Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to machine vision systems, illumination sources for use in machine vision systems, and components for use in the illumination sources. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to machine vision systems incorporating multi-function illumination sources, multi-function illumination sources, and components for use in multi-function illumination sources.
Claims36
A multi-function illumination source, comprising:
- at least one first light emitter having a first optical element;
- and
- at least one second light emitter having a second optical element, wherein, when the at least one first light emitter is energized the multi-function illumination source emits photons at a first angle via the first optical element, wherein, when the at least one second light emitter is energized the multi-function illumination source emits photons at a second angle via the second optical element, and wherein the second angle is different than the first angle.
A multi-function illumination source, comprising:
- at least one first light emitter having a first optical element;
- at least one second light emitter having a second optical element, wherein, when the at least one first light emitter is energized the multi-function illumination source emits photons at a first angle via the first optical element, wherein, when the at least one second light emitter is energized the multi-function illumination source emits photons at a second angle via the second optical element, and wherein the second angle is different than the first angle;
- and
- a multi-function illumination source controller.
