In industrial machine vision applications, lighting directly determines image quality. Stable, high-uniformity LED lighting is the foundational hardware for defect detection, dimensional measurement, character recognition, and alignment. KCS specializes in machine vision illumination, handling optical design, structural development, assembly, and aging testing in-house. We offer standard lighting products and custom development, paired with light controllers and vision inspection systems. We also distribute internationally recognized industrial cameras and lenses, delivering one-stop machine vision hardware procurement for customers worldwide.
Bar lights use a linear LED array with a wide range of length options. They can be used individually or combined in multi-bar setups, and can be configured with condenser lenses or diffusers for directional high-intensity or soft diffuse illumination.
Advantages: Flexible sizing, adjustable illumination angle, suitable for large-area and long-workpiece inspection; high brightness with excellent heat dissipation; available in red, green, blue, white, IR, and UV wavelengths; custom lengths supported.
Typical applications: Surface scratch detection on sheet materials, PCB circuit inspection, QR/barcode reading, injection molding burr detection, fabric defect inspection, and long-workpiece appearance inspection — often paired with line scan cameras.
Ring lights feature LEDs arranged in a circular array, available in low-, medium-, and high-angle optical configurations. With 360° surrounding illumination, they are the most widely used lighting category in industrial vision.
Advantages: Multi-angle illumination reduces shadows; suppresses certain reflection interference; full range of aperture sizes; diffused versions further improve uniformity for flat-part inspection.
Typical applications: Electronic component pin inspection, flat character and inkjet code recognition, bottle cap appearance inspection, mobile phone component scratch detection, and plastic part defect inspection.
Coaxial lights use a semi-transparent beam splitter to deliver light along the same optical axis as the camera lens. Light strikes the workpiece perpendicularly, and reflected light returns along the same path to the camera for imaging.
Advantages: Significantly reduces specular reflection interference; highlights micro-scratches, dirt, and pinholes on smooth surfaces; clean background with high contrast; ideal for highly reflective flat workpieces.
Typical applications: Glass cover scratch inspection, wafer surface defects, metal mirror part inspection, film contamination detection, and precision flat dimensional measurement.
back lights emit uniform light across a large flat surface and are commonly used as backlights. The workpiece is placed above the light source to produce sharp silhouettes for dimensional measurement and hole detection.
Advantages: High uniformity across the emitting surface; multiple emitting sizes available; diffuse output with no visible hotspots; 24V industrial voltage for stable operation; large-size custom backlight panels supported.
Typical applications: Part silhouette dimensional measurement, hole detection, transparent material impurity inspection, and component 外形 screening.
Line scan lights are high-brightness linear lights developed specifically for line scan cameras. With high-condenser optical design, they deliver a narrow, intense light strip for high-speed continuous scanning on production lines.
Advantages: Concentrated, high-illuminance light strip with reinforced heat dissipation for long-duration high-speed imaging; supports strobe triggering for high-speed motion inspection; customizable light strip width and length.
Typical applications: Online continuous defect detection for films, paper, steel, glass, lithium battery electrode sheets, and textile fabrics.
KCS designs and manufactures analog, digital, and strobe light controllers.
Multi-channel output with PWM stepless dimming
