Schott A08905 Lightline Fiber Optic Line Light 5.0" x 0.040"

The Schott A08905 Lightline is a precision fiber optic line light delivering a narrow, uniform 5.0" × 0.040" illuminated line — designed for Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources and engineered for machine vision, line-scan imaging, surface inspection, and any application requiring a mid-length, precisely defined, high-intensity line of light.

• 📐 5.0" × 0.040" (127mm × 1.0mm) illuminated line — a mid-length, precisely defined line of light for line-scan imaging and structured illumination across medium-width inspection fields
• 💡 High-intensity fiber optic construction for consistent, bright, uniform line illumination from Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources
• 📷 Ideal for line-scan cameras and machine vision systems requiring a uniform, high-contrast line of illumination — wider than the 2" A08589, narrower than the 7" A08907
• ❄️ Cold light (IR-free) illumination — protects heat-sensitive specimens, components, and materials during extended inspection runs
• 🇩🇪 Schott quality, made in Germany — precision fiber optic construction for consistent line uniformity and long service life
• ✅ New — part number A08905

🔧 Product Description

The Schott A08905 Lightline is a mid-length fiber optic line light that converts the output of a Schott KL series or ColdVision cold light source into a precisely defined, narrow illuminated line — 5.0 inches long by 0.040 inches wide (127mm × 1.0mm). Positioned between the 2" A08589 and the 7" A08907 in the Schott Lightline range, the A08905 is well-suited for medium-width line-scan camera systems, surface defect detection on mid-size components, and inspection applications where a 2" line is too short but a 7" line exceeds the required field width. The slightly wider 0.040" line width (vs. 0.029" on the A08907) delivers a broader line profile that can improve visibility in certain surface texture and defect detection applications. The fiber optic construction delivers high-intensity, uniform illumination along the full 5-inch length without hot spots or intensity falloff at the edges. The cold light source connection ensures IR-free illumination, protecting heat-sensitive specimens and components. Compatible with Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources via standard fiber optic connection. Supplied new from stock, part number A08905.
