Industrial or sanitary
Available on industrial and sanitary belted conveyor platforms, using either an aluminium extrusion with T-slot construction or a stainless-steel frame.
01Engineered solution
Backlit inspection conveyors
An LED light panel inside the conveyor frame shines through a translucent belt, increasing contrast for visual inspection and machine-vision systems.
Illuminated inspection area02Inspection principle
Put the light behind the product.
The light fixture is installed within the conveyor frame and emits light through translucent belting. The resulting silhouette or edge contrast makes features easier to see by an operator or camera.
Products may stop directly over the illuminated section for a timed inspection, or continue through without interruption when the vision process works in motion.
Application-sized illumination
Light-panel dimensions vary by application. The inspection field, product envelope, belt width and camera position therefore need to be defined together.
03Published options
Frame, belt and light panel.
The backlight is an engineered conveyor option rather than a separate inspection machine.
Translucent belting
The belt transmits the light from inside the frame while continuing to carry the product through the inspection area.
LED edge-lit panel
Published light colours are white, red, blue and green. Panel size is selected for the application.

04Inspection views
Contrast across different products.
The lighted surface can reveal an outline, an opening or a feature that is difficult to distinguish against an opaque belt.
