In today's rapidly evolving industrial automation landscape, machine vision systems face increasingly complex challenges. Production lines run faster, quality standards grow more stringent, and inspection environments present ever-changing lighting conditions. To address these demands, Oklab® is proud to announce the launch of our new FT230 Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses, engineered specifically for high-performance machine vision applications.
The FT230 Series represents a significant advancement in industrial lens technology, combining large aperture capabilities with superior resolution in a compact form factor. These precision-engineered lenses deliver exceptional image quality even in challenging lighting conditions, making them ideal for a wide range of factory automation applications.
"Our design team focused on creating lenses that address the real-world challenges faced by system integrators and automation engineers," explains Alex Chen, Optical Engineering Director at Oklab. "The FT230 Series delivers the perfect balance of light sensitivity, resolution, and durability required for today's demanding industrial environments."
The FT230 Series offers impressive specifications that set new standards for industrial imaging:
These lenses are specifically designed to work seamlessly with leading industrial sensors, including GMAX2509, IMX536, IMX537, GMAX2505, and IMX252, ensuring optimal performance across a wide range of camera systems.
The FT230 Series is purpose-built for the most demanding applications across multiple industries:
Logistics and Material Handling
Electronics Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical and Food Packaging
Smart Manufacturing
What truly sets the FT230 Series apart is its exceptional performance in difficult imaging conditions. The large F/1.4 aperture allows for shorter exposure times, which is critical for capturing fast-moving objects without motion blur. This capability, combined with the lens's superior resolution, enables systems to maintain high inspection accuracy even at increased production speeds.
"The FT230 lenses deliver remarkably clear images even in our challenging production environment," notes Michael Rodriguez, Vision Systems Engineer at a leading electronics manufacturer who participated in pre-release testing. "We've been able to increase our inspection speed by 35% while actually improving our defect detection rates."
Beyond optical performance, the FT230 Series is built to last in demanding industrial environments. Features include:
The complete FT230 Series is now available for order through the Oklab website and authorized distributors worldwide. Focal length options include 4.5mm, 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, and 75mm to cover a wide range of working distances and field-of-view requirements.
As with all Oklab products, the FT230 Series is backed by our comprehensive technical support and our industry-leading 1-year warranty. Our application engineers are available to assist with lens selection, integration guidance, and optimization for specific inspection requirements.
