Imaging Optics Manufacturing: Products

manufacturing
 
Crafting Excellence
in Every Product

Edmund Optics® designs and manufactures a wide range of off-the-shelf,
modified standard, and fully custom imaging lens assemblies

 
 
 

Off-the-Shelf Lenses

Telecentric Lenses

Eliminate or parallax error, ideal for precise gauging and metrology.

Fixed Focal Length Lenses

The standard types of lenses used in many inspection and robotics applications.

Microscope Objectives

High magnification objectives for short working distance imaging in either machine vision or medical systems.

M12 Lenses

These compact, board-level lenses are used in applications sensitive to size, weight, and cost.

These charts provide a starting point for understanding which off-the-shelf Edmund Optics®
lenses are the best fit for your camera's sensor and pixel size.

Modified Standard Lenses

Metrology Capabilities

Need something slightly different from our off-the-shelf lenses and need it fast?

  • Quickly modify standard lenses, reducing lead times to weeks rather than months, instead of designing custom lenses from scratch
  • Customize the aperture, optomechanics, or coatings of off-the-shelf lenses
  • Ideal for rapid prototyping if no standard lens directly fits your needs
 
 
 

Fully-Custom Design and Manufacturing

Application guidance, optical and optomechanical design, manufacturing, and testing for fully-custom lenses tailored for your specific needs

Design for Manufacturability

  • Advanced design, simulation, and analysis for optical and optomechanical manufacturability, sensitivity, and tolerancing
  • Multiphysics modeling, finite element analysis, and other software tools expedite the design process
  • Production manufacturing from first articles to high volumes and every stage of development in between
  • Cost conscious geometric dimensioning and tolerancing

Design Process

1

Feasibility
Evaluation

Feasibility

Feasibility starts by evaluating and constraining design specifications for realistic achievability. This design balances performance, manufacturability, and cost.

2

Preliminary Design
Review (PDR)

Preliminary Design Review (PDR)

The design is iterated to achieve specifications; tolerancing and sensitivity analyses are conducted for optomechanical mounting and housing considerations.

3

Critical Design
Review (CDR)

Critical Design Review (CDR)

Nearly complete, the design includes the full report of customer requested info such as thermal, wavelength, distortion, MTF, relative illumination, and other data.

4

Low Rate Initial
Production (LRIP)

Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP

First article prototypes are manufactured for final evaluation by the customer. Any remaining adjustments or modifications are made to the design before volume production.

5

Volume
Production

Volume Production

In the final stage of the design process, the final iteration of the product is brought to fruition and manufacturing at the required scale begins.
