What Is The Main Purpose Of Industrial Lenses? What Types Of Commonly Used Industrial Lenses Are There?

1、What is the main purpose of industrial lenses?

Industrial lenses are lenses designed for industrial applications, mainly used for visual inspection, image recognition and machine vision applications in the industrial field.

Industrial lenses have the characteristics of high resolution, low distortion, high contrast and excellent color performance. They can provide clear and accurate images to meet the needs of precise detection and quality control in industrial production.

Industrial lenses are usually used with light sources, cameras, image processing software and other equipment to detect product surface defects, measure dimensions, detect stains or foreign objects, and other process processes to improve production efficiency and product quality. Industrial lenses play an important role in the production process of various industries such as automobiles, electronics, medicine, and food.

2、What types of commonly used industrial lenses are there?

Industrial lens is a vital component in machine vision system. The main function of industrial lens is optical imaging, which plays a very important role in the quality of imaging. There are many kinds of commonly used industrial lenses according to different classification methods.

①According to the different industrial lens interfaces, they can be divided into:

A.C-mount industrial lens: It is an industrial lens widely used in machine vision systems, with the advantages of light weight, small size, low price and a wide variety.

B.CS-mount industrial lens: The threaded connection of the CS-mount is the same as the C-mount, which is an internationally accepted standard interface. Industrial cameras with a CS-mount can connect to C-mount and CS-mount lenses, but if only a C-mount lens is used, a 5mm adapter ring is required; C-mount industrial cameras cannot use CS-mount lenses.

C.F-mount industrial lens: F-mount is the interface standard of many lens brands. Usually, when the ranging surface of an industrial camera is larger than 1 inch, an F-mount lens is required.

②According to the different focal lengths of industrial lenses, they can be divided into:

A.Fixed-focus industrial lens: fixed focal length, generally adjustable aperture, focus fine-tuning function, small working distance, and field of view angle changes with distance.

B.Zoom industrial lens: The focal length can be changed continuously, the size is larger than the fixed-focus lens, suitable for object changes, and the pixel quality is not as good as the fixed-focus lens.

③According to whether the magnification is variable, it can be divided into:

A.Fixed magnification industrial lens: fixed magnification, fixed working distance, no aperture, no need to adjust focus, low deformation rate, can be used with coaxial light source.

B.Variable magnification industrial lens: The magnification can be adjusted steplessly without changing the working distance. When the magnification changes, it still presents excellent image quality and has a complex structure.
