Back-Lit conveyors are used to provide a greater contrast betw een the product and the conveyor belt.
They are ideal for vision inspection applications - both m anual and m achine controlled. A light panel is
integrated w ithin the fram e of our standard GU F-P 2000 series conveyor and em its light through a
translucent belt.

A static-dissipative polycarbonate cover protects the light source w hile dram atically reducing the
am ount of static em itted.
Fluorescent and LED light panels available.

putting it in perspective

The color quality of light is frequently described by its color tem perature. Light com ing from a norm al
incandescent lam p is usually about 2700 Kelvin, w hile a daylight source m ight have a color tem perature of
around 5500 -6000 Kelvin. This is w hy m k features prim arily 5400 Kelvin illum ination sources.
