1. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) for High-Density PCBs
Integration of the Fujinon HF8XA-1F-5M lens into automated optical inspection systems for evaluating high-density printed circuit boards. Mounted at a close working distance, the lens pairs with 2/3" 5MP machine vision cameras to scan electronic boards for surface-mount technology (SMD) placement errors, missing components, and solder joint defects.
Problem SolvedResolves the challenge of identifying microscopic manufacturing defects on densely packed electronics. The lens's 3.45 µm minimal pixel pitch and 5.00 MP resolution ensure highly detailed image capture of tiny components. Furthermore, the 0.10 m Minimal Object Distance (M.O.D.) and 8.0 mm focal length provide a wide 58.4° x 44.6° angle of view, allowing for compact machine design while scanning large PCB areas in a single rapid frame.

2. High-Speed Pharmaceutical Packaging Verification
Utilizing the lens on pharmaceutical conveyors to inspect blister packs for missing or broken pills and to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Optical Character Verification (OCV) on printed expiration dates and lot barcodes.
Problem SolvedOvercomes the issue of motion blur and low-light constraints on high-speed production lines. The fast F1.6 aperture allows for maximum light gathering, enabling extremely short camera exposure times to freeze fast-moving packages without requiring intense, heat-generating external strobe lighting. The 5.00 MP resolution guarantees that small printed text and barcodes are rendered with enough clarity for 100% reliable OCR/OCV sorting.

3. Robotic Vision Guidance for Automotive Bin Picking
Deploying the lens on robotic end-effectors or stationary overhead mounts to guide robotic arms in identifying, locating, and picking randomly oriented automotive components from bulk supply bins for assembly.
Problem SolvedAddresses the spatial constraints and high accuracy requirements of automated bin picking. The ultra-wide 58.4° x 44.6° angle of view provides full bin coverage from a short distance, minimizing the vertical clearance needed above the robotic cell. Paired with a 2/3" sensor, the high-resolution 5MP optics provide the precise edge-contrast necessary for vision algorithms to calculate 3D coordinates and part orientation accurately.
