The IPSC Strobe Controller series is designed for
Industrial Machine Vision camera applications where
fast moving objects need to be captured with minimal
blur. To achieve this, the strobe controller generates
very bright LED flashes (strobes) precisely
synchronized with the cameras’ image capture during
the very short exposure times. Due to the ultra-short,
but high power strobes, the illumination intensity is
significantly increased and at the same time, the
thermal effects for the LEDs are reduced. This
method of lighting control exploits the characteristics
of the LED illumination devices beyond their standard
mode of operation without affecting their lifetime and
reducing overall system costs.
The IPSC series drives a broad range of LED
illumination devices in continuous and flash mode.
Thanks to the ability to deliver current pulses of up to
20A and up to 200V, they are also suitable for large
and high-power LED lights connected in series. The
exceptional switching power and precision is

complemented by integrated LED cooling fan power
supplies and the use of Digital Light-Head coding,
which reads the power limitations of the LED
illumination devices used and avoids potential
damage caused by high power pulses.
The IPSC Strobe Controller series is designed for
long life, continuous operation and reliability. In
addition, the units have Ethernet access to the
controller settings via a user friendly graphical
interface in the internet browser, or alternatively via a
C++ based API which allows easy integration into any
software application. The combination of cutting-edge
performance and a highly competitive price point has
led to an ever-growing list of demanding reference
applications for the SMARTEK Vision IPSC series.
Applications range from quality assurance in German
luxury car production to print inspection of tokens.
Our sales and support team is on hand and ready to
assist you in finding the right solution for your specific
application.
