VISIOTRONIX is the website of RODER’s machine vision division: there you will find the complete, up-to-date DC6 series product page, with datasheets, part numbers, accessories and configurations. This page remains available for reference.
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 optimises heat dissipation. The transparent protective glass and the M8 connector with anti-vibration ring nut ensure its reliability in industrial environments.

Typical applications ↑ up
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.
