New addition to the FUJINON Machine Vision lens lineup supporting 3 megapixels and 2/3″ format
FUJIFILM Europe GmbH has announced the release of five ‘Fujinon HF-XA Series’ high performance lenses as a new addition in the lineup for Machine Vision applications. These new lenses support 3 megapixels for 2/3″ sensor format and deliver edge-to-edge sharpness even on sensor sizes of up to 1/1.2″, which are increasingly used for Machine Vision applications. The majority of new camera sensors come with sizes larger than 2/3″ and require lenses that support these sizes as well. Therefore the new Fujinon lenses fit perfectly to the latest generation of camera sensors.
The Fujinon HF-XA series consists of five high performance fixed focal length lenses with focal lengths between 8mm and 35mm. The new lenses maintain their high resolving power of 3 megapixels from the image center to all corners even when the aperture is wide open under low light conditions and over changing working distances. This allows a flexible usage of the lenses in versatile applications with consistent image quality.
Each lens of the new series comes with a uniform outer diameter of only 29.5mm. The small size supports the advanced development of compact Machine Vision systems because the lens diameter is smaller than the size of many Machine Vision cameras. Furthermore, each lens has three holes for locking screws that allow for the iris and the focus ring to be adjusted from more flexible angles.
Main Features
- Three megapixel resolution: Maintain high resolution from the image center to the corners and fully resolve at the pixel pitch of 4.4μm for 2/3″ camera sensors – even with change of working distances and apertures
- Large format: Officially support a sensor size of 2/3″. Even on larger sensor sizes of up to 1/1.2″ the lenses are applicable and deliver images with a minimum of vignetting in the corners when using the short focal lengths
- Compact and lightweight body: All lenses in this series offer a uniform, compact size of φ29.5mm and are lightweight with a maximum mass of only 80g. Thereby the lenses contribute to reduce the overall system size
- Designed for installation convenience: Three screw holes each are provided on the iris ring and the focus ring. Choose the most convenient position for affixing iris and focus even when space is limited in imaging systems
