TC4K series

Flat telecentric lenses for 4 k pixel linescan cameras

Tech info
Media gallery

TC4K series telecentric lenses have been designed for measurement applications using linescan cameras with a detector size up to 28.7 mm (e.g. 4096 pixels with pixel size 7 μm).

Dimensional constraints are often a major issue when designing image scanning systems where the sample or the camera itself must be moved: TC4K series is the Opto Engineering® solution for applications and machines with tight dimensional constrains. Compatible LTCL4K illuminators with matching flat design and dedicated accessories allow for optical combinations that fit most geometrical measurement configurations.

TC4K series feature standard F or M42 mount to fit common linescan camera interfaces; additional mounts are available upon request. Moreover, the lens-camera interface provides both fine detector phase adjustment and a precise focusing mechanism. Detector phase adjustment allows to precisely position the linear FOV at 90° from the object movement direction.

KEY ADVANTAGES

  • Compact design
    “Flat” shape for easy integration
  • Easy rotational phase and focus adjustment
    Robust and precise tuning of FOV phase angle and best focus position
  • Compatible LTCL4K telecentric illuminators
    with matching flat design.
  • Dedicated CMMR4K mirrors
    90° deflection of the light path for usage in tight spaces and easy integration
  • 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/#): the real F-number of a lens when used as a macro. Lenses with smaller apertures can be supplied on request.
  3. Maximum slope of chief rays inside the lens: when converted to milliradians, it gives the maximum measurement error for any millimeter of object displacement. 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. 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 7 μm.
  6. Indicates the availability of an integrated camera phase adjustment feature.
  7. Measured from the front end of the mechanics to the camera flange.

Ordering information

It’s easy to select the right lens for your application: our part numbers are coded as TC4Kyyy-x where yyy refers to the field of view (FOV) in millimeters and -x refers to the mount option:
-F for F-mount.
-N for M42x1 mount (flange distance FD 10.56 mm).

For example, TC4K060-N refers to a TC4K060 with M42x1 mount.
