FPQ3 Series

* Low-angle Light Units perfect for square workpieces:
detecting the outline of corners and preventing glare.
* Achieved high output up to double that of conventional products.
* 8 sizes and a total of 24 models.
* Installation holes on the top and lateral surfaces increase installation flexibility.

Features

High-Output (2x Conventional Products)

Output has been increased by 2x for white and blue, 1.5x for red Light Units.
Furthermore, output is more than doubled when used with a POD-series Strobe Overdrive Control Unit.

Expanded Line with 8 Sizes and a Total of 24 Models

External sizes of 60 × 60 mm and 50 × 100 mm (rectangular type) are supported.

The outer dimensions are not changed for the products of the same size as the conventional products.

Perfect for Square Workpieces

Light from the LEDs installed above is transmitted through the light-guiding diffusion plate and diffused light is illuminated from four directions on the workpiece from a low angle.
This is perfect for square workpieces.

High-Flexibility in Installation

Newly added installation holes on the lateral surfaces of all models increase installation flexibility.

The products of the same size of the conventional products can be installed with the same holes.

Imaging Example

Imaging Examples for the FPQ3-100X50 Light Unit

Illumination from a low angle clearly highlights the outline of workpieces.

Conceptual Image for Illumination

With uniform and diffused light at a low angle from four directions of the workpiece, the corners stand out.

FPQ2-120SW The connector pins are not clearly imaged because the distance between the emitting surface and the workpiece is large. Also, the whole surface of the workpiece is not uniformly illuminated. -------FPQ3-100X50SW The connector pins are clearly imaged because the distance between the emitting surface and the workpiece is short. Also, the whole surface of the workpiece is uniformly illuminated.(image)

Custom Order Example

Custom Ordered Products and Computational Imaging

Full-color (RGB) Type

Full-color (RGB) Type(image)

Controls red, blue, and green light to create the color you want
with just one Light Unit.
If there are workpieces with different colors but the same shape, or if there are different types of products on the same assembly line, you were required to set up the Light Units of different LED colors to detect the features. Full-color type Light Unit emits and controls red, blue, and green light with a single unit. This enables you to take the best image to meet your needs.

Segmented Illumination Type

Segmented Illumination Type(image)

The segmented emitting surfaces strobe separately
to image the peculiarity of the workpiece.
The emitting surface is divided into four segments, which correspond to the four sides of the unit and are separately controlled. This enables the optimum illumination to select the target surface and to fit with the shape of the workpiece. You can select the brightness, strobing ON/OFF, and the timing for each segment and image the peculiarity of the workpiece.

Options

Optional Reflection Plates (Sold Separately)

Installing the reflection plate on the Light Unit enhances the dome effect, which enables highly-uniform and diffused illumination.
