Tech info
Resources

TCSM series is a unique family of bi-telecentric lenses for extremely accurate 3D dimensional measurement systems. All TCSM lenses are equipped with a high-precision Scheimpflug adjustment mechanism that fits any type of C-mount camera. Besides achieving very good focus at wide tilt angles, bi-telecentricity also yields incredibly low distortion. Images are linearly compressed only in one direction, thus making 3D-reconstruction very easy and exceptionally accurate.

The available magnifications ranges from 0.5x to 0.1x while the angle of view reaches 30°-45° to meet the measurement needs of triangulation-based techniques. The Scheimpflug mount tilts around the horizontal axis of the detector plane to ensure excellent pointing stability and ease of focus.

KEY ADVANTAGES

  • Scheimpflug tilt adjustment
    No other lens can perform oblique measurements
  • The image is radially undistorted
    Linear extension can be perfectly calibrated
  • Compatible with any C-mount cameras
    C-mount standard compliant
  • Detailed test report with measured optical parameters

Notes

  1. Working distance: distance between the front end of the mechanics and the object. Set this distance within ±3% of the nominal value for maximum resolution and minimum distortion.
  2. Working f-number (wf/N): the real f-number of a lens in operating conditions.
  3. Maximum angle between chief rays and optical axis on the object side. Typical (average production) values and maximum (guaranteed) values are listed.
  4. Percent deviation of the real image compared to an ideal, undistorted image. Typical (average production) values and maximum (guaranteed) values are listed.
  5. Measured from the front end of the mechanics to the camera flange.
