New Product: BL2 High Intensity Back-lit Backlights

Advanced illumination, the originator of LED lighting for machine vision inspection, is proud to announce the release of its High Intensity Back-lit Backlights, a new and improved take on Ai’s established BL series. The BL2 Backlights provide roughly twice the brightness as their predecessor, making them ideal for high throughput inspections.

Rochester, VT - Advanced illumination, the originator of LED lighting for machine vision inspection, is proud to announce the release of its High Intensity Back-lit Backlights, a new and improved take on Ai's established BL series. The BL2 Backlights provide roughly twice the brightness as their predecessor, making them ideal for high throughput inspections.


NEW BL2 High Intensity Back-lit Backlights
"It's not uncommon for Industrial Manufacturers to look at ways of increasing inspection speeds," says Joe Smith, General Manager of Advanced illumination. "By re-engineering our popular BL Backlights, our new BL2 Series will allow manufacturers to increase production throughput using the added brightness of our revised design."

Advanced illumination's BL2 Backlights not only provide improvements in intensity but also increases in emitting window uniformity, greater structural rigidity, and better thermal efficiency, all for the same cost as Ai's original BL Series.

The High Intensity Back-lit Backlights are pre-engineered for scalability, expandable in 1" increments up to 46" in length or width. The Backlights also feature two light conditioning options including collimation and polarization. The BL2 can be operated in continuous or overdrive strobe modes, depending on the chosen control configuration.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
