Gardasoft acquires rights to VCubed LED lighting products
APRIL 13, 2009--Gardasoft Vision (Cambridge, UK; www.gardasoft.comhas signed the worldwide rights to the VCubed ultrahigh-brightness LED Linelight and Traffic Monitoring lights.
The liquid-cooled VLX2 Linelights are many times brighter than conventional air-cooled LED line lights. They are used in linescan applications such as printing, paper, plastic film, or web inspection up to 4 m wide (see "Line light uses LEDs for web inspection" for more information on LEDs in this application).
The limiting factor in many systems is the speed of the inspection system. With these lights, says Gardasoft, the whole system can run faster, and manufacturers will be able to reduce costs and increase efficiency, often by running fewer production lines but faster. The company says OEMs will be able to increase the sales value of their systems and systems integrators will be able to achieve higher performance and reduce the return on investment time.
The VCubed VTR series lights are used in intelligent traffic -based technologies such as ANPR and can provide illumination up to 50 m or more.
This product line will complement the Gardasoft product range of high-speed LED lighting controllers. Utilizing the comprehensive Gardasoft distribution network around the world will enable wider exposure and support for the VCubed range of LED lighting solutions, according to Gardasoft.
Gardasoft will manufacture, maintain, and develop the current VCubed designs as well as future new developments for high-brightness LED line lights and traffic monitoring light technology.
Peter Bhagat, CEO of Gardasoft Vision, says, "The VCubed line lights are very impressive. These solutions are needed worldwide by a wide range of industries."
