OPTO Telecentric Lenses Up to 2/3" sensors
Optical components designed for use with sensors up to 2/3" in size, commonly used in machine vision and industrial inspection applications.
Opto Engineering (OPTO) offers a variety of lenses and optical components designed for use with sensors up to 2/3″ in size, commonly used in machine vision and industrial inspection applications. The 2/3″ sensor format is popular in machine vision cameras, and lenses in this category are designed to provide high-quality imaging performance across this sensor area.
Telecentric Lenses (TC Series, TC CORE Series)
Telecentric lenses are a cornerstone of precision machine vision and are heavily featured in OPTO’s product line for 2/3″ sensors.
TC Series (Bi-Telecentric Lenses):
Primary Function: Ideal for accurate measurement applications (metrology) due to their bi-telecentric design.
Key Advantage: Provides constant magnification regardless of the object’s distance from the lens (within the depth of field). This virtually eliminates perspective error, which is critical for precise dimensional measurement.
Optical Performance: Designed for high resolution (e.g., up to 5 MP – 2/3″) with nearly zero distortion and high telecentricity.
Use Cases: Measurement of mechanical parts, such as extruded profiles or tiny gears.
Enhancements: Can be paired with telecentric illuminators (e.g., LTCLHP) to further enhance depth of field and optical accuracy.
TC CORE / TC CORE PLUS Series (Ultra Compact Bi-Telecentric Lenses)
Key Feature: Revolutionary ultra-compact design, often up to 70% smaller than comparable double-sided telecentric lenses.
Advantage: Allows for significant downsizing of vision systems and easier integration into compact machines.
TC CORE PLUS: Specifically targets Large Field of View (FOV) in a super compact form factor, suitable for the latest generation $1/1.8″ and $2/3″ CMOS sensors.
Fixed Focal Length Lenses
These are traditional lenses offering high resolution and a fixed field of view at a given working distance.
EN5MP / EN-5RT Series (5 Megapixel Fixed Focal Length Lenses):
Resolution: Designed for high-resolution cameras up to 5 Megapixel with 2/3″ sensors.
Focal Lengths: Wide range of focal lengths (e.g., 8 mm to 75 mm) to cover various Field of View (FOV) and working distance requirements.
Use Cases: General machine vision tasks, including OCR/OCV (Optical Character Recognition/Verification), robot guidance, and inspection of critical samples like connectors or electronic components.
Design: Cost-effective and robust for industrial environments.
Specialty Lenses and Zoom Lenses
OPTO also provides specific lens types for unique inspection needs.
Macro Zoom Lenses (MCZM Series):
Lenses that allow for a variable magnification range while maintaining a long working distance.
Variable Focal Length Lenses (ENVF Series):
Lenses where the focal length can be varied, offering flexibility in setting the FOV.
Multi-View/Pericentric/Hypercentric Lenses (e.g., PCMP, PCPW, PCBP Series):
Function: Lenses designed to simultaneously image the sides and top of an object or to inspect internal walls and bottom surfaces (borescopes), eliminating the need for multiple camera setups.
Use Cases: Inspection of cylindrical or complex parts (vials, batteries, bores).
