Industrial processes demand sensor solutions that are flexible, fast, and precise. The Vision Sensor PV3 from IMAGO Technologies meets these needs—and now surpasses them with an optional Liquid Lens. Whether dealing with varying working distances or enabling autofocus functionality, this innovation opens up numerous new possibilities.

WHAT IS A LIQUID LENS?

A Liquid Lens consists of a liquid optical material that can change its shape to adjust the curvature of the lens, thereby shifting the focus position—controlled via software. This means the Vision Sensor PV3’s focus can be dynamically and precisely adjusted without mechanical intervention or lens changes.

BENEFITS OF THE LIQUID LENS FOR THE VISION SENSOR PV3

• Rapid Focus Adjustment: Software-controlled focus changes can be made in real time, saving time and reducing downtime.
• Adaptable to Varying Working Distances: Ideal for applications where working distances frequently change, such as inspecting differently sized objects or flexible production lines.
• Autofocus Option: With specific application knowledge, you can assess whether autofocus functionality is beneficial to make the sensor even more adaptable to shifting requirements.

APPLICATIONS

The Liquid Lens significantly extends the application range of the Vision Sensor PV3. Examples include:

• Quality Control: Quickly adjusting focus for products of varying sizes or shapes.
• Logistics: Detecting objects at variable distances—perfect for sorting and packaging systems.
• Medical Technology: Inspecting components or instruments arranged at different positions or distances.

CONCLUSION

With the new Liquid Lens, the Vision Sensor PV3 becomes a true all-rounder in industrial image processing. Its flexible, software-driven focus adjustment not only saves time but also enhances adaptability for dynamic production environments.
