Standard lenses & Optical component design services
THE VALUE ENGINEERING ALLIANCE maintains a strategic alliance with LENSATION (Karlsruhe, Germany), which makes more widely available the lenses and optical component design services that were previously for the most part limited to customers and clients located relatively close to LENSATION in Germany and neighboring countries.
Companies and individuals with requirements for standard lenses will benefit by being able to obtain at appreciably lower prices lenses and other optical components comparable to those they are currently using. These include various kinds of board lenses, general purpose C-Mount lenses and telecentric lenses, some of which are available in regular and some industrial versions.
However OEMs stand to gain the most from this alliance by being able to:
1) get cost-optimized series productions of their existing designs
2) obtain new designs free of charge by placing volume orders and
3) secure cost effective prototypes.
As for quality, the delivery of top grade goods is assured due to the QC programs in place and the fact the companies that produce LENSATION lenses have extensive experience using and selling lens test equipment. The use of customer-specified test protocols is an available option.
Having access to lens design and manufacturing specialists capable of making high quality lenses as small as 1 mm and as large as 300 mm in diameter, willing to do production runs of as few as five pieces, and with an emphasis on innovation, THE VALUE ENGINEERING ALLIANCE/LENSATION collaboration invites inquiries from all interested parties but especially those whose ideas or projects were rejected by other optics design houses that they approached.
An example of a product developed in this manner is the Lensagon FC825M15, the 185 degree lens shown below, which was specifically designed for use with cameras that feature 15.2 mm x 15.2 mm imaging area sensors such as Kodak KAI-402X series CCDs.
