1. High-Speed Robotic Arm Surface Defect Inspection
Utilizing the Fujinon HF16XA-1F-5M lens mounted to a 2/3-inch 5MP machine vision camera on an industrial 6-axis robot. The heavy-duty design of the 1F series features a counter-nut focus lock and fixed iris plates, preventing any optical shifting or degradation during the aggressive acceleration and deceleration of the robotic arm. The 3.45 µm minimal pixel pitch and 5.00 MP resolution capture high-fidelity details of automotive parts, while the 16.0 mm focal length provides the optimal field of view for scanning large, curved metal surfaces [1.6].
Problem SolvedCameras mounted on fast-moving robotic arms suffer from focus and iris drift due to extreme mechanical shocks and continuous vibration, leading to blurred imaging and false defect reporting over time.

2. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) for PCB Solder Paste
The HF16XA-1F-5M is integrated into the scanning gantry of a high-throughput AOI machine. Its exceptionally short Minimal Object Distance (M.O.D.) of 0.10 m allows the camera head to hover directly over densely packed printed circuit boards. Combined with the 31.4° x 23.7° Angle of view and 3.45 µm minimal pixel pitch, the lens meticulously resolves microscopic solder anomalies across the entire 2/3" maximal image circle. The rigid construction with no internal moving parts maintains perfect optical alignment during the relentless X-Y gantry traversing.
Problem SolvedDetecting microscopic solder bridge defects on high-density PCBs requires close-proximity imaging without sacrificing edge-to-edge sharpness, all while enduring the continuous micro-vibrations of a high-speed X-Y scanning gantry.

3. Centrifugal Particulate Inspection in Pharmaceutical Vials
Deployed inside pharmaceutical sorting machines, the Fujinon HF16XA-1F-5M captures images of vials immediately after high-speed spin-stopping to detect swirling glass or metal particles. The 10.66 mm back focal length and 16.0 mm focal length deliver sharp, low-distortion images of the liquid contents. The fixed iris and heavy-duty locking mechanism ensure the lens withstands high-frequency centrifugal vibrations, while the 5.00 MP resolution precisely identifies foreign particulates down to the micron level.
Problem SolvedHigh-speed spinning and abrupt stopping of pharmaceutical vials for liquid contamination inspection generates severe, continuous mechanical vibrations, which easily unseats the focus and aperture settings of standard machine vision lenses.
