The Power LightLine (PLL) is an LED based solution for Web Inspection applications. Available with white, red or green LED's, the PLL is a scalable solution that can address applications up to 11' in length. The intensity of the light can be controlled in 1.3” segments over the entire length of the light. This control is done via an Ethernet connection and illumination profiles can be created, stored and recalled. Following are links to the product brochure and a short video showing the PLL running a sample program. Please contact us at Volpi@volpiusa.com for additional information.

VOLPI USA, a leading provider of fiber optic and LED Illumination, introduces the IntraLED 2020.

The IntraLED 2020 DC LED light source represents a viable alternative to halogen light sources. It achieves its high light yield of more than 3.5 MLux at a total power consumption of just 15W. With a color temperature of 5500K, the IntraLED 2020 emits a very white light that is far superior to halogen lamps. The illumination intensity is controlled manually using keys on the front panel or digitally via an RS232 interface.

The IntraLED 2020 can be pulsed, is suitable for clean room applications and outperforms halogen light sources with respect to bulb life and efficiency.
