Machine Vision Lenses - Case Studies

A manufacturer of 3D measurement equipment: Company D

The optical axis shift causes an error in inspections. Why does a manufacturer that requires high accuracy would opt for reliability?

The Company D, a manufacturer that delivers 3D measurement equipment to various types of businesses, performs inspections and precise calibration of all lenses used for the equipment before providing them to users. However, the optical axis of lens may be shifted by shock or vibration after operation startup, thereby hindering accurate inspections. Therefore, selecting a lens with shock-resistant and anti-vibration functions after operation startup is a challenge.
