ZEISS Interlock Lens Range Expanded

ZEISS has introduced five new focal lengths for its ZEISS Interlock lens family.

The new focal lengths, for industrial applications, are the ZEISS Interlock 1.4/50, 1.4/85, 1.4/25,1.4/35 and 2/35. These high-speed lenses feature quick shutter speeds, and can speed up quality control by up to 30%.

The lenses are available with either an F-mount, EF-mount or M42x1 mount, and are suitable for full-format sensors and 41mm linescan sensors. The fixture for the lenses is equipped with multiple screws, enabling users to securely clamp the aperture and focus. This is particularly beneficial in production environments with machine vibrations, and it ensures that the images are in focus. The new focal lengths provide edge-to-edge sharpness.

Furthermore, the lenses' metal design is also engineered to withstand rough conditions, including crash tests in the automotive industry. The ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating prevents irritating reflections and provides optimum contrast with minimal vignetting, making the new lenses well-suited for reading barcodes on uneven or reflective surfaces.

Till W. Bleibaum, from ZEISS, said: "We are expanding our lens family with these new, extremely powerful industrial lenses, and are offering a broad portfolio for different applications with a total of eleven different focal lengths. This is a real boon for our customers. These lenses have low levels of distortion. This way you can measure different-sized objects from various distances with great precision."

The new industrial lenses will be available from 24 October, 2017. A list of distribution partners can be found on the ZEISS website. Prices are available upon request.
