Xenon-sapphire lenses are designed for the web and surface inspections of flat-panel displays and printed circuit boards. Designed especially for 16k linescan cameras, they are optimized for the sensor’s 3.5-μm pixel size. They include a coating for 400–1000 nm. The aperture setting can be locked to deal with strong vibrations.

NEW PRODUCT PRESS RELEASE
Xenon-Sapphire: New 16k line scan lenses from SCHNEIDER KREUZNACH
BAD KREUZNACH
Schneider-Kreuznach has released its Xenon-Sapphire special lens. This lens series is designed for the highest requirements of web and surface inspections, and is the first choice for FPD and PCB inspection systems. These applications require line scan lenses with very high resolution in order to guarantee cost-efficient error detection in manufacturing and associated quality assurance processes.
When using high resolution cameras, the lens is often the limiting factor in the full utilisation of the theoretically possible system performance. The Xenon-Sapphire lenses were specially developed for use with new 16k line scan sensors. In their optical magnification range, they fully exploit all the possibilities of the very latest sensor generation.
Designed especially for 16k line scan cameras, they have excellent optical and mechanical properties. The high resolution of the lenses makes full use of the sensor’s 3.5 μm pixel size. Their excellent coating in the range from 400 to 1000 nm ensures optimal luminous efficacy. Precision mechanics and special mounting technology minimise loss of contrast due to manufacturing tolerances. To further improve contrast, the best azimuth can be set using the industrial-grade V78 interface. The aperture setting is lockable in order to ensure high imaging performance even in the presence of strong vibrations.
