Lights are suited for surface inspection applications.
Press Release Summary:
Stroboscopic surface inspection lights include Sentry, suited for real-time product examination at full production speeds; compact, self-contained, 200 W Cadet; and Guardian linear light, which is suited for tight locations. All operate with Unilux Surface Inspection Lighting Controllers. Intensity adjusts to match ambient light and color of product being inspected, and flash rate adjusts to match line speed. Lights operate from 90-250 V, 50-60 Hz.

Newest Family of Unilux Inspection Lights Expands Operator Control, Increases Intensity
SADDLE BROOK, NJ Sept. 2, 2003 --- More operator control and more light intensity are the key benefits of the newest stroboscopic surface inspection lights that Unilux Inc. (www.unilux.com) will demonstrate in Booth 2113 at the Iron & Steel Expo, Sept. 28-Oct. 1 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, PA.
The lineup features the Sentry (850 D), which provides 35 percent more light from a unit that is 25 percent smaller than the Unilux 850 C for more efficient real-time product examination at full production speeds. Unilux will also show the new Cadet - a compact, self-contained 200-watt unit - and Guardian - a more powerful linear light for tight locations - both introduced this year. Unilux also will display the increasingly popular, battery-operated Miti-Lite unit for portable inspection anywhere in the process.
All of the lights can be operated with Unilux Surface Inspection Lighting Controllers (SILC). They are feature and menu-driven, intuitive control systems that allow mill system operators to adjust flash rates and brightness to match production line speeds manually or through automatic line speed tracking.
"The lights' combination of greater intensity and more control options gives operators the ability to customize the light to a variety of conditions," said Mike Simonis, vice president international sales. "They can adjust the intensity to match ambient lighting and the color of the product they're inspecting. They can adjust the flash rate to match the line speed, and they can do that manually or by synchronizing the light to the line. This enables them to take advantage of their knowledge of products and processes to find and fix surface defects faster during value-added processing while increasing lamp life and decreasing operator fatigue."
Unilux offers lighting systems that are self-contained, with power supplies, controls and lamps all in a single housing.
"This simplifies installation by eliminating the need to run wires from power supplies to light heads and/or controllers," Simonis said.
All Unilux lights offer multiple intensity settings and easy synchronization to print patterns while operating from universal voltage - 90-250 volt, 50-60 Hz. Because the lights can operate on worldwide voltages, mills and turnkey builders never have to worry about compatibility issues. All units are available with various flash rates to fit any application from the slow speed processing to over-speed discharge from accumulators or high speed reduction mills.
