Compact telecentric lenses suit volume inspection applications

Barrington, NJ. Edmund Optics is now offering its TECHSPEC compact telecentric lenses with six new models with working distances of 220 mm and 300 mm. Featuring a telecentric design across all magnification options, these versatile lenses offer a compact, cost-effective solution for a variety of machine-vision applications. A fixed aperture and lockable focus are suitable for implementation onto assembly lines and factory floors, as they will stay permanently fixed.

TECHSPEC Compact Telecentric Lenses are designed to be cost competitive in high-volume applications, with many different working distance/magnification options. Engineered to provide the specifications that users need at a competitive price point, these lenses are suited for applications ranging from single-unit inspection stations to high-volume implementation. TECHSPEC compact telecentric lenses provide telecentricity and low distortion, making them suitable for integration into gauging systems.

TECHSPEC compact telecentric lenses are available in 40 different models, with the six new longer working distance models. Lenses range from 0.5x to 8x magnification and working distances from 40 mm to 300 mm. All sizes and working distances are available in models with an in-line illumination option, which are designed with a port to connect a fiber optic light guide or LED module. The RoHS-compliant lenses feature telecentricities of <0.2° and distortions of <0.2%.

Edmund Optics will exhibit the lenses at The Vision Show May 3-5 in Boston.
