Intelligent Illumination for high precision applications

Why use high precision, intelligent Lighting?

Why use high precision, intelligent Lighting?

Intelligent lighting provides highly precise control of illumination and intensity levels, ideal for applications which demand minimal variance in illumination levels over time, for example in Glass, Semiconductor, Pharmaceutical and Microscopy sectors.

At the heart of FASTUS lighting is FALUX and FALUX Sensing - unique, patented technology which guarantees the essential factors of high performance lighting systems for Machine Vision.

  • Optimum Uniformity
  • Precise Accuracy & stability
  • Consistent Intensity over time

Performance of FASTUS lighting

FALUX

Built-in FALUX circuit to correct variations in brightness

Using constant current circuitry dependent on the input voltage, variations in the forward current of individual LEDs are corrected for uniform brightness. Meanwhile, the temperature compensation circuit compensates for fluctuations in brightness due to increases in operational or ambient temperature.

The brightness of each LED is fixed, virtually eliminating variations in brightness following increases in temperature. Whether with continuous illumination or ON/OFF control, brightness remains fixed.

FALUX sensing

Equipped with FALUX Sensing for monitoring light brightness and temperature

LED brightness sensing is performed using multiple built-in photodiodes. This allows for accurate measurement of LED brightness not only during continuous illumination but also with short period illumination.

FALUX Sensing also makes it possible to measure both the LED brightness of lighting and the internal temperature, and then to monitor those measurements on the power supply side. Based on the monitored values, feedback control can also be performed from the OPPF Series controller, making it possible to maintain the factory default brightness for around 40,000 hours.

Industry 4.0 Light data for predictive maintenance and OEE

Brightness can be monitored using the built-in photodiodes by connecting an OPPF-48 Series LED lighting controller. This allows for accurate measurement of LED brightness even with short period illumination. Monitoring of internal temperatures is also possible.
