Industrial Applications

1. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) for High-Density PCBs

Utilizing the lens in a high-speed AOI machine to inspect surface mount components on densely packed printed circuit boards.

Problem Solved

Space constraints in modern AOI machines often require cameras to be mounted very close to the PCB. The lens's 0.05 m M.O.D. and 8.0 mm focal length allow for close proximity mounting while maintaining a wide 44.7-degree horizontal angle of view to capture multiple components at once. The 2.20 micrometer minimal pixel pitch and 6.00 MP resolution class enable the reliable detection of microscopic soldering defects and bridge faults.

2. Robotic End-Effector Vision for Precision Pick-and-Place

Mounting the lens on a compact C-mount camera attached directly to a high-speed robotic arm for real-time part orientation and localization.

Problem Solved

Robotic end-effectors require compact, wide-angle optics to visualize the target part just before gripping, without requiring a long standoff distance that could impede robot movement. The 8.0 mm focal length and ultra-close 0.05 m Minimal Object Distance allow the camera to focus accurately right up to the grasping point. The fast f/1.8 aperture ensures sufficient light gathering during rapid movements, allowing for short exposure times to prevent motion blur.

3. Pharmaceutical Vial Micro-Crack Detection System

Integration into automated pharmaceutical packaging lines to inspect glass vials for microscopic cracks, structural defects, or foreign particulates at high throughput speeds.

Problem Solved

Inspecting small glass vials on fast-moving conveyor systems requires ultra-high-resolution imaging and rapid exposure times to prevent bottlenecking the line. The 6.00 MP resolution and 2.20 micrometer pixel pitch ensure that tiny micro-cracks are clearly resolved on a standard 1/2-inch sensor. Additionally, the wide f/1.8 aperture allows for extremely short exposure times, freezing the motion of high-speed carousels without sacrificing image brightness or contrast.
