Designed for use with 1/2in or 1/3rdin CCD cameras a high performance TV Macro Zoom Lens benefit a range of surface inspection tasks including PCB inspection and components production monitoring.

Moritex, a leading international manufacturer of fibre optic illumination and optical lensing systems for various machine vision and inspection applications, has announced new additions to its comprehensive selection of Macro Zoom Lenses. Designed for use with 1/2in or 1/3rdin CCD cameras the high performance TV Macro Zoom Lens (MLZ) range are the perfect choice for a range of surface inspection tasks including semiconductor and LCD manufacture, PCB inspection, electronic components production monitoring and alignment applications. Weighing less than 100g the MLZ lens series are compact, versatile 4:1 zoom lenses designed for integration into small spaces.

Offering 173mm of working distance, MLZ lenses provide plenty of room between the lens and the subject for robotic arms, machinery etc Motorised versions of the MLZ lens series are available for integration into highly automated manufacturing equipment.

Available in a choice of eight different lens magnifications (0.02 x to 2.4x), with or without integrated coaxial episcopic illumination, a wide range of subjects can be imaged given the 10:1 zoom ratio.

Advanced telecentric optical design ensures high resolution, high contrast images free of TV distortion.
