REVOX SLG-150V-NIR / NIRX - NIR Fiber Optic Illuminator (740-1,650 nm)

REVOX SLG-150V-NIR / NIRX - NIR Fiber Optic Illuminator (740-1,650 nm)

Description

The REVOX SLG-150V-NIR is a near-infrared fiber optic illuminator with eleven standard wavelengths from 740 nm to 1,650 nm, covering both surface inspection and transmitted inspection of the inside of a material. REVOX publishes an output more than twice that of a near-infrared halogen source for the 740, 850, 940, 1,060, 1,100, and 1,150 nm models, which is the practical reason to replace a halogen source: the same signal is available without the lamp's heat load, warm-up, and replacement cycle. The SLG-150V-NIRX is the higher-power variant for the longer wavelengths from 1,060 nm upward, where emitter efficiency falls and more drive power is needed. Dimming is 10-bit over a 0-100% range and can be driven manually, by analog voltage, by digital input, by RS-232C, or over Ethernet. TeraPower LED is the authorized United States distributor of REVOX, Inc.

System components

• Illuminator, ordered as SLG-150V①-②-③④ or SLG-150V①-②X-③④: ① light-output feedback (fitted = FB, omitted = blank), ② LED wavelength (740 = 740 nm through 1650 = 1,650 nm), ③ bundle diameter (Ø8-14 mm = M), ④ beam angle (30° = N, 50° = M)
• Light guide: selected separately. Straight, ring, and line light guides are configured to the application, and the light guide is not included with the illuminator. Transmission in the near-infrared depends on the fiber material, which matters most above 1,200 nm, so the light guide is selected together with the wavelength
• Ferrule adaptor: selected separately to match the light guide dimensions, with custom ferrule specifications available
• Supplied accessories: instruction manual and a 2 m three-pin grounded AC cord rated at 125 V, 7 A maximum

Applications

• Internal inspection of materials that are opaque in visible light but transmit in the near-infrared
• Foreign-object detection in food, resin, and packaging, using wavelength contrast rather than shape
• Moisture and water-content imaging in the 1,450 nm and 1,550 nm bands
• Film, adhesive, and coating inspection through a light guide at high magnification
• Replacing near-infrared halogen sources to remove heat load, warm-up time, and lamp replacement
• Wavelength screening during process development, where several wavelengths are compared on the same optical setup

Specifications above are taken from the REVOX product documentation. Illuminance data published by REVOX is measured with a multi-component light guide of 1 m length and Ø10 mm OF diameter. Tell us your material, the wavelength you expect to use, the working distance, and the camera sensor, and we will confirm the model, wavelength, beam angle, light guide, and ferrule configuration. If you are evaluating wavelengths before specifying the illuminator, we also supply REVOX NIR COB emitters from 740 nm to 1,650 nm at the component level.

Ordering and sourcing information

How this product is configured

The SLG-150V-NIR is supplied as a system rather than a single part number. The wavelength and beam angle are fixed when the unit is built, the choice between the NIR and NIRX platforms follows from the wavelength, and the light guide has to transmit that wavelength, so the illuminator, light guide, and ferrule adaptor are specified together. The light-output feedback option is also specified at the time of order. We work through the configuration with you before quoting.

Minimum order quantity

There is no minimum order quantity. A single illuminator with its light guide is handled exactly like a production order, so evaluation units are quoted the same way as line deployments.

Lead time

These illuminators are built to order at the factory, so lead time depends on the wavelength, the configuration, and component availability. Orders are shipped either direct from REVOX in Kanagawa, Japan, or through our Torrance, California office. We confirm the shipping route and the lead time with every quote, so the delivery schedule is fixed before you commit to an order.

U.S. purchasing and technical support

You can buy this illuminator in the United States from TeraPower LED, the authorized United States distributor of REVOX, Inc. You order from and are invoiced by a U.S. company in Torrance, California, and we handle export, import, customs clearance, and delivery to your site - there is no need to order from Japan or import the system yourself. Questions on wavelength selection, camera sensor compatibility, light guide transmission in the near-infrared, and dimming control are answered in English from the United States, with direct access to the manufacturer's engineering team in Japan whenever a question needs the designer.

Pricing

This product is quoted individually, because pricing depends on the wavelength, the NIR or NIRX platform, the feedback option, and the light guide and ferrule configuration.
