MACHINE VISION LENSES & FACTORY AUTOMATION LENSES

Are you having difficulty searching for the perfect lens?

Looking for the ideal optics solutions?

Customized SUPERIOR Lenses

Our high-performance Machine Vision Lenses are large selection of focal lengths, allowing to choose the perfect Factory Automation Lenses for your application, whether it’s inspection, measurement, sorting, or other machine vision tasks. These machine vision lenses are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern industrial imaging systems.

Machine Vision Lenses are used to view objects in imaging systems. Machine Vision Lenses are imaging components used in imaging systems to focus an image of an examined object onto a camera sensor. Depending on the lens, Machine Vision Lens can be used to remove parallax or perspective error or provide adjustable magnifications, field of views, or focal lengths. Machine Vision Lenses allow an object to be viewed in several ways to illustrate certain features or characteristics that may be desirable in certain applications.

Taking advantage of cutting-edge optical design expertise, SUPERIOR’s high-performance Machine Vision Lenses ensure accurate imaging performance for machine vision systems used in assembly and inspection processes on manufacturing lines. Machine Vision Lens / FA Lens offered by SUPERIOR performs its performance not only with legacy line sensor camera but also shows its best performance with emerging large format area sensor camera.

Fixed focal length lenses, commonly also referred to as factory automation lenses (FA) , C-Mount lenses, or prime lenses, are imaging lenses assemblies designed with a singular angular field of view and constant focal length. Fixed focal length lenses typically have a minimum working distance, an optimal working distance, and no maximum working distance. These lenses are available with a variety of mounts, anti-reflection (AR) coating, resolution options, and much more. For more information about fixed focal length lenses and how they differ from other imaging lenses including Machine Vision Lenses, Telecentric Lenses, IR Imaging Lenses, Large Format Lenses, Line Scan Lenses, UV Lenses and Variable Focal Length Lenses ect.

For each resolution level (12MP, 8MP, 5MP, 3MP, and VGA), Machine Vision Lenses provides an extensive line of high-performance lenses with different focal lengths and sensor sizes. Knowhow developed in our camera operations has been put to good use in creating high-quality products with an extremely low level of variation among individual lenses.

Applications Include: – Image capturing, barcode scanning, night-vision systems, medical systems, hi-speed imaging, machine and robotics vision systems.

Superior provides free of charge consulting about Lenses, and Optical Components. In addition we offer a wide range of optical products.

WHY machine vision?

It's cost effective and boosts productivity

Machine vision minimises manufacturing costs while continuously improving product quality and enhancing productivity. Machine vision systems can be found in just about every modern industry’s production procedure.

Increases operational safety

Less human involvement results in staff enjoying increased protection from hazardous environments. Vision systems result in less contamination from human activity in aseptic environments.

Compliancy is easier attained

Machine vision affords manufacturers compliance with strict regulations such as ISO, 21CFR Part 11, GS1 and other relevant data standards. This technology typically utilises CMOS sensors housed within industrial cameras with specialised optics to acquire images.

Efficient and surpasses the abilities of the human eye

Vision systems allow the inspection of hundreds, even thousands of parts per minute, with bespoke systems even able to inspect objects which are invisible to the human eye.

Easier tracking and tracing throughout your operation

Machine vision can be applied in both the industrial and non-industrial sector. Manufacturers are better equipped to track parts and products throughout the manufacturing process.

Shifts your operation into high gear

Machine vision offers speed, accuracy, repeatability and quantitative measurement. It works through the implementation of appropriate hardware components and software solutions.

Machine Vision Applications

Machine vision IDENTIFIES even the smallest features of an object

An optical character recognition (OCR) system reads the alphanumeric characters while optical character verification (OCV) systems confirm the presence of a character string.

Manufacturers use DPM applications, as they mark a character string or code directly onto a part, a technique used for error-proofing. This application also allows for better asset tracking, monitoring, quality control and authenticity verification. By mapping out the genealogy of a part, warranties and sub-assembly can be directly labelled.

Although barcodes are the widest accepted forms of retail checkout or inventory control, traceability information requires a much larger area than what barcode surfaces allow. The introduction of 2D codes like Data Matrix means more information can be included on virtually any finished product.

A machine vision system can be used for GAUGING

A vision system for gauging calculates distances between two or more points or geometric locations on an object to determine if these measurements meet specifications.

Machine vision computers
Machine vision offers GUIDANCE on location of parts and tools

Guidance means a vision system can locate the position and orientation of a part and report on its accuracy relating to a specified tolerance, angle and more. This information can then be used to measure and verify assembly. Guidance can also report the location and orientation of a part in 2D or 3D space, to the robot which locates that part, or a machine controller that aligns the part.

Guidance is critical for aligning to other vision tools as well. Parts can be presented to a camera in unknown orientations during the production process.

Machine vision reads:
  • Barcodes
  • Data Matrix Codes (2D)
  • Direct Part Marks (DPM)
  • Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
  • Optical Character Verification (OCV)
