FLEXIBLE LIGHT GUIDES
When your application requires versatility in routing and positioning of light, flexible bundles are the answer. Choose from single, dual, or quad configurations in a variety of active input fiber diameters and overall assembly lengths. For microscopy applications requiring uniform spot illumination, we offer randomized bundles as standard products. Furthermore, the dual and quad randomized bundles were designed to be interchangeable; they maintain light intensity within 10% bundle to bundle and 5% leg to leg.

LIGHTLINES
Uniform lines of light are critical for machine vision and inspection system applications. SCHOTT fiber optic lightlines (25.4 mm to 406.4 mm) with optional lenses and polarizer kits provide the uniformity you need. When you require a longer lightline, we offer our patented spatially randomized lightlines in 609.6 mm to 1016 mm standard sizes and can custom build other sizes up to approximately 2540 mm. Spatial randomization is a manufacturing process designed to allow light from each input to be distributed over the length of the line, rather than a section of the line. All our lightline products can be modified to meet your unique design requirements.
