en.Wedoany.com Reported - Exaktera, a global leader in machine vision components, will showcase its latest technologies at the Automate 2026 trade show, scheduled for June 22–25 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. At Booth 241, the company will feature solutions from its brands Advanced Illumination, autoVimation, LUMIMAX®, ProPhotonix, and Z-LASER, focusing on industrial automation, machine vision, inspection, and harsh environment applications. This year's Exaktera booth will be organized into five major technology themes, each highlighting how the group's technologies address specific application challenges.
The first theme focuses on intelligent lighting. The LUMIMAX® INSPEKTO combines AI-driven visual inspection with four-segment adaptive lighting, creating high-contrast images for reflective surfaces and helping detect subtle defects that are difficult to identify with traditional machine vision methods. The ProPhotonix COBRA NX MultiSpec LED line light makes advanced multispectral imaging more accessible, combining powerful, uniform illumination, discrete wavelength control, integrated Ethernet control, and up to 30% reduction in lighting costs for applications such as multispectral imaging, food sorting, web inspection, and material inspection.
The second theme addresses reliable operation in extreme environments. In scenarios requiring stringent hygiene and washdown conditions, such as food and beverage or pharmaceutical industries, the Z-LASER ZQ1 HighPower is a performance-optimized laser module with up to 2.5 W optical output, active stabilization, and reduced ambient light influence, suitable for demanding imaging and measurement applications including outdoor measurement and daylight conditions. The autoVimation ORCA is an IP66/IP67 camera housing for larger sensors, featuring a robust structure, vibration-resistant mounting, working distance adjustment, and excellent heat dissipation. The Advanced Illumination UltraSeal series offers IP69K-rated washdown LED lights with sealed, gapless housings for hygienic inspection environments. The autoVimation DOLPHIN provides a V4A stainless steel camera housing with IP69K protection and hygienic design. Together, these technologies support reliable operation in harsh, hygienic, and washdown environments.
The third theme emphasizes precise guidance in continuous operation. The Z-LASER ZLP1 is a compact and cost-effective laser projector designed for industrial applications, projecting optical work instructions directly into the workspace to support picking, logistics, worker guidance, and positioning tasks. The ProPhotonix Photon PRO is a compact 12 mm laser module with an IP67-rated stainless steel threaded housing, digital control and monitoring capabilities, and an end-of-life indicator, enabling predictive maintenance and system uptime for applications such as food sorting and processing, industrial alignment, and particle analysis.
The fourth theme demonstrates how shaping light can address inspection challenges. The Z-LASER ZM18 is an industrial-grade laser module with a compact sensor-style design, featuring IP67 protection, multiple wavelength options, and built-in focusing optics for quick adjustment to different working distances and positioning requirements, suitable for positioning and general machine vision inspection applications. The Advanced Illumination SL256 is a structured LED light projector with high-intensity output and configurable reticle patterns, including lines, grids, crosses, multi-lines, and hemispherical patterns, for machine vision applications requiring structured lighting such as edge detection, offset positioning, and topography assessment. LUMIMAX® ring lights provide uniform illumination for flat, matte, reflective, and challenging surfaces, with options for interchangeable lenses, diffusers, Fresnel lenses, and polarizers for surface inspection and reflective surface inspection.
The fifth theme focuses on revealing the details needed for quality inspection. The Advanced Illumination LL330 series provides sealed, high-intensity line lights for line scan imaging applications in industrial environments, ideal for scenarios where reliable performance and low-maintenance operation are critical. The ProPhotonix COBRA HyperSpec LED line light offers tunable hyperspectral illumination with discrete wavelength control and high uniformity, suitable for finished product inspection, print inspection, food sorting and grading, material inspection, chemical and pharmaceutical analysis, recyclable material sorting, and short-wave infrared hyperspectral imaging.
Visitors can head to Booth 241 at Automate 2026 to learn how Exaktera can help solve application challenges and speak with experts.
