Schott A08580 Dual Lightline Fiber Optic Line Light 3.0" x 0.018"

The Schott A08580 Dual Lightline is a precision dual-output fiber optic line light delivering two simultaneous, parallel 3.0" × 0.018" illuminated lines — designed for Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources and engineered for machine vision and inspection applications requiring two precisely defined, co-planar lines of light for structured illumination, 3D profilometry, and dual-line inspection techniques.

• 📐 Dual output: two simultaneous 3.0" × 0.018" (76mm × 0.46mm) illuminated lines — two precisely defined, parallel lines of light from a single fiber optic light source connection
• 📷 Enables dual-line structured illumination techniques — ideal for 3D surface profilometry, height measurement, and inspection methods that require two reference lines simultaneously
• 💡 High-intensity fiber optic construction for consistent, bright, uniform line illumination across both 3-inch lines without hot spots or intensity falloff
• ❄️ Cold light (IR-free) illumination — protects heat-sensitive specimens and components during extended inspection runs
• 🇩🇪 Schott quality, made in Germany — precision fiber optic construction for consistent dual-line uniformity and long service life
• ✅ New — part number A08580

🔧 Product Description

The Schott A08580 Dual Lightline is a specialized fiber optic line light that delivers two simultaneous, parallel illuminated lines — each 3.0 inches long by 0.018 inches wide (76mm × 0.46mm) — from a single cold light source connection. The dual-line configuration opens up structured illumination techniques that are not possible with a single line light: two parallel reference lines can be used for 3D surface profilometry and height measurement by analyzing the deflection of both lines across a surface, for dual-line inspection methods that compare two adjacent regions simultaneously, or for creating a precisely defined two-line illumination pattern for specialized machine vision algorithms. The 0.018" line width is among the narrowest in the Schott Lightline range, delivering high spatial resolution along the line axis. The fiber optic construction delivers high-intensity, uniform illumination across both 3-inch lines simultaneously without hot spots or intensity falloff. Cold light output ensures IR-free illumination for heat-sensitive specimens. Compatible with Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources. Supplied new from stock, part number A08580.
