Fibre-coupled light sources
Compact, rugged, AC or DC Halogen light sources with solid state dimmers, providing consistent, even illumination with a variety of fiber optic accessories, including ring lights, focusing heads and coaxial illuminators.
Fiber optic illuminators are the most versatile illuminators on the market today. They consist of a high-powered light source which can be used with ring lights or flexible light pipes for oblique or co-axial illumination.
We offer a series of high intensity fiber optic illuminators and accessories that allow you to position your light for best possible viewing. These fiber optic illuminators consist of a Halogen illumination system with a variable light intensity control, accepting a single or dual light pipe or an attachable ring light.
These illuminators offer low operating temperature and low noise output.
ACE
The ACE® is a cost effective and reliable AC-driven 150-watt cold light source which provides premium quality, intense light for Stereo Microscopy, Macroscopy and Machine Vision applications. The rugged and compact design in a stackable metal frame enables operation in harsher industrial environments as well as laboratory use.
The modular concept of the Modulamp® assembly allows flexible adaptation depending on the user’s requirements. The basic version is equipped with an electronic dimmer for continuous setting of light intensity and optimized lamp life. The Modulamp® assembly offers the choice of three halogen lamp types (EKE, EJA and DDL) with different focus diameters, intensities, color temperatures and lifetimes.
The ACE® Remote Light Source has all of the features of the premium quality ACE® Light Source with the added convenience of a remote control. The positive locking, quick-disconnect, shielded cable connects to a control that provides variable light intensity and on/off features.
Optional on all ACE® versions, the Modulamp ® assembly is available with an infinite setting, 13-blade iris diaphragm to control the intensity while keeping the color temperature constant. In addition, the light sources can be upgraded with an optional shutter unit.
The ACE® Light Source will fully illuminate active bundle diameters up to 16 mm. A broad range of fiber optic light guides and accessories are offered as well.
DCRIII
The DCR® III is a DC-regulated 150 watt-halogen light source which provides intense, cold illumination for Machine Vision applications. Powered by an internal switching power supply with universal input voltage, the light output does not flicker with the 50 Hz AC-frequency. This makes the DCR® III the light source of choice for various Machine Vision and high-speed vision applications.
Equipped with similar features as the ACE® Light Source, the DCR® III consists of rugged and stackable housing, Modulamp® assembly with the choice of three lamp types, 9-pin analog connector as well as optional Iris diaphragm, Shutter and RS-232-connection.
The DCR® III Light Source has additional unique features:
- Electronic current limiting protects the unit from overheating due to defective and aging lamps.
- A lamp change indicator at the front panel of the unit alerts the user of impending lamp failure due to an open or partly shorted filament. This information is also available via the analog 9-PIN connector.
- Transient protection allows for remote location of the lamp, which enables the use of the DCR® III Remote Light Source Kit.
- The electronically stabilized internal switching power supply accepts universal input voltage from 90–265 VAC. Thus, the light output does not change when the input voltage fluctuates.
The DCR® III Light Source will fully illuminate active bundle diameters up to 16 mm. A broad range of fiber optic light guides and accessories is being offered.
The DCR® III Remote Light Source Kit allows remote operation of the lamp head for energy chain and robot applications, utilizing all of the DC-regulated performance of the DCR® III in a remote package.
The Modulamp® assembly of the DCR® III is used with this kit to allow the light head to operate in potentially harmful environments while the power supply remains at a safe distance. The Kit includes a 10’ (3 m) shielded extension chord for use in dynamic applications where a fiber bundle may fail in time.
DCRIII Plus
The DCR®III Plus includes all the features of the DCR®III light source, with the addition of a RS-232 interface for remote control of the illumination.
DCRIV
The DCR®IV includes all the standard features of the DCR®III Plus light source, plus an integrated equalizer. The light feedback to the integrated equalizer provides stabilized light output for the most demanding machine vision inspection applications.
Illuminator heads
Fibre bundles
Flexible fiber bundles are used for routing and positioning of light from the lamp source. The bundles are available in single, double or quad versions for optimizing the illumination for best possible viewing. The light output from the fiber bundle is used either directly or as input to other illuminators.

Gooseneck bundles
Semi-rigid gooseneck bundles are mainly used with stereo microscopes for adjustable illumination of objects.
|
 |
Focusing lenses
Focusing lenses are available for focusing the light output from the fiber bundle to a small spot for increased light intensity over a small area.
|
 |
Ring Lights
Ring lights are attached to the microscope of the objective and emit intense, uniform, and shadow-free illumination for Machine Vision and Microscopy applications. Ring lights are available in different diameters and in bright field or dark field configuration.

External Co-axial Illuminators
Navitar’s Uni-Lite is unbeatable for highly reflective applications requiring a large field of view and even distribution of light without hotspots. No other system offers Navitar’s “light-trap” design. It is specifically engineered to trap stray light so that only the usable light reaches the camera.
