DL5 series high intensity LED matrix illuminators

The DL5 series is a range of high intensity LED panels for vision applications that require large illuminated surfaces. The panels are built from standardised 100×100 mm blocks, which allow modular customisation up to very large sizes. The choice of lens makes it possible to move from wide angle diffusion to highly directional emission, matching the lighting to the type of inspection.

MCCD stabilisation protects the entire matrix from supply fluctuations, guaranteeing a constant light output; the heavy aluminium frame and HTTM© technology ensure efficient thermal management and LED longevity. The DL5 series can be used for direct lighting, to create low-cost backlights (with diffusing glass) and for grazing light systems.

Why choose a DL5 illuminator

• Modular design with 100×100 mm blocks for large size panels.
• High light intensity over wide surfaces.
• Selectable optical aperture (120°, 15°, 30°, 45°) by means of a lens.
• MCCD stabilisation against supply fluctuations.
• HTTM© technology for efficient heat dissipation and LED service life.
• Heavy aluminium frame for robust mechanical integration.
• Versatile use: direct lighting, low-cost backlight and grazing light.

Colours, optics and code structure

The DL5 series is available in four emissions — neutral white (WH1), blue 450 nm (BL1), red (RD1), infrared 850 nm (IN1) — and with four selectable optical apertures. The product code follows the scheme PL-DL5-XXXXXX-CCC-AGL000, where XXXXXX = size, CCC = colour, G = glass, L = lens (0 = 120° natural, 1 = 15°, 2 = 30°, 3 = 45°).

Aperture	Angle code (L)
No lens – 120° natural	0
15° lens	1
30° lens	2
45° lens	3

Part numbers – 100×100 mm module (example)

By way of example, the part numbers of the basic 100×100 mm module with clear glass, for the four emissions and the four optical apertures:

Color	120° (without lens)	15° lens	30° lens	45° lens
Neutral white (WH1)	10-07-42	10-07-52	10-07-56	10-07-60
Blue 450 nm (BL1)	10-07-49	10-07-53	10-07-57	10-09-65

The larger sizes follow the same configuration scheme (colour × aperture) with dedicated part numbers, available in the catalogue or on request.

Typical applications

Applications built and documented with the DL5 series LED matrix illuminators:

Machine vision systems for quality control on the production line combine cameras and dedicated LED illuminators: ring and coaxial lighting ensures sharp, repeatable images for the automatic detection of defects.
