Industrial Applications

1. High-Precision Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) of Dense PCB Assemblies

Utilizing the lens in high-end AOI systems to capture wide-area, ultra-high-resolution images of complex Printed Circuit Boards. The 30 MP resolution and large 1.7-inch image circle allow the system to inspect large sections of the board in a single shot, reducing scanning time.

Problem Solved

Overcomes the trade-off between field of view and resolution in PCB inspection by resolving minute solder defects using 3.45 um pixel pitch compatibility at a close 0.20 m Minimal Object Distance (M.O.D.).

2. Flat Panel Display (FPD) Pixel-Level Defect Detection

Integrating the CA-Series 50mm lens into flat panel display inspection stations to monitor OLED and MicroLED screens for dead pixels and mura defects. The TFL-mount accommodates large-format cameras required for broad screen coverage.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the need for extensive multi-camera setups by leveraging the 1.7-inch optical class and 50.0 mm focal length to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness across large display substrates.

3. High-Speed Pharmaceutical Packaging Serialization and Verification

Deployed over high-speed pharmaceutical conveyor lines to simultaneously read multiple high-density DataMatrix codes and verify blister pack seals. The wide aperture and large format optical design gather maximum light for short exposure times.

Problem Solved

Ensures zero-defect tracking in large batch medicine packaging by using the F1.8 aperture for fast, blur-free image acquisition, while the 25.2 by 19.0 degree angle of view covers multiple lanes simultaneously.
