Basler Lighting

High-quality and carefully selected lighting equipment supports you in the simple setup of a powerful vision system. Basler Lighting offers an easy lighting approach for industrial cameras, which greatly reduces the time and the costs regarding the implementation of light sources. The entire process, from the selection of the lights to the installation, is made simpler and shorter by the Basler SLP feature, a feature that enables direct communication between camera and light using a protocol developed by Basler. It allows easy synchronization between camera and lighting, gives non-expert users easy access to the popular strobing operation and simplifies the setup for vision applications.

Furthermore, it reduces the necessary components of a vision system to a minimum and enables control by only one single software package, the pylon Camera Software Suite. The customer saves material costs and precious time since the light integration becomes much easier. Through the intensity control and the easy-to-use strobing function, the life time of the LED lighting is increased, which results in further savings. In addition to its high user-friendliness due to plug and play functionality and low purchase price, it also provides low operating costs, which can be supported by preventive maintenance.

Ease of use

• Communication between lighting and camera via Basler SLP feature
• Parameterization of light and camera via one software interface only
• Plug and play thanks to harmonized components (camera + light + cables)
• One power supply only
• Automatic timing for strobing operation
• Easy setup

Optimized life time

• More light and longer lifetimes by strobing

A flexible way to add lighting to a vision system is to use the Basler SLP Controller. In this case, the lighting is controlled via a controller, which is physically connected to the camera and communicates via the SLP feature. With this setup, users are given the freedom to choose from a variety of standard light sources or use their own. The solution is suitable for users with lighting experience who have applications with specific lighting requirements.

Another way for an integrated lighting solution is to use a Basler ace U or L camera with SLP feature and a Basler Camera Light with an integrated controller, where the light is controlled directly from the camera.

The approach is suitable for users who don't want to spend much time on the lighting application and want to achieve results quickly.
