The optical path of the rays pass through the narrow openings of hollow objects (pipes, bottles, cans, vials, etc.) without the need to rotate an object, use a probe, or use multi-camera configurations. HC hypercentric lenses are used in diverse inspection applications including beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries.<\/p>\n\n\n

IF one didn’t know about 360\u00b0 hypercentric lenses…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

… one might attempt a muti-camera or line scan solution. But there are drawbacks to each of those approaches. <\/p>\n\n\n

OK, what about linescan? Linescan is know to be good for high resolution images of elongated objects. Yes, but one would need a separate camera for each of the sides vs. the bottom of the object. Most significant, however, is the requirement for motion essential to a linescan design, as the camera or object must rotate to expose all “slices”, while the object is concurrently progressing down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n

Opto Engineering 360\u00b0 lenses check all the boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since line scan really isn’t a solution, and a multicamera approach is complex at best, for comprehensive inspection of the inner sides and bottom of hollow objects, these Opto Engineering 360\u00b0 lenses offer an attractive solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
