In today’s competitive landscape of machine vision, automation, and quality control, precision is not optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re inspecting microchips, verifying component dimensions, or capturing high-resolution images for measurement, even the smallest deviation can impact outcomes. That’s why professionals across industries rely on C Mount Telecentric Lenses and Telecentric Imaging Lenses to deliver unmatched accuracy and repeatability.

What is a Telecentric Imaging Lens?

A telecentric imaging lens is a custom optical lens designed to maintain constant image magnification, independent of the object distance from the lens. Telecentric lenses, unlike conventional lenses, do not add perspective distortion; they eliminate parallax error and deliver distortion-free imagery — even if objects move within the field of view.
This places telecentric lenses at the heart of applications where accuracy in measurement, dimensions, and real-time inspection is demanded.

Why Choose a C Mount Telecentric Lens?

The C Mount Telecentric Lens is designed to maximise use of standard C-mount industrial cameras, and it is a convenient option for high-precision imaging. The main advantages are:

• ✅ Reliable Magnification — Guarantees measurement accuracy irrespective of object distance.
• ✅ Minimal Optical Distortion — Suitable for high-accuracy inspection and metrology applications.
• ✅ Simple Integration — Compatible with many industrial C-mount cameras.
•✅ Robust Construction — Built to meet long-term requirements in factory settings.

Top Applications of Telecentric Lenses

Telecentric image lenses are extensively used in a variety of industries:

  • Manufacturing & Assembly Lines — Accurate part inspection
    • Semiconductor & PCB Inspection — Close-up, zero-distortion imaging
    • Medical Devices & Lab Automation — High-detail diagnostics and quality inspection
    • Textile, Printing & Packaging — Checking for uniformity and flaws
    • Robotics & Automation Systems — Vision-guided automation & control

Types of Telecentric Imaging Lenses

Designed to satisfy diversified industrial needs, telecentric lenses come in three fundamental types:
1.Object-Space Telecentric Lenses
Perfom with stable magnification irrespective of object movement or distance.
2.Image-Space Telecentric Lenses
Deliver precise, angle-independent light capture at the sensor level — excellent for color and radiometric measurements.
3.Bi-Telecentric Lenses
Blend the strengths of both for the most accurate imaging in demanding applications.

How to Select the Right Telecentric Lens

Selecting the appropriate C Mount Telecentric Lens is based on a number of factors:

•Field of View (FOV) — The portion of the scene that can be imaged by the lens.
•Working Distance — Object-to-lens distance.
•Sensor Size Compatibility — Align with your camera’s specs.
•Magnification Needs — Determine the precision and level of detail needed.
•Application Environment — Account for temperature, vibration, and exposure.
