Reflective barcode imaging: compare four lights at a source-reported 35 µs

Four real captures show the same printed barcode/serial region under four coaxial line lights, each labelled 35 µs exposure. Their different brightness and bar contrast make a useful exposure-budget comparison without claiming a successful decode or transport speed.

Preserve the barcode structure before claiming a short-exposure reading result.

  • Source acquisitionCamera/motion not identified

挑戰

A reflective surface can lose the narrow bars in a weak signal or a bright background. A reliable reader needs preserved modules, margins and contrast at the required exposure.

解決方案

The source names white LS-4COXL300, LS-4COHL300, LS-3COHL300 and LS-4COSL300. Each frame explicitly states 35 µs; its source camera and acquisition mode are not identified.

The proposed system uses a 2048-pixel line-scan camera and a matched M42 lens. It is a new moving-material concept, not evidence that the original test used line-scan acquisition. The illustrative transport is external to the quoted optical kit.

工作原理

  1. 1

    Coaxial line illumination aligns a concentrated bright field with a narrow inspection region. Enough light can support short exposure, but excessive brightness can also weaken the visible print contrast.

  2. 2

    Exposure time alone does not establish a line rate, conveyor speed or decoding performance. The proposed line rate must be calculated from the required field, sampling and motion, then verified on real codes.

圖片中可見

The four captures have different background brightness and barcode/serial contrast at the labelled 35 µs exposure.

來源報告的內容

The source states 35 µs for all four named lights but gives no source camera, transport speed, line rate or decoder result.

如何使用此證據

An application-lab lighting demonstration, not a customer deployment or a qualified production inspection. Proposed camera, lens, fixture and scene spacing require a fresh trial. Source observations do not establish a defect-size limit, accuracy guarantee or production false-call rate.

The station is an optical test bench, with its two lighting holders included in the catalog listing. The 3D column and base follow the published height and footprint. Carriages, clamps and part supports are schematic: confirm camera screw pattern, lens support, light fasteners, permissible load and actual travel before ordering.

完成電氣系統

Select a controller against the exact light voltage, drive mode and power, then confirm camera data/power/I/O cables and a suitable PC. These are not silently added to the proposed optical kit.
