Computar Optics ViSWIR Hyper-Apo Series is Winner of the Inspect Award 2022 for Vision

With the ViSWIR HYPER-APO, it is unnecessary to adjust focus for different wavelengths. Adopting an APO floating design reduces the focus shift at any wavelength and any working distance.

October 5, 2021 - Cary, NC - Computar, the leading Japanese lens manufacturer in surveillance and machine vision, operated by the CBC Group, announced today Computar's ViSWIR Hyper / Multi-Spectral Lens Series was awarded 1st place in Vision by the Inspect Awards. This week, the winners were announced at Vision 2021, the world's leading trade fair for machine vision.


"What makes this series on the forefront of vision technology is the use of ultra-low dispersion glass and low, partial-dispersion glass paired with superior design technology developed from Computar's extensive optics experience. This paring minimizes the focus shift within a few micron millimeter at a super wide range of wavelengths." according to Mr. Katsuya Hirano, Chief Optical Designer, CBC Group. "With this, spectral imaging is achievable with a single sensor camera by simply syncing the lighting."

With ViSWIR HYPER-APO, it is unnecessary to adjust focus for different wavelengths. Adopting an APO floating design reduces the focus shift at any wavelength and any working distance. This function makes the series ideal for multiple applications, including machine vision, UAV, and remote sensing. The ViSWIR lenses achieve a fully-corrected focus shift in the visible and SWIR range (400nm-1,700nm). Learn more at computar.com/ViSWIR.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
