MANUFACTURED TO MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS
LED customised solution.
Due to the increasing complexity and individuality of machines, the technical requirements and design demands on the systems and their components are growing.
Lighting and signaling are becoming increasingly important. As a fixed component integrated into the machine, they increasingly serve as a design tool or contribute to safe processes by visualizing information. A standard product often does not meet all lighting, mechanical and interface-related requirements at the same time, and our strength lies in finding a solution for you that does just that.
We have access to a wide range of standard products and many years of experience, so that a completely new development is not absolutely necessary for your solution. This saves you valuable time and money.

LED LIGHTING GUIDE
10 steps to the right LED machine luminaires.
We have summarized the most important questions from many hundreds of customer discussions for you in a compact guide so that you can complete your next project even more successfully.
1
Keeping an eye on costs right from the start
The ever-increasing competitive pressure means that machines have to be developed and built more and more cost-efficiently. This guide helps you to keep an eye on all the important points for cost-optimized engineering of a luminaire system right from the start.
Together from the start!
Take time for a kick-off meeting to agree the following points together.
Every department has its own requirements for such a project. Defining the framework conditions from the outset provides security for everyone involved and thus leads to a successful project completion.

3
Define IP protection types
The IP protection classes can be a major price driver for a lighting system. It is therefore important to determine at the outset what requirements you have in this area. The protection classes should also not be set too high. It is not uncommon for high protection classes to be set out of “pure habit”, even though the ambient conditions would not require this.
What operating voltage?
24V or 230 V – this question should be clarified from the outset. Most LED machine lighting systems are designed for an operating voltage of 24V. However, a voltage of 230 V can also be relevant, depending on the framework conditions you specify in your electrical installation. Specify this at an early stage.
A subsequent change is often not possible.

5
Light color and color fidelity
The light color as well as the color fidelity are important decision criteria for optimum illumination in your machine. Light colors between 5700 and 6500 Kelvin have established themselves as standard. This puts you in a range that is always close to daylight white. The color fidelity value should be Ra / CRI ≥ 80 so that natural color rendering can be guaranteed.
Power vs. illuminance
Watt values only provide a rough guide. The decisive factor, however, is the actual illuminance of a machine light. Many manufacturers indicate “E-medium” and “E-max” as guide values. These values are the result of a simulated laboratory measurement. An area of 100cm x 100cm is illuminated. The luminaire is suspended at a height of 100 cm.

7
How much space is needed?
A crucial question that should be considered from the outset. Depending on the desired illuminance, the housing sizes vary in the range of several 100 millimeters. Sufficient space should therefore be planned in the machine design for the light. Our experience has shown that subsequent changes can lead to considerable additional costs in machine development.
Mounting options
This is also a crucial question and has involuntarily prolonged many a development phase. Make sure from the outset that the mounting options for the luminaire match your machine design. Subsequent changes or even the forced selection of a different type can quickly lead to considerable additional costs.

9
Ambient temperatures
A crucial question that should be considered from the outset. Depending on the desired illuminance, the housing sizes vary in the range of several 100 millimeters. Sufficient space should therefore be planned in the machine design for the light. Our experience has shown that subsequent changes can lead to considerable additional costs in machine development.
Standards and approvals
The international mechanical engineering market has very different requirements in terms of the regulations to be observed in each country. UL, CSA or special approvals in the food & beverage sector should play a central role in the selection of the machine light.
10
Would you like personal advice?
Industrial luminaires for optimum machine lighting or optimum lighting at the assembly site are not something you just change. That is clear to everyone. Structural issues need to be clarified for a replacement or modernization. But other changes are also often necessary. We will advise you personally – from the initial inquiry through to installation.
So that your work processes run smoothly.
