Flat Dome LED Illuminators FD1 Series

Why Choose FD1 Series

• Semi-Transparent Diffuser Glass: A specialised semi-transparent glass cover heavily diffuses the emitted light, creating a highly effective dome illumination effect while keeping an exceptionally thin, space-saving profile.
• Central Camera Aperture: Derived from the DC6 architecture, the flat dome includes a dedicated central hole for optical lenses, providing uniform, shadow-free illumination directly along the camera axis.
• Scalable Modular Architecture: Built on 50 × 50 mm emission tiles, the FD1 scales from 150 × 150 up to 550 × 550 mm, so integrators can match the dome to the object and the working distance.
• Integrated MCCD Stabilisation: The Multi Constant Current Driver gives every LED the same current, guaranteeing immunity to voltage fluctuations and flicker-free image acquisition.
• HTTM© Thermal Management: High Transmission Thermal Material conducts heat from the LED board into the anodised aluminium frame, protecting flux and colour stability over tens of thousands of hours.
• Flexible T-Slot Mounting: Continuous lateral grooves for sliding nuts, with AISI 316 brackets and screw kit supplied, permit rapid installation using standard angular brackets.
• Certified Reliability: M8 3-pin pigtail connector with threaded locking ring, reverse polarity protection, CE and RoHS compliance and a 48-hour burn-in test with individual certificate.

The FD1 Series flat dome illuminators are engineered to provide highly diffused, shadow-free lighting for complex machine vision inspections. Derived from the high-density DC6 series, these units replace the transparent cover with a semi-transparent diffuser glass, replicating the enveloping effect of a traditional dome light while maintaining an exceptionally thin profile suitable for tight industrial spaces.

Constructed using a modular 50 × 50 mm tile architecture, the FD1 Series scales up to 550 × 550 mm. The central camera aperture lets the lens sit perfectly aligned with the diffused light source, eliminating harsh reflections on glossy, specular or curved surfaces, while the built-in MCCD stabilisation and HTTM thermal management keep the optical performance stable over time.

• Reflective and specular surfaces — diffused dome light removes glare from metal, foil and glossy plastics
• Curved and uneven parts — enveloping illumination reads shapes without hard shadows
• Packaging and label identification — OCR and code reading on shiny films and blister foils
• Pharmaceutical container quality control — caps, vials and seals inspected from the camera axis
• Electronic PCB inspection — uniform light on solder joints and reflective components
• Automated robotic assembly guidance — stable, shadow-free images for part localisation
• Component orientation and verification — high-contrast images of parts on feeders and trays
• Print and marking verification — embossed, laser-marked and printed codes on reflective surfaces
• Precision dimensional measurement — flicker-free, homogeneous light for repeatable measurements
• Integrated OEM optical test benches — flat profile and central aperture for compact machine layouts
