Telecentric lenses are the key component of accurate machine vision measurement systems. Unlike conventional lenses, optical magnification remains constant within the field of view and depth of field. This is especially important on the manufacturing floor, where part fixtures and camera triggers are seldom 100% repeatable.
This lens is telecentric on both ends, hence the term “bi-telecentric”. With lenses only telecentric in object space, a small dot of light grows larger and becomes elliptical as it moves from the image sensor’s center towards its edge. This bi-telecentric lens keeps the principal rays parallel not only when entering but also when exiting the lens. The result is greater image precision.
Compatible even with high resolution/small pixel detectors, this lens features extremely low distortion and high resolution.
The working distance (measured between the front of the lens and your object) should be kept within +/- 5% of the nominal value shown below for maximum resolution and minimum distortion. The f-number shown below is the “working” or “real” f-number of the lens when used as a macro. Please contact us if you need a lens having a smaller aperture.
KEY ADVANTAGES
>The Opto Engineering TCCP (part of the TC CORE PLUS) series telecentric lenses are up to 40% shorter than other telecentric lenses. They are designed to image large FOVs in a reduced space.
>The working distance has has been reduced to minimize system dimensions.
>The lenses integrate a mounting flange for easy mounting without additional clamps.
The TC CORE PLUS series is a range of large FOV telecentric lenses for area scan cameras, specifically designed for the latest generation 1/1.8” and 2/3” CMOS sensors.
Their patent-pending optical design, inspired by catadioptric telescopes, allows for large FOV imaging while keeping the overall footprint compact.
The length and working distance of a telecentric lens strongly impacts the size of a vision system. This is especially critical when a large FOV telecentric lens is used with a telecentric illuminator, as the overall system dimensions are doubled. For this reason, the working distance of TC CORE PLUS lenses has been optimized to make a measurement system as compact as possible.
