High-speed, high-power illumination
The unique CAVILUX laser illumination technology provides indispensable
benefits across a range of applications - from online process monitoring
through to industrial and scientific research and development. It is at
its best in demanding applications were other light sources are not bright
enough. Based on pulsed high power diode laser illumination technology,
Cavitar lighting can strobe objects with very high intensity light up
to millions of times per second. The pulsed light power is typically several
hundreds of watts concentrated into a small area and the brightness can
be millions of times higher than of traditional LED light sources.
Cavitar lighting is also excellent for applications where there is extreme
heat and hot glowing objects (eg welding). The technology works accurately
and without distortion in circumstances where changes in light
or high frequency vibration usually cause problems.
CAVILUX lighting in conjunction with a high speed camera allows for the
montoring and control of continuous processes in real time, thereby reducing
the need for time-consuming and costly post-manufacturing checks. The
technology can monitor several production lines or different parts of
the same production line using the one system.
The CAVILUX product offering includes laser unit, control unit,
illumination optics and control software and all can be easily
programmed with a computer and thereafter can operate stand alone.
Highlights and key benefits
CAVILUX
Smart |
|
CAVILUX Smart is
a versatile and powerful pulsed diode laser light source designed
especially for scientific and industrial R&D and consists of
a laser unit (size app. 0.3 dm3), control unit, laptop computer,
software and illumination optics. It is available in 690nm or of
810nm wavelengths. It is an excellent adjunct to a high speed camera
for extreme slo-mo imaging or for difficult conditions.

HF |
|
Compatible with many high-speed cameras, the CAVILUX HF is a
powerful, high-frequency, pulsed diode laser light source specifically
manufactured for high-speed applications and designed for further
boosting the performance of high-speed cameras. The HF light source
is especially suitable for studying high-temperature processes,
such as welding and soldering. It is available in 810nm wavelength.

CAVILUX
LP |
|
CAVILUX LP has similar features to the CAVILUX HF, except that
it generates longer and therefore more energetic light pulses
at lower frequencies. CAVILUX LP is especially suitable for illuminating
large areas and objcts at greayter distances.
