1. Embedded AOI for Precision Metal Processing and PCB Assembly
Integrating a compact machine vision system using the Lensation B5M4020 to perform high-speed quality control in precision manufacturing [1.3]. The wide angle of view (91.2° x 68.4°) combined with a minimal object distance of 0.30 m allows the camera to be mounted close to the inspection line. The 5.00 MP resolution and 2.20 µm pixel pitch provide the microscopic clarity needed to detect tiny defects.
Problem SolvedSolves the space limitation issue in modern assembly lines where bulky vision systems cannot fit. By utilizing the ultra-compact S-mount format and 4.0 mm focal length, engineers achieve comprehensive inline inspection without increasing the machine footprint.

2. Obstacle Avoidance for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
Equipping industrial AMRs with stereoscopic vision utilizing the AE00362 lens. The fast F2.0 aperture ensures reliable machine vision performance even in dimly lit warehouse environments. The expansive 114.0° diagonal angle of view provides a broad field of vision to detect dynamic obstacles.
Problem SolvedAMRs often struggle with dead zones and low-light navigation. The combination of the wide 91.2° horizontal angle of view and 0.30 m minimal object distance ensures the robot detects objects immediately in its path to prevent collisions. The threaded S-mount ensures optical focus stability against continuous chassis vibrations.

3. UAV Drone Structural Inspection of Critical Infrastructure
Deploying the B5M4020 lens on a lightweight drone payload for the inspection of critical infrastructure such as energy plants and bridges. It pairs perfectly with standard lightweight 1/2.5 inch CMOS sensors, while the 4.0 mm focal length gives a wide perspective to capture large structural sections safely.
Problem SolvedDrones must maximize image quality while minimizing payload weight to extend flight time. The S-mount design drastically reduces weight compared to C-mount lenses. The 5.00 MP resolution and F2.0 aperture allow for fast shutter speeds, preventing motion blur from drone vibrations and reliably capturing hairline cracks.
