Light Measurement Solutions
Measurement solutions for light and lighting from development and manufacture to installation and ongoing maintenance
Light Measurement Solutions for Development, Production, QC and Installation
Konica Minolta, along with group companies Radiant Vision Systems and Instrument Systems GmbH offer cutting edge light measurement solutions for R&D, Quality Control on the production line, installation and ongoing maintenance of installations.
New technology introduced a huge host of new possibilities to the lighting industry, in terms of miniaturisation, integration, efficiency, decorative potential, and many new applications, e.g. human centric lighting or horticultural lighting. The importance of accurate (spectral) measurement has increased in parallel as producers and installers seek to control variability within supply of LED chips, efficiency, lifetime and wear. This results in a whole range of new measuring tasks for development and quality control in the LED / SSL light lab.
Scalable solutions are available to help organisations and their wider value chain to benchmark, specify, produce, and inspect all manner of light technology including the accurate characterisation of technologies such as LED and Micro LED. This includes also UV LEDs, which have arisen for a wide range of uses by virtue of their germicidal and photolytic properties, and IR emitters for e.g. sunlight / solar simulators.
Solutions from across the Konica Minolta Group are adopted across the industry, supporting test and validation of:
- Light sources
- Luminaires
- LEDs and solid state lighting
- Integrated LEDs and Symbols
- Signal Lighting
- Emergency Lighting
Our expertise and measurement technologies enable our customers to improve perceived quality,optimise processes, improve consistency, boost customer satisfaction, reduce waste, and more.
Requirements, benchmarks, and in some cases standards, may be different according to the application. Our experienced team can help you to select the correct solution and support you through the installation and lifecycle of the instrument.
Konica Minolta has a global reach, with local sales and expertise to assist you in establishing a successful measurement system. Whether between supply chain partners, in development, in production or in QC, our teams can deliver a solution that meets your needs, and partner with you to scale that system as those requirements grow. Our solutions are supported by a dedicated team experienced in installation, training, and customization of the solution.
Our experienced teams can help to implement measurement and control solutions for light and lighting products throughout the development and production process.
- Development
- Manufacturing
- Quality Control
Each step can be supported by a global sales and support network. Our extensive global network of authorised service facilities ensure that your instrument is maintained, accurate, and traceable all year round.
Benefits
- Reduce production time, costs, and waste: Improve specification and inspection whilst also improving defect detection with measurement systems that can keep up with manufacturing processes.
- Push the boundaries of new technologies: Development teams can benefit from cutting edge measuring instruments with the highest standards in accuracy with wide luminance/illuminance ranges, accurate at even low light levels.
- Increase perceived value: Specify & control components and processes, target improvements and consistency with supply partners elevating consumer perception of quality and value.
- Versatile measuring solutions, a variety of traceable measurement systems to suit all budgets, applications and configurations.
Example Applications
- Accurate, traceable and automated measurement solutions for production inspection, from LEDs, LED arrays, Micro LEDs as well as simultaneous testing of thousands μLEDs on a wafer within a few seconds.
- Guarantee that the spectral properties of UV LEDs are sufficient for the respective application, e.g. water and air disinfection, hardening, coating, surface inspection or lighting for indoor gardening.
- Characterise IR LEDs and IR lasers, e.g. compact VCSEL arrays, used for many new applications in the consumer goods market.
- Perform comprehensive pre and post installation measurement of lit environments to generate detailed reporting either to meet industry requirements, national standards or to fulfil client brief.
- Ensure compliance of signal lighting with accurate, traceable, easy to use measuring instruments.
