About This Webinar
UV lighting offers numerous advantages in inspection and quality control applications in a number of key sectors with its ability to excite fluorescent materials or markers, which can then be detected using a camera or sensor and for detecting invisible markings that can only be detected under UV light. It can also be used to improve the contrast between an object and its background, making it easier to detect specific features or defects, which is especially useful when inspecting materials that have low contrast or are difficult to distinguish from their surroundings.
This presentation takes an in-depth look at different use cases, from inspecting the print in UV to allow for batch tracing to examining the quality of packaging and food sealing. Viewers will learn of the various considerations in implement UV fluorescing, from the cost to add UV pigment, eye safety concerns, the need to implement bandpass filters to isolate fluorescence and material limitations, as some may require special preparation or treatment to enhance their fluorescence.
