NEW PCHI3M - Optics for 360° inner inspection with a single camera
POSTED 06/13/2023
?
The PCHI series expands with the new PCHI3M models designed for sensors up to 1.1" (17.5 mm diagonal). These new optics offer high image resolution, ideal for capturing more details such as small impurities in bottles or caps, or manufacturing defects/residues inside threaded holes in automotive components.
The new PCHI3M models are available with either manual focusing (adjustment via gear) or with new liquid lens technology that enables automatic focusing of samples of different shapes and sizes*.
* It is necessary to adjust the working distance.
PCHI3M-MF
Hole inspection optics for 1.1" sensors, manual focusing gear
PCHI3M-AF
Hole inspection optics for 1.1" sensors, liquid lens focusing
PCHI optics have been developed to easily inspect holes, cavities and containers. Unlike common optics or so-called “pinhole lenses” which can only image flat fields of view, hole inspection optics are specifically designed to image both the bottom of a hole and its vertical walls.
Thanks to the large view angle (>82°) and innovative optical design, these lenses are compatible with a wide range of object diameters and thicknesses. Hole inspection optics are the perfect solution to inspect a variety of different object shapes such as cylinders, cones, holes, bottles or threaded objects.
Perfect focusing of holed objects Both the walls and the bottom of a cavity are imaged in high resolution
Cavity inspection from the outside
No need to put an optical probe into the hole
Very high depth of field
Objects featuring different shapes and dimensions can be imaged by the same lens
Integration with liquid lens technology
PCHI AF allows for an extremely fast and repeatable change in focus

PCHI3M-AF can be mounted onto a robotic arm and quickly refocused to inspect various cavity diameters in complex mechanical parts.
PCHI3M-AF can be used to inspect in rapid sequence the neck and bottom/sides of a bottle. A working distance change might be necessary to achieve best results.
