Metaphase Lighting Technologies has introduced its new TXFL series ultra-high intensity bar lights, designed for machine vision applications in logistics, warehouse and manufacturing environments. The TXFL Series features three rows of LEDs and an integrated driver, providing high-intensity, uniform illumination for objects at extended distances or moving at high speeds.
“The challenge in warehouse logistics isn’t simply providing brighter light for vision systems — it’s delivering that intensity with the uniformity required to reliably read barcodes at variable distances and conveyor speeds,” said Kevin High, president of Metaphase Lighting Technologies. “The TXFL Series addresses these challenges by providing the high-intensity strobing capability necessary for accurate image capture in dynamic environments while offering the installation flexibility that integrators need to adapt lighting configurations to specific operational layouts.”
The TXFL Series includes an integrated driver that eliminates the need for external strobing controllers and supports both continuous and strobe modes. In optical pulse-follow strobing mode, the lights deliver overdrive intensity up to eight times the direct current, with pulse widths up to two milliseconds and duty cycles reaching 10%, enabling high-speed image capture without motion blur. Continuous illumination offers 0–10 volt dimming control for precise brightness adjustment.
The lights are designed for flexible installation, with T-slot mounting compatibility and multiple bracket options, including end cap swivel brackets, slide swivel brackets and joining plates for multi-light configurations. TXFL lights are available in lengths from 150 millimeters to 900 millimeters, with IP67-rated models suitable for harsh environments.
Metaphase also offers the TXFL Series in multiple spectral configurations, including visible white (6500 Kelvin), red (630 nanometers), green (530 nanometers), blue (470 nanometers), UV (365 and 395 nanometers), near-infrared (850 and 940 nanometers), and short-wave infrared (1050–1650 nanometers). Users can independently control up to three wavelengths in a single light for RGB or specialized applications, supporting tasks such as quality inspection, surface analysis and advanced imaging.
Additional features include multiple lens types, diffusers and polarizers to optimize light delivery for specific applications, and operation on 24-volt DC with trigger rates up to 5 kilohertz. The TXFL series is available immediately through Metaphase’s global distribution network.
Founded in 1993, Metaphase Lighting Technologies specializes in LED illumination for machine vision and industrial applications, offering a diverse portfolio of wavelengths, drivers and connectivity options. The company serves industries including automation, line scan inspection, high-speed imaging, pharmaceuticals, wafer inspection and robotic guidance.
