In modern industrial automation production, measurement efficiency and accuracy directly impact production cycle times and product quality. As the core optical component of machine vision systems, telecentric lenses leverage their unique optical properties to significantly enhance measurement solution efficiency, making them a key driver in the advancement of smart manufacturing.


The Core Mechanism of Telephoto Lenses for Enhancing Efficiency
1. Eliminating perspective distortion and reducing calibration time represent the most direct efficiency gains offered by telecentric lenses. With traditional lenses, variations in the distance between the object and the lens during dimensional measurement cause changes in magnification, necessitating frequent recalibration and compensation calculations. In contrast, the parallel optical path design of telecentric lenses ensures that shifts in object position within the depth of field do not alter magnification, significantly reducing the frequency and time costs associated with system calibration. In actual production, this enables equipment to operate continuously for longer periods without interruption, improving equipment utilization.
2. Providing consistent imaging and reducing misjudgment rates further enhances inspection process efficiency. In component inspection, telecentric lenses deliver sharp-edged, distortion-free images that maintain consistent imaging quality even for reflective surfaces or objects with complex geometries. This stability significantly reduces misjudgments and re-inspections caused by image quality issues, enabling automated inspection systems to operate with higher confidence and minimizing the need for manual intervention.
3. Support for high-speed automation systems highlights the dynamic efficiency advantages of telecentric lenses. Modern production lines often require vision systems to complete inspection and decision-making within milliseconds. The high light transmission and superior optical performance of telecentric lenses, combined with appropriate illumination solutions, enable the capture of high-quality images within short exposure times, meeting the inspection rhythm demands of high-speed production lines.
POMEAS Telecentric Lens
Traditional visual systems required 3.2 seconds to inspect a single product component, with a misjudgment rate as high as 5% due to image distortion. This necessitated extensive manual re-inspection, severely limiting production capacity growth. After implementing the POMEAS telecentric lens solution, the enterprise achieved comprehensive efficiency improvements:
Scheme Optimization Design:The POMEAS technical team recommended a 0.5x telecentric lens paired with coaxial illumination based on the characteristics of the customer's workpiece. This combination completely eliminates reflective interference from metal surfaces while ensuring consistent magnification during measurements at varying heights.
The POMEAS telecentric lens employs a specialized optical design and coating process to deliver exceptional resolution while maintaining a large depth of field. Its unique mechanical structure ensures long-term stability, minimizing maintenance downtime caused by lens performance drift.
