Strong and stable: Industrial imaging lenses get robust upgrade

摘要

Imaging lenses used in industrial machine vision applications often have special requirements beyond those of standard imaging lenses. In areas like factory automation, robotics and industrial inspection lenses need to be resistant to demanding environments involving vibration, shock, temperature changes and contaminants. In recent years new ruggedised lenses from Edmund Optics have been designed to meet these challenges. There are three distinct types available: industrial ruggedisation, Ingress protection, and stability ruggedisation. This article will outline the differences.
