The Visiotronix Photolux (RODER VISION) DC6 series LED ring illuminators are high-density, high-intensity illuminators with a central aperture for coaxial camera mounting, designed for inspection with direct axial lighting in vision systems.
- High-intensity ring with central aperture for a coaxial camera (axial lighting)
- 10 sizes from 150×150 to 550×650 mm
- 4 colors: 5000K white, 470 nm blue, 625 nm red, 850 nm infrared
- High luminous intensity, up to 12,000 cd in white
- 24 Vdc ±5% power supply, integrated MCCD + RCCR© drivers
- Transparent protective glass and HTTM© technology
- Anti-vibration M8 connector, reverse-polarity protection, IP40, CE
The DC6 series comprises high-density LED ring illuminators designed for professional vision applications that require direct, uniform lighting. Derived from the DL6 series, the DC6 incorporates a central aperture that allows the camera lens to be mounted along the optical axis, for axial lighting that reduces shadows and reflections.
The internal electronics, with an MCCD driver and RCCR© technology, regulate the current of every LED and maintain a uniform emission even as the input voltage varies; HTTM© technology optimizes heat dissipation. The transparent protective glass and the M8 connector with anti-vibration ring nut ensure its reliability in industrial environments.

Typical applications
Applications built and documented with DC6 series LED ring illuminators:
LED illuminators for robot guidance
In robot guidance and automated assembly, LED ring illuminators provide uniform axial lighting that allows the camera to locate, orient and inspect components with precision and repeatability.
Vision systems for in-line quality control
Machine vision systems for in-line quality control combine cameras with dedicated LED illuminators: coaxial ring lighting guarantees sharp, repeatable images for automatic defect detection.
Special lighting for in-line vision
Special lighting systems for industrial vision on the production line: LED illuminators with direct, coaxial or backlighting to enhance the contrast, edges and details of the objects being inspected.
