systems, make great demands on the robustness and focusing features of an inspection system. Wherever compact equipment and high speed are needed in object detection, special lenses are required – lenses that combine excellent refocusing capabilities with a ruggedness that ensures a long service life, even in harsh environments.

The new flo.x 2.8/3.35 mm lens developed by Qioptiq with internal high-speed liquid lens refocusing maintains a constant image quality over a large object distance range. The first lens in this new series is extremely compact and features virtually constant high resolution, excellent color correction, and minimal brightness drop over a long service life. The autofocus function is implemented entirely without moving parts.

The new flo.x inspection lens series exemplifies Qioptiq's own high standards, with the sophisticated electronic focusing optics packaged in a compact housing – just 22 mm long with a diameter of 16 mm – that can withstand even the roughest conditions. The flo.x is ideal for industrial inspection applications that require not only a long service life of all components, but also maximum image quality with a refocus function. The short focal length of 3.35 mm is perfect for the 4 mm image diameter and thus for a ¼" sensor. The fixed aperture makes the lens easy to use in even the tightest spaces while helping to prevent operator error.

Like all inspection lenses from Qioptiq, the flo.x can be integrated in tailored solutions for specific customer requirements.
