Greg Blackman reports on the latest lens technology presented during Vision Stuttgart, including optics designed to withstand shock
Stemmer Imaging’s series of technology days included talks from various lens manufacturers. Here, we round up some of what was discussed at the event
Sill Optics’ telecentric lenses for applications beyond standard metrology setups will be on display at booth 1146
Sill Optics is one of only a few mid-sized companies in Germany specialized in the production of optical components. Its philosophy “100% Made in Germany” is maintained throughout its own production and supplier chain. The product range focuses on telecentric imaging lenses, standard lenses and telecentric condensers for illumination. Besides high quality, flexibility due to inhouse production and individual services are offered by them. Sill Optics is often the first choice for customised products, prototypes and small series.
Larger sensors and smaller pixels are pushing image resolution higher, but can the lenses for machine vision cameras keep up? Lucy Goodchild van Hilten reports on maximising resolution through optics
Sill Optics has added two new lens series to its existing portfolio of telecentric condensers
Sill Optics has introduced wide angle lenses for security and other monitoring tasks
Sill Optics has introduced a thermal imaging lens with 50mm focal length and an f-number of 1.5
Sill Optics has released the S6IRI154x, a precision LED condenser with aspheric surfaces that is compatible with the reliable standard S6IRI153x condensers.
The new S5LPJ8210 from Sill Optics is a large double-sided telecentric lens. Due to its symmetrical setup, the lens has very low distortion (less than 0.01 per cent).
