Computar Releases a 45MP and 20MP Ruggedized Lens Series
May 06, 2024, Mebane, NC—Computar®, the leading Japanese lens manufacturer in machine vision and surveillance operated by the CBC Group, announced a new line of ruggedized lenses for harsh environments: the 1.4", 45MP MPT-R Series and 1", 20MP MPZ-R Series.
The ruggedized lenses, expected to be in mass production soon, have been designed to counteract vibrations up to 10G and shocks up to 15G. They feature a floating design and deliver excellent image quality from minimum object distance to infinity and can be customized to your preferred F-stop. Available in multiple focal lengths and small quantities, you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
"As machine vision applications continue to expand into more demanding environments, maintaining optical integrity with vibrations, shocks, and temperature changes is critical," stated Terry Sekiya, Senior Vice President of Imaging and Information Technology at CBC AMERICA. "Our ruggedized lens series addresses this with a combination of design features, including redundant focus locks and bonding all elements in the lens body.
