Coaxial Light

Category: FST Industrial Light Sources

A coaxial light uses a half-mirror to send light along the same axis as the lens. Because the light strikes the surface perpendicularly, flat and glossy areas reflect straight back into the camera, while even the smallest change in surface angle appears dark. This reveals scratches, marks and engraving on flat surfaces with very high contrast.

Typical Applications
  • Mirror-finish metal and glass
  • Laser-marked DPM code reading
  • Silicon wafer and flat plate inspection
  • Low-contrast engraving and stamping
