New Automated Method For Machine Vision Lens Selection
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK -- April 11, 2006 – Do you
have a Machine Vision application that needs an optical system, but do
not know which lens to choose? Try Navitar's Optical Wizard today. You
no longer need an Optical Engineering degree to choose lenses because
Navitar has harnessed its engineering expertise into the easy-to-use Optical
Wizard. This new patent-pending lens selector generates basic and customized
solutions from your input. It is available 24/7 at www.opticalwizard.com.
With the Optical Wizard, there is no need to learn complex formulas and
"how to" technical data. Lens selection is easy. You simply enter the
fundamental parameters of an imaging system such as Field of View (FOV),
the Working Distance (the distance from the front of the lens to the object
being inspected), the Camera Format/Sensor size, and the type of camera
mount. For applications where the ability to resolve fine detail is critical,
the Optical Wizard enables you to enter the camera pixel size.
If you require a zoom lens, the Wizard computes the formulas for changing
the Numerical Aperture with zoom setting and the impact of coaxial illumination
allowable on image format and many other complex algorithms.
Once you enter your application data, the Optical Wizard quickly assesses
your input and makes all the complex calculations for you. The Optical
Wizard provides you various lens choices from all the best-in-class lenses
from leading manufacturers such as Navitar, Melles Griot, Rodenstock,
Fujinon, Mitutoyo, and others. The Wizard tells you exactly how fine a
detail the selected lenses will let you resolve, the magnification ranges,
working distance, field coverage, and depth of field. You can also review
outline drawings and pricing.
Once you have selected a basic lens system, you have the option to customize
it. The Optical Wizard offers a step-by-step process for adding motorization,
lighting, polarization and various mechanical features to create an online
solution tailored to your specific needs.
Navitar enables you to buy online 24/7 or have one of their hundreds
of integration partners help you with further integration by clicking
on the "Buy Local" button.
If you would like to learn about the technology involved in your vision
system, the Optical Wizard provides technical background information.
Whenever you see the question mark symbol, click on it to find out more
about a particular subject.
Save time selecting your next optical system by using Navitar's Optical
Wizard, the new system that automates the process of lens selection.
