DCM Sistemes ALD0707A Direct Ring Light

The unit is offered across an unusually wide wavelength range — UV at 365 and 400 nm, blue 470 nm, green 525 nm, red 630 nm, IR 850 nm, plus RGB and white (W00) — which lets the same mechanical part be tuned to the contrast problem at hand. Red 630 nm (the representative SKU here) penetrates and reflects well off many substrates and pairs cleanly with monochrome sensors; blue and green sharpen fine surface detail and printed contrast; IR 850 nm cuts through some surface colour to read underlying structure; and UV excites fluorescence for adhesive, coating or security-mark verification. Drive current per colour is modest in continuous mode — around 2.5 W at 470/525 nm, 3.5 W at red 630 nm and 2 W at IR 850 nm on a 24 VDC ±3% supply — so the lamp runs cool enough to sit at 0–40 ºC ambient without active cooling.

Four operating modes share the same housing. Type C is plain continuous DC, wired through a 2-pin male chassis connector (PIN1 = +24 V ±3%, PIN2 = 0 V) and needing no external controller, which suits steady inspection stations and slow-moving or stationary parts. Type P (pulsed) and Type S (strobe) trade duty cycle for brightness — strobe pushes the LEDs up to 16 W to freeze motion or beat ambient light, but Type S requires a DCM VS-series controller to time and current-limit the flash. The Type i / iBlueDrive variant integrates the inline ST00 driver on a 3-pin aerial cable, delivering overdrive intensity from a self-contained module without a separate rack controller. The aluminium housing carries an IP40 rating (IP43 when oriented so light falls vertically and debris cannot settle on the emitter), so this is a light for clean-to-moderate factory environments rather than washdown lines.
