Eight Tips for Optimal Machine Vision Lighting
Lighting plays a key role in the performance of a machine vision system. Optimal lighting yields high contrast images that are read reliably and consistently by the vision system, saving time, effort, and money in the long run. This white paper outlines eight helpful tips for choosing the optimal lighting solution for a machine vision application.
