Opal lens for the Industry

This C-Mount lens with 17.6 mm image circle and 400-1000 nm broadband AR coating is designed for pixel sizes down to 2.4 µm. The anti-shading design prevents shading caused by micro lenses and results in a very even light distribution. A robust metal housing ensures a stable image position even under harsh environmental conditions.

Applications & Markets of the OPAL Lens

>>>Machine Vision

Machine vision enables machines to recognize objects, patterns and other visual features through the integration of lenses and image processing.

>>>Automated Optical Inspection

Automated optical inspection (AOI) uses cameras and software to inspect and analyze components for defects in a manufacturing process.

>>>3D and 2D Measurement

3D and 2D measurement uses cameras and image processing to accurately measure the dimensions and geometry of objects.

>>>Robotic Vision

Robotic vision can identify objects, measure distances and track motion, enabling robots to perform complex tasks autonomously.

Environmental Facts of the OPAL lenses

Our OPAL compact lens are tested to DIN standards to ensure they meet stringent environmental requirements. These tests check the durability of the compact lenses, their resistance to temperature changes and their ability to withstand shock tests and sinusoidal vibration. This ensures that the industrial lenses are up to the task in demanding industrial applications such as machine vision or automated optical inspection, providing consistent performance and reliability over time.
