Luminus' LEDs Displace Lasers in Machine Vision Application

Devices, Inc. Big Chip LED technology has been selected by Smart Vision Lights for their new product line of illumination sources. Luminus' SST-90 LED is at the heart of Smart Vision Lights' SP30 Series LED structured light pattern projector for the machine vision industry.
When compared to laser based pattern projectors, Luminus' LEDs enable higher resolution lines with sharper edges and more uniform illumination -- and without laser speckle artifacts.
"Luminus has an established track record of displacing traditional high power illumination sources with its Big Chip LED technology," said Chuck DeMilo, Global Director of Product Marketing at Luminus. "In general lighting and entertainment lighting we are enabling the conversion from metal halide to LED. In projection display we are displacing UHP mercury sources. Now in machine vision we are seeing success in converting laser based systems to LED."
