LensConnect Telecentric Lenses – Precision and Remote Control for Machine Vision
In the world of industrial image inspection and machine vision systems, optical quality alone is no longer enough. Today’s applications require components that combine high resolution, measurement accuracy, and seamless system integration. The LensConnect Telecentric lens series is designed to meet these demands, offering precise telecentric imaging together with advanced remote operation capabilities.
Expansion of the LensConnect Series
The LensConnect series has been expanded to include Telecentric Lenses, extending the portfolio to applications that require high-precision measurement and distortion-free imaging. This addition brings telecentric optics into the LensConnect family, combining proven optical performance with remote focus control and easy system integration.
Why Telecentricity Matters
Telecentric lenses eliminate perspective distortion, ensuring that objects maintain the same size in the image regardless of their distance from the lens. This characteristic is essential for accurate dimensional measurement, shape inspection, and positioning tasks, where even minimal distortion can lead to incorrect results.
LensConnect Telecentric lenses are therefore an ideal choice for applications requiring high repeatability and precision, such as quality control, metrology, and automated inspection systems.
Key Product Features
Remote Focus Operation
LensConnect Telecentric lenses can be operated remotely via a compatible camera. Focus adjustment is controlled directly through the system interface, eliminating the need for manual intervention and enabling easy integration into automated production environments.
Maintained Telecentricity During Focus Adjustment
Due to the linear change in magnification, optical performance remains consistent during focus adjustment, ensuring stable measurement accuracy across different object heights and depths.
High-Resolution Sensor Compatibility
The lenses are optimized for high-resolution imaging systems and are compatible with sensors featuring pixel sizes down to 2.7 µm, delivering sharp, detailed images suitable for demanding inspection tasks.
Flexible Magnification Options
The lens series supports standard optical magnifications of 0.25×, 0.5×, 1×, and 2×, with the possibility of custom magnification adaptation (e.g. 0.2×, 0.3×, 1.x, or 3.0×).
This flexibility allows system designers to precisely match field of view and resolution requirements.
Multiple Interface Options
To support various system architectures, the lenses offer two interface types: I2C and USB, ensuring straightforward communication and control within different machine vision platforms. And later in 2026 also RS-Types.
Typical Applications
The LensConnect Telecentric series is well suited for a wide range of industrial and vision-based applications, including:
- Automated quality inspection on production lines
- Precision measurement and metrology systems
- Semiconductor and PCB inspection
- Robotics and advanced vision-guided automation
In each case, the combination of telecentric imaging, high resolution, and remote focus control improves inspection accuracy while enhancing system efficiency.
LensConnect Telecentric lenses deliver a powerful combination of optical precision, system flexibility, and automation-ready design. By maintaining telecentricity during focus adjustment and supporting remote operation, they enable reliable, repeatable measurements in today’s most demanding machine vision applications.
These lenses are an ideal solution for engineers and integrators seeking high-performance telecentric optics that seamlessly integrate into modern industrial systems.
