Standard machine vision lenses are often too bulky for ultra-compact AOI machine enclosures. This application solves the spatial restriction while ensuring the system can still resolve microscopic solder defects, justified by the lens's 2.2 µm minimum pixel size and 6.00 MP resolution. The f/1.8 maximum aperture allows sufficient light gathering for the ultra-short exposure times required on fast-moving assembly lines, and the 0.2 m M.O.D. enables close-proximity camera mounting over the conveyor.

Heavy and elongated lenses mounted on robotic arms increase the payload and shift the center of gravity, causing vibration and reducing the arm's movement speed in tight factory cells. The lens's short 8.7 mm immersion depth and 9.4 mm back focal length solve this by maintaining a minimal physical footprint and weight. The 22.62° horizontal angle of view paired with the 0.2 m M.O.D. gives the robot the exact field of view needed to recognize part orientation just before actuation.

Benchtop diagnostic devices suffer from highly restricted internal enclosures but require uncompromised edge-to-edge optical clarity to prevent misdiagnosis of biological samples. The 16.0 mm focal length paired with a 1/2" maximum image circle perfectly covers high-resolution 1/1.8" optical class sensors without vignetting. Furthermore, the adjustable f/1.8 - 11 aperture range allows engineers to balance depth-of-field and light intake depending on the varying intensities of the machine's internal LED backlighting.
