Italy's Opto Engineering Srl has developed the PCCD Series of pericentric lenses for applications that require 360° side-view imaging of small objects.
Their innovative optical design, based on a catadioptric system, makes it possible to image small objects with diameters as small as 7 mm, says the firm. The sides of the object are imaged through the catadioptric system, while the top surface is imaged directly onto the centre of the detector.
The compactness and high-resolution performance of these lenses make them ideal for inspecting components such as pharmaceutical containers, plastic caps, pre-forms, bottle necks, screws and other threaded objects.
Key advantages of these lenses include:
*360° imaging of small objects - parts down to 7.5 mm in diameter can be imaged;
*a very wide lateral viewing angle - object side-viewing angle approaches 45°;
*compactness - the lens can be easily integrated in any system; and
*perfect chromatic correction, for RGB cameras and colour inspection applications.
