Jena and Blomberg, Germany--Jenoptik and Phoenix Contact are cooperating on the development of intelligent LED factory and machine lights; this strategic collaboration between the two companies is based on a long-term development and supply agreement concluded in 2012.

The machine lights in the new PLDs (Phoenix lighting devices) range were unveiled at Phoenix Contact's booth at this year's Hannover Messe (April 2013; Hannover, Germany). The lighting, which is designed to be efficient and free of glare, includes a communication module that integrates the lights into a machine’s control unit. The lights can be integrated with protection class IP67 (meaning they're sealed against dust and can survive temporary immersion in water) into machines used in electronics production, printing technology, packaging, filling, and the processing of wood, metal, and plastics. They can be continuously dimmed or operated in stroboscope mode, and can be connected in series if necessary.

The agreement will run for a period of five years. Jenoptik is responsible for the development and production of the PLD machine lights under the agreement, integrating the electronics, LED lighting, optics, hardware, and software from design and development through prototype and series production. Jenoptik is also responsible for the entire supply chain management. Phoenix Contact distributes the products via its global sales network. Jenoptik also aims to develop more PLD lighting products.
