In the realm of industrial automation and intelligent inspection, the machine vision sector encompasses six innovative optical solutions—including zoom lenses, telecentric lenses, industrial lenses, and 360° inspection lenses—delivering exceptional performance to enable precision upgrades in smart manufacturing. As a professional optical solutions provider, POMEAS offers an in-depth analysis of the characteristics and application scenarios for these six mainstream machine vision lens categories.


ZOOM LENS enable flexible switching between field of view and magnification through adjustable focal lengths, making them ideal for scenarios requiring multi-magnification inspection. Applications include identifying minute defects in electronic components and measuring dimensions of precision parts. The zoom process eliminates the need for physical movement of the workpiece, significantly enhancing inspection efficiency.
Telecentric Lenses eliminate perspective distortion through specialized optical design, delivering low-distortion imaging and becoming the standard for high-precision inspection. Their parallel optical path characteristics excel in measurement applications such as optical component thickness inspection and metal component aperture measurement, effectively preventing dimensional misjudgment caused by field-of-view changes in traditional lenses.
Industrial Lenses serve as versatile optical components, offering high cost-effectiveness to meet most fundamental inspection requirements. Designed to balance imaging clarity with affordability, they are suitable for routine applications such as packaging and printing quality control, food sorting, and other standard scenarios, making them an economical choice for production line vision systems.
The 360° Inspection Lens achieves comprehensive imaging with no blind spots through its annular optical path design, delivering outstanding performance in cylindrical object inspection. For instance, in scenarios such as detecting surface defects on bearing balls or verifying label integrity on bottles, this lens eliminates the blind spot issues inherent in traditional single-angle inspection methods.
Line Scan Lenses are specifically designed for continuous moving targets, enabling high-speed, high-resolution imaging when paired with line scan cameras. In continuous material inspection applications such as printed material quality control and textile defect detection, their ultra-long depth of field and high-speed sampling capability ensure comprehensive, leak-proof inspection.
Liquid Lenses achieve focal length adjustment by controlling droplet shape through electrical current, combining rapid response with zero mechanical movement. They excel in dynamic scenarios requiring high-frequency zooming, such as biological sample microscopy and semiconductor chip dynamic inspection, where their microsecond-level focusing speed far surpasses traditional mechanical zoom lenses.
POMEAS remains committed to optical technology innovation, empowering customers to build efficient and reliable machine vision systems by precisely matching lens types to inspection requirements. Selecting the right lens is a critical step toward achieving precise inspection and enhancing production efficiency. We look forward to providing professional optical solutions that inject clear vision into your smart manufacturing journey.
