Optical Wizard Automated Lens Selector
Navitar Inc.Request Info
ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 4, 2006 -- Machine vision optic manufacturer Navitar Inc. has introduced the
Optical Wizard, a patent-pending automated lens selector that generates
basic and customized solutions for machine-vision applications.
"You
no longer need to have an Optical Engineering degree or know complex
formulas and technical data to choose a lens," said Navitar's director
of new product development, William Bridson, "Navitar has harnessed its
engineering expertise into the easy-to-use Optical Wizard to make lens
selection simple."
The Optical Wizard simply requires entering
the fundamental parameters of an imaging system, such as field of view
(FOV), working distance, camera format/sensor size, and type of camera
mount -- or even camera pixel size, for applications where the ability
to resolve fine detail is critical.
Basic lens systems can
easily be customized if a user has more complex requirements, the
company said. The Optical Wizard offers a step-by-step process for
adding motorization, lighting, polarization and various mechanical
features. If a zoom lens is required for an application, the Wizard
computes the formulas for changing the numerical aperture with zoom
setting, the impact of coaxial illumination on image format and other
complex algorithms.
Once application data is entered, the
Optical Wizard quickly assesses the input and provides various lens
choices from leading lens manufacturers such as Navitar, Melles Griot,
Rodenstock, Fujinon and Mitutoyo. The Optical Wizard lists exactly how
fine a detail the selected lenses will the user resolve, magnification
ranges, working distance, field coverage and depth of field of each
lens option.
In addition to the Optical Wizard, Navitar's
redesigned Web site features access to an online shopping cart, easier
navigation and better search capabilities. Other enhancements include
CAD drawings, 2-D renderings, more detailed product information and
easy access to dealer contact information.
