TC3MHR-5MHR CORE PLUS series are large FOV telecentric lenses for the latest generation sensors up to 1.1” like the IMX304 and 4/3” sensors like the IMX387. They are specifically designed to accurately measure large objects in a reduced space.

Inspired by catadioptric telescopes, their folded optical path allows large FOV imaging while keeping the overall footprint compact. The size reduction is up to 45% compared with other telecentric lenses on the market.

The length and working distance of a telecentric lens strongly impact the size of a vision system. This is especially critical when a large FOV telecentric lens is used with a telecentric illuminator, as the overall dimensions of the system are doubled. For this reason the working distance of TC3MHR-5MHR CORE PLUS series has been reduced to make a measurement system as compact as possible.

KEY ADVANTAGES

Make your large FOV system up to 45% smaller
TC3MHR-5MHR CORE PLUS lenses are up to 45% shorter than other telecentric lenses on the market. The short working distance minimizes the size of the whole system.
Designed for the latest camera sensors
TC3MHR CORE PLUS telecentric lenses are designed for sensors up to 1.1” like the IMX304, while TC5MHR CORE PLUS series lenses are ideal for sensors up to 4/3” like the IMX387
Smart integration
TC3MHR-5MHR CORE PLUS lenses integrate a mounting flange for easy integration without additional clamps.
System compactness is a competitive advantage
TC CORE PLUS lenses minimize the size of your system, resulting in less manufacturing, shipping and storage costs.

TC CORE PLUS lenses feature standard extruded aluminum profiles with M5 T-slot nuts for easy mounting. No additional mounting clamps are required, making their integration easy and cost-effective.

TC3MHR-5MHR CORE PLUS telecentric lenses take less space in your system, resulting in lower manufacturing, shipping and storage costs. A smaller vision system or measurement machine is the preferred solution in the industry and leads to more sales.

Advantages

Notes

Given the squared shape of the front window, the lens forms a rectangular image.
Working distance: distance between the front end of the mechanics and the object. Set this distance within +/- 5% of the nominal value for maximum resolution and minimum distortion.
Working F-number (wF/#): the real F-number of a lens in operating conditions.
Maximum angle between chief rays and optical axis on the object side.
Percent deviation of the real image compared to an ideal, undistorted image. Maximum (guaranteed) values are listed.
Residual distortion after calibration with TCLIB Suite software library, using a PTCP calibrations pattern and a fully GenICam® compliant camera. For setup information see related table.
At the borders of the field depth the image can be still used for measurement but, to get a perfectly sharp image, only half of the nominal field depth should be considered. Pixel size used for calculation is 3.45 μm.
Maximum dimension of the clamping flange.
Measured from the front end of the mechanics to the camera flange.

Notice:
Due to its original design mainly conceived to reduce the length and weight of a telecentric lens, typically CORE PLUS optics show a thermal drift which is higher than in traditional telecentric optics, especially when the entire FOV is used for measurement. When used for measurement applications, thus, CORE PLUS optics might need to be thermally calibrated depending on the required precision and accuracy.
