Industrial lenses are critical components in machine vision systems, determining how images are captured, how clear and distortion-free they are, and how accurately defects and features can be analyzed. The right choice of lens impacts the accuracy, repeatability, and reliability of any automated inspection or imaging application.
Fixed focal length lenses have a set field of view (FOV) and working distance, making them ideal for applications where object size and position are consistent.
Telecentric lenses are specialized lenses that eliminate perspective distortion and maintain consistent magnification regardless of the objects distance within the depth of field.
Macro lenses are designed for high magnification close-up imaging. They are suitable for inspecting small components such as electronic chips or surface defects at micron level.
These lenses offer a much wider FOV than standard lenses. Though they introduce significant distortion, they are useful when capturing a large area is more important than geometric accuracy.
Line scan lenses are designed for line scan cameras, capturing images one line at a time. These are critical for applications involving continuous materials such as metal sheets, films, and fabrics.
Ensure the lens supports the size of your image sensor.
Determines magnification and FOV.
The distance between lens and object.
Affects how much of the object remains in focus.
Choose low-distortion lenses for accurate measurements.
Common mounts include C-Mount, CS-Mount, and F-Mount.
