Schott A08909 Lightline Fiber Optic Line Light 9.0" x 0.022"

The Schott A08909 Lightline is a large-format precision fiber optic line light delivering a narrow, uniform 9.0" × 0.022" illuminated line — designed for Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources and engineered for wide-field line-scan imaging, web inspection, and large-format surface inspection applications requiring near-maximum line length with an exceptionally narrow line width.

• 📐 9.0" × 0.022" (229mm × 0.56mm) illuminated line — a large-format, near-maximum-length line light with an exceptionally narrow line width for high spatial resolution
• 💡 High-intensity fiber optic construction for consistent, bright, uniform line illumination across the full 9-inch length without hot spots or intensity falloff
• 📷 Ideal for wide-field line-scan cameras and machine vision systems — one step below the 10" A08910, with a slightly wider 0.022" line profile for applications where a marginally broader line improves contrast
• ❄️ Cold light (IR-free) illumination — protects heat-sensitive specimens, films, and materials during extended high-speed inspection runs
• 🇩🇪 Schott quality, made in Germany — precision fiber optic construction for consistent line uniformity and long service life
• ✅ New — part number A08909

🔧 Product Description

The Schott A08909 Lightline is a 9-inch large-format fiber optic line light — 9.0 inches long by 0.022 inches wide (229mm × 0.56mm). Positioned just below the flagship 10" A08910 in the Schott Lightline range, the A08909 provides near-maximum line length coverage for wide-field line-scan camera systems, high-speed web and film inspection, and large-format surface defect detection. The 0.022" line width is among the narrowest in the Schott Lightline range, delivering high spatial resolution along the line axis for detecting fine surface defects, scratches, and dimensional variations. The slightly wider line profile compared to the A08910 (0.022" vs. 0.020") can improve contrast and visibility in certain surface texture applications where a marginally broader illuminated line is advantageous. The fiber optic construction delivers high-intensity, uniform illumination along the full 9-inch length without hot spots or intensity falloff at the edges. Cold light output ensures IR-free illumination, protecting heat-sensitive films, papers, and materials. Compatible with Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources. Supplied new from stock, part number A08909. Please contact us for full optical specifications and system configuration guidance.
