Laser Components honored by Vision Systems Design 2021 Innovators Awards

Laser Components has announced that its FLEXPOINT MVpulse has been recognized among the best in machine vision today as a silver award honoree by the judges of the Vision Systems Design 2021 Innovators Awards program. The judging panel consisted of experts from system integrator and end-user companies.

“Each year this unbiased and increasingly competitive program aims to celebrate the most innovative products and systems in machine vision,” stated Chris McLoone, editor in chief. The Innovators Awards Source: Laser Componentsprogram reviews and recognizes the most innovative products and services in the vision and image processing industry. Criteria used in the Innovators Awards ranking include originality, innovation, impact on designers, systems integrators and end-users, fulfilling a need in the market that has not been addressed, leveraging a novel technology, and increasing productivity.

The FLEXPOINT MVpulse laser module combines two criteria of machine vision: Bright light with output powers up to 100 mW and class 2 eye safety. High output and high contrast images allow for detailed processing. Bright light only needs to be available when the camera takes an image. The electronics match acquisition frequency and illumination pulses to each other, enable high output powers without the use of complex protective measures. FLEXPOINT MVpulse line laser modules have combined both requirements. The continuous wave laser beam is pulsed by an integrated microcontroller in such a way that each pulse is up to five times stronger than in normal continuous wave operation. Measured along a defined pulse sequence, the module meets the requirements of laser class 1 or 2.
