TC CORE series

Space saving bi-telecentric lenses

Catalog 2019

Addendum 2018

TC CORE bi-telecentric lenses for sensors up to 2/3” feature a truly revolutionary ultra compact opto-mechanical design.

These lenses deliver high-end optical performances and at the same time are up to 70% smaller than other double-sided telecentric lenses on the market, thus allowing to significantly downsize a vision system.
The unique shape has been expressly developed for maximum mounting flexibility.

TC CORE lenses can be mounted in different directions using any of the 4 sides even without clamps, allowing to cut the system’s cost, and can be easily fitted or retrofitted even into very compact machines.

TC CORE bi-telecentric lenses can also be coupled with the new ultra compact LTCLHP CORE series telecentric illuminators to build super small yet extremely accurate measurement systems.

KEY ADVANTAGES

Excellent optical performances
TC CORE bi-telecentric lenses deliver excellent optical performances as other comparable Opto Engineering bi-telecentric lenses.
Extremely compact
TC CORE lenses are up to 70% smaller than other telecentric lenses on the market.
Designed for flexibility and smart integration
TC CORE lenses integrate a camera phase adjustment and can be mounted on multiple sides with or without clamps, allowing to cut the costs.
Save you money
Systems integrating TC CORE lenses take much less space,resulting in lower manufacturing, shipping and storage costs.
Boost your sales
A smaller vision system or measurement machine is the solution preferred by the industry.

Comparison of a “classic“ telecentric lens present on the market and a TC CORE bi-telecentric lens: TC CORE lens delivers best optical performances and is extremely compact.

ADVANTAGES

Notes

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.
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.
Maximum slope of chief rays inside the lens: when converted to millirad, it gives the maximum measurement error for any millimeter of object displacement. Typical (average production) values and maximum (guaranteed) values are listed.
Percent deviation of the real image compared to an ideal, undistorted image: typical (average production) values and maximum (guaranteed) values are listed.
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 5.5 μm.
In case the of vignetting, FOV dimensions are indicated with "Ø = , x= ", where "Ø =" stands for diameter and "x=" indicates the nominal FOV height and length (see Tech Info for related drawing).
Indicates the availability of an integrated camera phase adjustment feature.
Due to the special shape of TCCR120xx it might be necessary to check the mechanical compatibility with your camera.
Indicates the dimensions and shape of image, where "Ø =" stands for diameter and "x=" indicates the nominal image height and length (Tech Info for related drawing).
