Telecentric lens technology is widely and deeply applied in the field of industrial automation, and its unique telecentric characteristics and high-precision imaging capabilities bring significant advantages to industrial automation. The following are some of the main applications of telecentric lens technology in the field of industrial automation:

1. Precise measurement and dimensional inspection

• High-precision Measurement: Telecentric lenses are able to provide high-precision measurements by keeping the image magnification constant over a certain range of object distances. This makes it widely used in the surface dimension measurement of cell phone parts, plastic parts, automotive parts, hardware parts, PCB boards and other products. By taking product images with telecentric lens and combining it with image processing technology, it can realize automated measurement and control of product dimensions and improve production efficiency and product quality.
• Avoid parallax problem: Traditional industrial lenses are prone to parallax when the object distance changes, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. The telecentric lens effectively avoids this problem through its special optical design, making the measurement results more reliable.

2. Surface defect detection

• High Resolution Imaging: Telecentric lenses are characterized by high resolution and are able to capture microscopic details of the product, such as surface scratches, dents, bumps and other defects. This makes it play an important role in surface defect detection.
• Automated Defect Detection: Combined with machine vision technology, telecentric lenses can realize automated defect detection and classification of products. By taking product images and analyzing them, defective products can be identified quickly and accurately, improving production efficiency and product quality.

3. Machine vision and automated production lines

• Product quality inspection: Telecentric lenses are used for product quality inspection in automated production lines. By capturing product images and analyzing them in real time, it can realize quick judgment of product quality and ensure that the products meet the standards.
• Visual guidance and localization: Telecentric lenses can also be used in combination with robots and other automation equipment to achieve visual guidance and localization. By recognizing the position and attitude of the product, it guides the robot to accurately carry out gripping, assembly and other operations.

4. Scientific research and the medical field

• Microscopic Imaging and Spectral Analysis: In the field of scientific research, telecentric lenses can provide high-resolution and high-contrast images for applications such as microscopic imaging and spectral analysis.
• Medical imaging: In the medical field, telecentric lenses are used in endoscopes, X-ray imaging and other medical equipment, helping to obtain clear images of internal tissues and assisting doctors in diagnosis and treatment.

5. Other applications

• Large Depth of Field Imaging: Telecentric lenses provide a large depth of field range, allowing objects at a distance to be clearly imaged. This helps simplify system design and increase imaging flexibility.
• Low Aberration and Anti-Reflection: The telecentric lens is designed to reduce optical aberrations and is equipped with multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings to enhance image brightness and clarity.

The application of telecentric lens technology in the field of industrial automation not only improves production efficiency and product quality, but also promotes the development of machine vision, precision measurement, scientific research and other fields. With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of application areas, telecentric lens technology will play a more important role in the field of industrial automation.
