In the world of factory automation (FA) and machine vision, precision and clarity are key. Tamron, a leader in machine vision lenses, offers a range of high-performance solutions for industries requiring detailed inspection, surveillance, and monitoring. Whether inspecting circuit boards, managing traffic systems, or ensuring food quality, Tamron lenses are engineered to meet industrial demands.
This blog explores Tamron’s top lens categories: Mega-Pixel Fixed Focal Lenses, Vari-Focal Lenses, and SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) Lenses. We’ll highlight the specific lens models and applications where Tamron lenses excel in performance and reliability.
Mega-Pixel Fixed Focal Lenses: Precision for Industrial Applications and Machine Vision Vision
Tamron’s Mega-Pixel Fixed Focal Lenses offer high-resolution imaging for critical industries like robotics, production equipment, Inspection, Medical, Metrology, and many more. Popular models like the MA111F-VIR series (including the MA111F16VIR, MA111F35VIR, and MA111F50VIR) are designed for 1.1-inch sensors, supporting resolutions up to 24 megapixels. These lenses are perfect for circuit board inspections, railroad monitoring, and social infrastructure.
For smaller sensors, the M112FM series offers lenses such as the M112FM25 (25mm, F/1.8-16) and M112FM75 (75mm, F/3.5-16), providing sharp, detailed imaging in engineering machines and robotics automation. These lenses deliver reliability and superior performance in both visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectrums. Tamron Megapixel lenses has you covered from VGA resolution to 24 MegaPixel and covers just about all the Sony Preguis sensors.
Vari-Focal Lenses: Versatility in Surveillance
For adaptable environments, Tamron’s Vari-Focal Lenses provide flexible focal lengths while maintaining high image quality. These lenses are widely used in security, traffic monitoring, policing, theft, and many more.
SWIR Lenses: Expanding Imaging Beyond the Visible Spectrum
Tamron’s SWIR Lenses are essential for imaging beyond visible light, commonly used in industries like food processing, medical imaging, and manufacturing. Tamron’s wide-band SWIR lenses, designed for Sony IMX990/IMX991 sensors, cover a wide wavelength range from visible to SWIR (400-1700nm). With superior anti-reflection coatings, these lenses are ideal for inspecting recyclables, monitoring crop moisture, and verifying silicon wafer quality.
