Hypercentric Lenses

TECHSPEC® Hypercentric Lenses provide a converging view of an object, focusing on the top and surrounding sides simultaneously, and are used to eliminate the need for multiple camera and imaging lens setups in machine vision inspection or identification applications. TECHSPEC® Hypercentric Lenses are ideal for inspecting parts such as pharmaceutical vials, batteries, or automotive parts. These imaging lenses provide a conical-shaped working area, and are optimized for use with monochromatic light. When 0.5 – 1.5mm spacers are positioned between the lens and camera, TECHSPEC® Hypercentric Lenses can also be used as long working distance borescopes, simultaneously focusing on the internal walls and bottom surface of an object. The borescope working distance is the area past the convergence point (CP) of the standard working area. The use of larger spacers increases the borescope focus distance.

Note: All specifications are defined at 660nm.
