Island Optical Systems (S) Pte. Ltd. is the proud distributor of SCHOTT

Halogen light sources and Fiber Optics.

a) Advantages of using Fiber Optic Lighting:
Fiber Optic lighting utilizes “cold light”. Due to its design, the light will generate no heat on the object it is illuminating and is perfect for heat sensitive applications. Furthermore, it is able to focus an intense light over a very short output profile.

DCR®III


DC Regulated Light source provides intense, cool illumination. The DCR is a DC-regulated 150 watt-halogen light source, that provides intense 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 many machine vision applications.
** The DCR III consists of rugged and stackable housing, modulamp assembly with the choice of three lamp types (DDL, , 9-pin analog connector as well as an optional iris-diaphragm, shutter and RS-232 connection

Spatially Randomized Lightlines

  • A patented exclusive! 24″ and 40″ lines of white light for web and line scanning applications.
  • Spatial randomization process allows light from each input to be distributed over the entire length
  • Calibrated to ±15 gray scale levels at a mean of 200 with a gamma setting of 1.0 to deliver optimum uniformity
  • Assembly method accurately positions the fiber line within the body on all
  • The 24″ (610) lightline accepts our dichroic filters and diffusers. To use color filters on the 40″ (1016) line, part number A08931, color filter adapter, is required.

**Available in custom sizes *** Cylindricallenses available lenses are available to increase intensity up to a factor of 10

45° Lightlines

  • Engineered and designed to emit light at a 45° angle along the length of the line.
  • 45° line can be positioned off-axis to the object, illuminate the field-of-view without loss of uniformity, while avoiding interference with the camera
  • Good for space constrained systems.
  • Useful for illuminating a rectangular surface area where the features are perpendicular to the line body.
  • Calibrated to ± 8 gray scales at a mean of 200 with a gamma setting of 1.0, for optimum uniformity with DDL-lamp.
  • Assembly method accurately positions the fiber line within the body on all three planes, to a tolerance of ± .004″(.102).

Lightline Lenses

  • Cylindrical and apertured lenses for 1″ to 16″ lightlines.
  • Cylindrical and apertured lenses are available as standard products for most lightline models.
  • Available custom.
  • Can increase intensity up to a factor of 10
  • Apertured lens attachments are designed to project a more collimated line of light, not to increase light intensity
