New LED Solution Product Launches
Advanced Illumination will debut the UltraSeal Ring Light, engineered for sealed, hygienic environments requiring UV fluorescence inspection and reliable performance under washdown conditions. ProPhotonix will introduce the COBRA NX MultiSpec, a cost-effective multispectral LED line light offering advanced spectral control and uniformity for food sorting, pharmaceutical inspection, and material differentiation in cost-sensitive applications. LUMIMAX® will launch the LRHP Ring Lights, a powerful incident lighting solution offering high versatility for various industrial imaging tasks.
Automotive Industry Solutions
LUMIMAX® will demonstrate the pinOPTIX system, a 3D inspection solution powered by K|Lens technology and high-performance LUMIMAX® lighting, setting a new benchmark for connector and hairpin inspection with AI, absolute measurements, and real-time 3D modeling. Advanced Illumination will display a Low-Angle Dark Field Ring Light, used with a smart camera to showcase enhancing contrast on challenging automotive parts. Z-LASER will highlight its Laser Projectors for precision-guided workflows that accelerate assembly and reduce errors, as well as Laser Modules for tread inspection and quality control in tire manufacturing. ProPhotonix will showcase its latest UVC LED innovations at the show, including the COBRA Slim UVC Line Light, UVC Pro Area Light, and Custom UVC LED Systems. UVC LED technology offers versatile solutions such as secondary curing for inks, adhesives, and coatings, surface cleanliness inspection for glass and paint, and material presence detection for fluorescing adhesives.
Food & Beverage Industry Solutions
ProPhotonix will present the COBRA HyperSpec SWIR, a compact, high-precision hyperspectral light source offering a flatter and fuller SWIR spectrum for accurate detection of moisture, contaminants, and organic or inorganic materials in food and beverage applications. LUMIMAX® will present its Washdown and Hygienic Design lights, built for food environments requiring manual or aggressive CIP cleaning, ensuring durability and safety in contamination-critical areas. Advanced Illumination will showcase its soon to be released UltraSeal Ring Light, a sealed, high-durability illumination system designed for the food and beverage industry. At the event, it will be demonstrated using shellfish to highlight its ability to reveal product features under UV fluorescence, but its applications extend to a wide range of inspection tasks in food processing.
Logistics Industry Solutions
Z-LASER GmbH will showcase laser modules for visual guidance in warehouses and intralogistics, ideal for positioning, routing, and marking safety zones in fast-paced environments. LUMIMAX® will feature the LBHP Bar Lights, a modular lighting system extendable up to 4 meters and designed for demanding logistics and automation tasks, capable of reaching 1 million lux.. Advanced Illumination, in collaboration with LUMIMAX®, will present scan tunnel lighting solutions to demonstrate optimized lighting packages for barcode reading and item tracking.
