Abstract
A machine vision system can include an image sensor assembly including an image sensor, a lens assembly coupled to the image sensor assembly, an illumination assembly coupled to the lens assembly, and a removable front cover positioned in front of the illumination assembly. The illumination assembly can include a plurality of multispectral light assemblies. Each multispectral light assembly of the plurality of multispectral light assemblies can include a multispectral light source having a plurality of color LED dies configured to generate at least two different wavelengths of light, a light pipe positioned in front of the multispectral light source and having an exit surface, a diffusive surface on the exit surface of the light pipe, and a projection lens positioned in front of the diffusive surface. The machine vision system can also include an illumination sensor configured to detect light from the illumination assembly.
