Theia’s 4K lenses with motorized zoom & focus are great for remote operation in automation and robotics applications. Their 300lp/mm resolution in visible and NIR enable high detail applications like OCR & ANPR.  The 4-10mm & 12-50mm focal range lenses measure just 64.5mm long by Ø59mm, the most compact of 1/1.7” format 4K lenses to facilitate use in tight envelopes. In P-iris or DC auto-iris & CS or D25 board mount; C mount on certain models.

FEATURED STORY
As applications become more demanding imaging lenses need more advanced assembly techniques to keep up.
One must be aware of the lens marketplace and be ready to research and apply a specialty lens when it will benefit a particular application.
NEWS & HEADLINES
FingerHaus uses a robotic cell with a gripper system in combination with a 3D vision system to automate the production of prefabricated houses.
Using a combination of hole and pericentric machine vision lenses enables inspection of glass bottles at speed of up to 120 parts per minute.
More and more types of vision applications at the edge are emerging such as those involving production inspection, autonomous robots, and medical devices.
The partnership will focus on complex inspection projects.
FEATURED WHITE PAPERS
Configurations are endless when modular hardware, custom FPGA design, parallel processing, multi-sensor and pixel/memory options combine in a single camera.
This comprehensive guide looks at some of the most common automotive manufacturing and assembly applications that rely on machine vision to maintain quality, safety, and production standards.
Smart cameras are mainly used for barcode reading, OCR, robotic guidance, and feature detection. Learn how smart cameras may be capable of tackling faster and more complicated applications that could not be managed before.
FROM OUR BUYER'S GUIDE
An IR lens is an optical lens designed to collimate, focus, or collect infrared light. At Avantier Inc., we produce high performance IR Optics such as IR lenses for use with near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectra. These Infrared lenses can be customized for specific areas of the...
