Model MIB-140 (Current Software Version is 4.4.5)
The MIB-140™ is the latest Phoenix Imaging Single-Sided lighting configuration. The MIB-140™ has analog light intensity control and a PLC for Pacer functions. The MIB-140D™ offers a PLC Pacer and Digital Lighting Control. The unit offers the same Phoenix Imaging LED Lighting Controller (Model 3608) with active feedback control to maintain consistent light output and a high output LED Lighting Module. The Manual Inspection Booth in Standard Configuration is shown in Figure below. The MIB-140D is designed to provide controlled light intensity in an economical bench top configuration. Both units use the traditional “Top Lighting” technique where a pair of LED lighting modules illuminates the product from the top in front of a Black/White inspection background. This is a Best in Class lighting booth for single sided configuration Manual Inspection Booth’s.
MIB-140D Manual Inspection Booth
The MIB-140D™ implements a lighting system with the lamps are oriented horizontally. The lamps are actually mounted above the Replaceable Inspection Screen (Black / White Background). The enclosure is constructed of 14 gauge steel with a Gloss White exterior. The Enclosure dimensions are 26″ W x 30″ H x 12″ D , weighting approximately 95 lbs. The MIB-140D includes an Operator Interface Panel on the front of the enclosure with Pacer LED’s mounted to the right of the White Background and to the left of the Black Background to indicate duration of each inspection. The Light Intensity in the MIB-140™ is adjusted by entering the desired value (in Lux) on the operator interface. The Light Intensity is measured at the Center of the Black / White Background. As with any Top Lighting Only inspection booth the light intensity is a function of the distance from the light sources. The MIB-140D™ provide a very stable output when measured at any point. The lamp spacing is adjustable to increase or decrease the uniform depth on the Light Intensity.
The MIB-140D™ incorporate many of the features found in other MIB products. The unique Phoenix Imaging Power Supply is mounted in the upper section of the main enclosure. The precision power supply operates at a constant voltage and has adjustable current with active-loop feedback control to maintain precise luminous flux. The power supply insures consistent lamp output over the entire range of control. The MIB-145 has a potentiometer mounted on the front of the enclosure that allows precision adjustment of the lighting level. In conjunction with the novel lamp separation adjustment the light intensity of the system can be adjusted between 1500 Lux and 10,000 Lux (dependent on the distance from the lamps, typical value when measured at centerline & middle of the screen. Higher intensity is available at different position in the booth).
MIB-140 Main Features and Dimensions
The system is available in a two LED lamp configuration, (the High Output 1200 mA lamp configuration is optional and only required when extremely high light intensity is required). The lamp spacing inside the MIB-140D is adjustable. The LED lighting modules used in the Phoenix Imaging MIB-140D are a high output 39 W version with color temperature of 5000K. The LED lighting modules are capable of a luminous flux that is more than four times that of standard 20W (T12 & T8 24″ lamps) or 18W (T5 18″ lamps). This allows the system to operate the LED lamps at lower driving current and therefore increases the lifetime of the lamps at the required output level. The MIB-140D has the capability to maintain a constant lamp output for extended periods of time because it offers an intelligent feedback control that actually monitors the lamp output flux. If you want the most stable top lighting inspection booth the MIB-140D™ has no challengers!
The MIB-140D™ front panel provides “Power” push button switch for turn the system on/off, a “System in Regulation” LED that indicates that the lamps are being controlled properly by the power supply and a “Master Intensity Control”. The “Master Intensity Control” is a precision multi-turn potentiometer that allows the user to adjust the light intensity in the booth. Once the intensity is set to the desired level the MIB-3608 power supply which maintain the LED lamps at that output. The power supply will increase the current to the lamps as they age to maintain the desired intensity level. When the power can no longer provide adequate current to maintain the desired intensity the “System in Regulation” LED will extinguish.
MIB-140D with Digital Light Intensity Control
The MIB-140D™ is a step up from the standard analog control of the MIB-140 in that it provides Digital Light Intensity Control. This allows the user to select the desired light level in the inspection volume by simply entering the value in the operator interface. The system can change the light intensity fairly quickly and the photo-resistor feedback ensure that the booth will maintain it. In order to prevent unauthorized program changes the MIB-140™ units are equipped with a keyed Program/Run switch. The key must be in the Program mode in order to access the menus that allow changes to inspection parameters or light intensity.
