Moritex Introduces New Long Working Distance ML05-250N for Compact type Macro Lens Series ML-N

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Moritex Corporation(TOKYO:7714), a leading machine vision and digital imaging manufacturer, has added a new long working distance lens, ML05-250N, to its existing lineup. The new ML05-250N enables for the first time a magnification of 0.5x, and a working distance (WD) of 250 mm.

The cost-effective ML-N series macro lenses are used to magnify objects in inspections for PCB, BGA (Ball Grid Array), appearance, and other alignments. The new addition to the non-telecentric macro lens lineup enables magnification and WD that were not possible with the original ML-N series. With the close-up ring, magnification and WD can be changed easily. Additionally, with a longer WD, it is possible to take long-distance shooting and apply various lightings. By combining these lenses and Moritex’s lighting solutions such as LED and optical fiber lightguides, users can now perform their preferred image processing.

Moritex, together with its parent company SCHOTT AG, will showcase this new line from November 3 to 5 at the VISION 2009 in Stuttgart, Germany. Sales will start beginning of next year.
