Machine Vision - Lenses

In the world of machine vision systems, lenses act as the primary gateway between the physical world and the digital domain. These hi-tech optical instruments are responsible for capturing and focusing light on the image sensor, effectively translating the real-world scene into a digital form that the machine vision system can understand and analyse. The functionality of a machine vision system depends heavily upon the quality and suitability of the chosen lens. Initially, the machine vision lens influences image resolution and clarity, directly impacting the system's ability to detect fine details and subtle variations. Then, the lens's optical ability, like focal length, field of view, and depth of field, dictate the range of objects and scenes that can be effectively imaged. Lastly, the lens's design can reduce or introduce optical distortions, which can impact the precision of measurements and the reliability of object recognition algorithms.

Available Machine Vision – Lens Types

Our innovative range of top-line machine vision lenses from world-renowned brands include:

• Fixed-Focal Lenses: These lenses feature a fixed focal length, providing a specific field of view and magnification properties.
• Telecentric Lenses have a unique optical layout that reduces viewpoint distortion. This attribute makes them excellent for applications requiring precise measurements and dimensional analysis.
• Zoom Lenses: These lenses provide adjustable focal lengths for flexible magnification and field of view. They are valuable components for deep inspections of objects of different sizes.
• Macro Lenses are primarily designed for close-up imaging. They offer higher magnifications and short operating distances, allowing for detailed inspection of tiny objects.
• Specialised Lenses: These lenses are tailored for specific applications, such as liquid lenses, backlighting lenses, and infrared lenses.
