About Opto Engineering demo machine

Pericentric lens that achieves a 360° field of view with just one camera

The PC pericentric lens is a lens that can capture images of the outer surface and top of a maximum φ60 x 20mmD workpiece from 360° with a single camera. A single pericentric lens provides the magnification and depth of field needed to capture all the information about your workpiece while eliminating the unnecessarily complex setups of traditional mirrors and multiple camera systems. Offers. The name "pericentric" comes from the specific path of light rays. The image acquired is a side view surrounding the top side, making this PC series ideal for inspection applications on cylindrical workpieces common in industries such as beverages and pharmaceuticals.
Proposal of the most suitable lens for outer surface inspection of cylindrical containers such as PET bottles

What is a pericentric lens?

By placing the entrance pupil position closer to the object side than the front lens surface, it is possible to focus on the top and sides of the subject (object plane) at the same time.
