create and load a custom program (read more)

The Keyence VK-9700 offers advantages over SEMs, roughness meters and optical microscopes for observation as well as shape/surface analysis. Specimen cutting/processing is not required, the depth of field is large and 3D measurement is possible. Pre-processing, such as sputter-coating, is unnecessary. Large specimens can be examined and profile measurement can be performed. (read more)
