    WLS70 in weld cell
    Challenge: Provide Bright and Even Illumination in a Dirty Environment

    A busy manufacturing plant used welding robots in work cells throughout their facility. The hard guards around the robotic work cells blocked overhead lighting, resulting in a dimly light area. Poor lighting made maintenance more challenging to complete quickly and effectively. Not only was the work cell dimly lit but it was in a dirty environment. Welding created very fine dust from the burning and melting of metal. Solid and sometimes heavy metal parts would cause damage to unprotected areas and objects. Workers required bright and uniform light for precision work. Managers of the manufacturing facility wanted to find a solution that offered even lighting, was sealed, and dustproof. Keep reading to learn how the WLS70 strip light provides bright, even illumination inside robotic weld cells.

    Solution: Sealed WLS70 Offers Uniform Light

    The manager installed WLS70 strip lights to the weld cells. They are sealed against dust and dirt ingress with a solid, one-piece tube, and gasketed seals. The uniform light came in sturdy aluminum housing and had a waterproof and dustproof IP65 rating. The tubular housing did not allow dust and dirt to settle on surfaces or block light; it was easy to wipe off and clean. High impact, polycarbonate outer housing, and internal aluminum backbone make the WLS70 incredibly impact resistant. With its IK10 impact rating, the sealed WLS70 was an essential addition to the weld cell, due to its ability to withstand challenging environments with heavy parts and machinery.

    Key Benefits

    Bright, Uniform Illumination

    Increase worker productivity and ergonomics with bright, high-quality, uniform light. The WLS70 is a high-efficacy strip light used for industrial work areas. AC models can be daisy-chained to power multiple lights and control intensity simultaneously via 0 V to 10 V. DC models also offer dimmable intensity with PWM. The uniform output of the WLS70 reduces shadows, improves visibility, and gives workers the light they need to work efficiently and without making mistakes. Utilize the WLS70’s 1350 lumens per foot with diffuse polycarbonate window to uniformly light target surfaces and show without hot spots. The bright, focused white light of the WLS70 improves worker productivity and has a low cost of ownership.

    Quick and Easy Installation

    WLS70 is simple to install with quick disconnect options. Its sturdy aluminum housing encased in a shatterproof, polycarbonate shell makes it ideal for harsh indoor and outdoor applications. The WLS70 is available in lengths of 300 mm, 600 mm, 900 mm, or 1200 mm.

    Energy-Efficient, Cost-Effective Design

    The WLS70 is exceptionally energy efficient for overall cost savings with over 140+ lumens/watt. Automatic temperature protection is built into the unit. If the WLS70 is used outside of the 50 ℃ spec, the light reduces output and dims to manage heat and protects product lifetime. Dimming is good for saving energy and workplace ergonomics. This rugged work light features rugged, waterproof, and dustproof IEC IP65-rated housing for use in challenging environments.
