As the name suggests, SCHOTT ColdVision Flexible Bundles are highly bendable and generally used to highlight structures through shadows. In contrast to gooseneck light guides, they offer a higher flexibility and need to be held.

Randomized and Calibrated Bundles
Designed to increase uniformity of light output for Machine Vision applications.
Features
■ Fibers are randomized to improve spot uniformity.
■ For specific uniformity requirements, calibrated outputs on dual and quad bundles were designed to be interchangeable for Machine Vision inspection applications. Interchangeability was achieved by maintaining light intensity within 10% bundle to bundle. We assure consistency by adding a 12" (305)* randomized common end at the input. This extra 12" (305) of fiber scrambles the light, distributing any hot or cold spots from the lamp throughout each of the legs. Then, each one of the legs is calibrated so the output from each leg is within 5% of each other.
■ Tight bending radius for easy routing.
■ A variety of standard sizes include single, dual, and quad configurations.
■ Multi-leg bundles are illuminated with one light source.
■ Standard input accepts our Dichroic color filters, diffusers and fits all ColdVision Series light sources.
■ The standard output ferrules accept spot lenses with or without polarizing caps.
■ Custom configurations are available. Lead time is required.
■ Manufactured in the USA.
