How to Evaluate Machine Vision Lighting for High-Speed Inspections

As inspection speeds continue to get faster, it is important to remember that lighting principles remain unchanged.
Lindsey Sullivan
August 7, 2025

Ensuring adequate light for high-speed applications involves more than measuring lux; it depends on how much light the sample reflects and absorbs and whether it captures direct or scattered light. High-intensity light may still fail if the sample doesn't reflect enough to the camera, making brighter lights essential for short exposure times to prevent blur.
