What are the uses of industrial lenses?

Industrial lenses, also known as the 'mechanical eye', cannot escape the sharp gaze of industrial lenses due to the slightest difference in product lines.

Industrial lenses are a type of lens used for quality inspection, with the main battlefield being various production factories. They are mainly used to inspect the appearance quality of products moving at high speeds on the production line, as well as defects in delicate parts that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Industrial lenses can be used on ultra high speed assembly lines to check whether screw holes are aligned, whether bottle caps are properly closed, and whether parts are missing. Industrial lenses can instantly view a large number of products and efficiently identify defective products.

This requires industrial lenses to maintain high resolution at every corner, and to take clear pictures at any shooting interval and field of view.

Another part of the lenses are installed on the robotic arm. In order to minimize the impact on the production line, industrial lenses are required to have a compact and lightweight structure.

Industrial lenses are not only good helpers for quality control in factory production lines, but also serve as eyes for robots and AI to understand the world.

How to choose industrial lenses?

Camera parameters

The selection of industrial lenses first requires understanding the interface, target surface, and resolution size parameters of the industrial camera that is paired with it.

At present, the interfaces of industrial cameras include C port, CS port, F port, etc. Generally speaking, the interfaces are not compatible with each other, and it is necessary to select the lens corresponding to the interface.

However, industrial lenses with C interface can be compatible with CS interface industrial cameras after installing a 5mm adapter ring.

Target surface: The target surface compatible with the lens must be larger than the target surface of the camera, so that the image captured by the camera can be complete without dark corners.

The camera resolution will affect the choice of lens, and a high-resolution lens paired with a higher definition lens will have a better imaging effect.
