Compact Fixed Focal Length Lenses Ideal for Industrial Machine Vision Applications

JDSU 63xx Series high-brightness laser diodes

Edmund Optics® (EO), a provider of optical components, introduces TECHSPEC® Compact Fixed Focal Length Lenses. Designed for use in machine vision applications, TECHSPEC Compact Fixed Focal Length lenses are ideally suited for factory automation, inspection or qualification. The lenses have been optically designed with the specific working distance and unique resolution requirements of factory automation and inspection in mind. These high performance lenses feature large maximum apertures, so they can be used in even the most restrictive lighting conditions. Each lens includes a broadband anti-reflection coating, which increases transmission by up to 12% over standard MgF2 coatings on competitive lenses. They are available in focal lengths of 8.5 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 25 mm and 35 mm and support up to 2/3 inch sensors.

Edmund Optics’ TECHSPEC Compact Fixed Focal Length Lenses feature a locking iris and include a convenient focus adjustment with recessed set screws to prevent unintentional lens adjustments. The lenses are packaged in a compact, rugged housing – giving the user greater flexibility in space-constrained applications. Edmund Optics manufactures each lens to a high tolerance, resulting in superior imaging performance and low lens-to-lens variation, assuring easy installation into multiple systems, from the simplest to the most complex applications.

For all of your factory automation optics needs, Edmund Optics’ TECHSPEC Compact Fixed Focal Length Lenses provide an industry-leading price-to-performance ratio, combining high optical performance, industrial features and compact size with excellent value.
