Opto Engineering HC 360° Hypercentric 360° lenses
Inspect the inner sides and bottom of hollow objects simultaneously

Opto Engineering HC 360° Hypercentric lens Opto Engineering HC 360° hypercentric lenses are designed for 1.1" sensors for hollow object inspection. The optical path of the rays pass through the narrow openings of hollow objects (pipes, bottles, cans, and vials, etc.) without the need to rotate an object, use a probe, or use multi-camera configurations. HC hypercentric lenses are used in numerous inspection applications including beverage, pharmaceutical,and cosmetics industries.

HC Lens Features

  • Inspect hollow objects from the outside with one camera
  • No need to rotate or use a probe for inspection
  • Very high field of depth and flexibility
  • Wide viewing angle, manual focus adjustment and variable iris

Opto Engineering 360° lenses are high quality lenses with superb optical performance. They are specifically designed for 360° inspection of objects, and are widely-used in machine vision applications such as automotive, pharmaceutical, and beverage inspection. There are many 360° lenses and options. Our Sales Engineers can provide expert advice and guidance on selecting the right lens for your machine vision 360° imaging application.

Notes

  1. Working distance: distance between the front end of the mechanics and the object.
  2. Distance between the front end of the mechanics and the point where all the optical rays coming from the object converge (entrance pupil).
  3. Measured from the front end of the mechanics to the camera flange.

HCBI & HCSI inspection example

HC series hypercentric lenses are available in two different versions:

  1. HCBIxxx models are designed for inspection of the bottom of hollow objects in high resolution. A portion of the side wall can also be inspected by adjusting the f/N of the lens.
  2. HCSIxxx models are designed for side and bottom inspection to image both the bottom and the inner walls of hollow object with perfect focus.
