 The requirements in industrial image processing impose great demands of the optics, not only to the optical performance of the lenses used, but also to their mechanical design.High vibration stability is one of the requests which is not fulfilled very often by conventional C-Mount lenses available on the market because of their light construction. In addition, the lenses need to be small in size and should have a locking mechanism for both iris and focus. The new Compact Series manufactured by Schneider Optics incorporates all these features. In order to offer high-quality lenses at reasonable prices, the Compact Series uses the same optics as our IR-corrected 400-1000nm series. Thus, the optical performance of these lenses is perfectly suited to meet the requirements for the 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 inch image formats. By reducing some mechanical parts in the design, the price of the Compact Series is considerably below that of the 400-1000nm series.
