Optical metrology is an application area within machine vision focused on precise measurement using controlled optics, lighting, cameras, and calibration. Telecentric lenses are designed to maintain constant magnification over a defined depth range, reducing perspective error.
Computar LensConnect telecentric motorized lenses are the first in the industry to combine these features. That brings precision telecentric optics with intelligent remote focus control for high-accuracy industrial imaging and measurement applications.
Example application: PCB Inspection
Consider the following application:

The application needs to BOTH measure the height of all three indicated components AND to OCR read/verify/record the markings on the components. That requires both telecentricity and focus control.

Motorized automated focus is key differentiator
In the short 35 second video below, one can see how lens controls are parameterized to automatically optimize focus, adapting to variable conditions.
Four different magnification options
There are 4 different lens models in the series, with magnifications of:
- 0.25 <—— just click for full specs
- 0.5 <—— just click for full specs
- 1.0 <—— just click for full specs
- 2.0 <—— just click for full specs

Key benefits include:
- Supports high-resolution machine vision cameras
- Reduces downtime and manual recalibration
- Precise stepper motor focus positioning
- Ideal for metrology, semiconductor, and electronics inspection
- Simplifies remote setup and multi-camera calibration systems
