Standard optical inspection setups lack the Z-axis clearance for confined in-line assembly machines. This lens solves the issue by operating at an incredibly close Minimal object distance (M.O.D.) of just 0.01 m, allowing the module to hover mere millimeters above the board while still resolving microscopic details using its 8.40 MP optical resolution.

Monitoring wide webs typically requires expensive line-scan cameras or multi-camera arrays to capture the full width. The highly unique Angle of view (133.4° x 9.6° x 169.0°) provides an extreme panoramic horizontal sweep combined with a narrow vertical slice, effectively simulating a line-scan footprint. Coupled with a 2.0 mm focal length, it enables full-width coverage even in low-clearance inspection tunnels.

In dark enclosed scanning stations, using visible illumination can cause annoying glare for the user. Because this lens has no IR cut filter, it can be paired with invisible 850nm or 940nm IR LEDs. Its F/2.65 aperture ensures adequate light gathering, while the extreme 0.01 m M.O.D. guarantees sharp focus even when a ticket or smartphone screen is pressed directly against the scanning window.
