Vision & Control

Vision & Control imaging components allow machines to “see” – thus making an object’s hidden details clearly visible. Germany designed and manufactured optics, lighting and multi-camera system products shows their engineering passion. They offer a wide-ranging catalog that includes their vicotar BLUE Vision telecentric lenses that showcases their technology. Industries & applications often include glass quality control inspection, electronics quality control inspection, and where machine vision systems include cameras, lenses and lighting. Vision & Control supports their valued customers with imaging components that brings their work to the cutting-edge.

vicotar BLUE Vision Telecentric Lenses

Telecentric lenses for measurement, long distances, and for microscopes are offered in many varieties. Some of have integrated lighting, variable apertures and are vibration resistant. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us for additional telecentric lens models.

vicotar Telecentric Wide-Field Lenses

These FRESNEL technology wide-field lenses are significantly shorter and lighter than comparable glass lenses. They are ideal for large objects with deep shapes or cavities. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us for more additional wide-field lens models.

Telecentric

Lights

Telecentric lights from Vision Control are available both integrated and separate, ranging in diameter from 10 mm to 130 mm. Light colors include blue, infrared, white, red and green. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us for additional telecentric light models.

Ring Lights

Models vary with a LED lit luminous field diameter of 23 mm to 132 mm. Light colors include: blue, infrared, white, red and green. The light controller can be integrated or separated. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us for information on additional ring light models.

Dome Lights

LED dome light models include 60 mm or 84 mm luminous field diameters, and light colors of blue, infrared, white, red or green. The light controller can be integrated or separated. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us for information on additional dome light models.

Area & Bar Lights

Models vary with directed or diffused light, and some include vicolux smart light technology for use with smart light controllers which can be wall or rail mounted. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us for information on additional area & bar light models.

Spotlights

Models are available with narrow or flood light angles, and with LED light colors of blue, ultraviolet, infrared, NIR, SWIR, white, red and green. Light controllers are offered as integrated or separate components. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us for information on additional spotlight light models.

Coaxial Lights

There are two models available. The 30 mm x 30 mm model weighs 100 grams, and is optimized for 450 – 700 nm. The larger 60 mm x 60 mm model weighs 290 grams, and is also optimized for 450 – 700 nm. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us for information on additional coaxial light models.

Dark Field Lights

Models include three different size inner diameters – 30 mm, 60 mm and 128 mm. The lighting controller is integrated. The colors available include: blue, infrared, white and red. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us by phone or email for information on additional dark field light models.

Light Controllers

Digital lighting controllers provide stable lighting conditions and offer a high level of security against LED failure. They can be wall or rail mounted. They are easy to use and integrate into industrial operations. See the sample datasheet below, and contact us for information on additional light controller models.

Blue light allows the highest resolution to be achieved within the visible spectral range. A lens aperture can be reduced by one f-stop for the same resolution as in the infrared spectral range – doubling the depth of field. Within the visible spectrum monochromatic image examinations with blue light are most effective. The lenses of vicotar® BLUE Vision series lenses are specially designed for this spectral range. They deliver maximum resolution with the greatest possible depth of field.

Resolution and depth of field are often two optical parameters that work against each other. The more a lens is stepped down, the more blurred its image becomes due to the increased diffraction and consequently the less details can be resolved. Industrial image processing, however; demands both maximum resolution and the greatest possible depth of field.

The newly developed lens series “BLUE Vision” takes this demand into account. It takes advantage of the fact that the smaller the wavelength of the light used, the smaller the diffraction effects. This is reflected in the resolution in the opposite way: If the wavelength is halved, the resolution is doubled. For example, if a lens at f-number 10 produces a diffraction disc of 8 micrometers radius with red light (650 nm), then with blue light (450 nm) it is only 5.5 micrometers, so the blur is almost one third less – which corresponds to the ratio of the wavelengths.
