    In recent year, Mega-pixel cameras used for machine-vision applications including production equipment, substrate mounting equipment, various test equipment, and various engineering machines migrate toward higher resolution. Under this market trend, Tamron currently offers an extensive array (total 28models) of mega-pixel machine-vision lenses for 1.1" imagers, 1/1.2" imagers, 2/3" imagers and 1/1.8" 2-mega-pixel imagers.

    In addition to this, Tamron newly releases two mega-pixel lenses supporting 1/1.7" and 1/1.8" 6-mega-pixel imagers in a compact body that are expected to spread in the future.

    In many cases, some specific production equipment, substrate inspection equipment, and industry-grade printers demand lenses that can be installed in a limited space and assure high resolution and high contrast in close-up wide-angle images.
    With this addition, Tamron now offers the widest selection of high-resolution lenses to address customers’ exacting needs.

    Tamron develops industry-leading high-resolution fixed-focal lenses to meet customers’ critical requirements and needs in machine vision and pursues optical performance that assures distinguished fidelity in all image details, and excelled user utility.

    KEY FEATURES

    1. Unrivalled High Contrast and High Resolution in the Industry
    The new lenses are compatible with 1/1.7" 2.74μm pixel-pitch 6-mega (max) pixel imagers, while assuring the highest resolution and contrast in Ø29mm machine-vision lenses.

    2. Industry-leading Low Distortion (TV Distortion)
    Tamron’s state-of-the-art optics technology achieves drastic improvement in TV distortion compared with previous models.
    Specification: M117FM06: -1.5% / M117FM08: -1.0%

    3. High-Quality Imaging in Close-up Shooting Distance
    The new lens provides high-quality imaging in commonly used close-up distances.

    4. Rigid Inspection on High Quality
    Rigid inspection is performed to certify resolution from the center to the periphery of images, assuring high-contrast and high-resolution without unbalanced blurring throughout the entire lens view.

    5. Rugged Mechanical Design for Anti-Vibration and Shock
    Newly designed mechanism improves anti-vibration and shock performance compared with previous models. Even under a severe machine-vision setup with as much as max 10G vibrations and shocks, the new mechanism limits optical (image) deflection within 10μm.
    *Vibration frequency 10-60Hz (amplitude 0.75mm), vibration frequency 60-200Hz (acceleration 100m/s2), and number of cycles: 50 cycles.

    6. A Commonly used Setscrew is Included as a Standard Accessory
    A lock-screw used in previous models can be replaced with an embedding-type setscrew, reducing the diameter of the lens barrel for further compact installation.
    * Ø29mm: Excluding the objective-end of the lens
