DCM Sistemes PLC3296D Compact Linear Light Projector

The optics are configurable rather than fixed, and the choice matters more than the raw output. The emission/focus modifier sets the beam: narrow 12 degrees (/AN) for a tight, intense line at longer reach or for true dark-field raking; medium 35 degrees (/AM, the default) as a general-purpose balance; wide 70 degrees (/AW) to flood a broader strip at short distance; and a diffuse modifier (/AD) when you need to soften specular hot-spots on shiny metal or glossy print. The recommended working distance is greater than 50 mm, so this is a close-to-medium standoff light, not a long-throw projector. Wavelength is equally a design decision: it ships in seven standard options spanning 365 nm UV- and 400 nm UV through 470 nm blue, 525 nm green, 630 nm red, 850 nm IR and W00 white (with 455/730/940 nm on request), letting you match the spectrum to contrast on the target rather than accepting whatever a single color gives you.

Electrically, the unit is designed to be self-sufficient and pulse-capable. It runs from 24 VDC (+/-8%) through a 3-pole aerial connector (with a short 150 mm lead and the VCC-series power cable ordered separately), and it requires no external driver: the iBlueDrive overdrive/strobe driver is built in, with a continuous-drive (C) variant offered for steady illumination. In continuous mode the 630 nm version draws roughly 47 W (about 1975 mA at 24 VDC), while iBlueDrive can pulse the LEDs far harder, up to roughly 8020 mA peak, to freeze fast-moving product without motion blur when synchronized to the camera trigger. The /67 modifier gives an IP67-rated sealed housing, and the rated operating range is 0 to 40 degrees C, so it is suited to washdown-adjacent and dusty production lines but should be kept within that thermal window.
