Schneider-Kreuznach products

With a maximum sensor size of 1.3" (24 mm) and a resolution of up to 2.4µ pixel size, the TOURMALINE lenses offer impressive performance. For one, the flat main beam angle makes them suitable for all SONY Pregius™ generations. TOURMALINE lenses are available as C-Mount and TFL-Mount lenses in 8 different focal lengths from 16 mm to 50 mm. With starting apertures from F2 to F2.8, TOURMALINE lenses allow precise control of the amount of light reaching the sensor. Some models are also available in a ruggedized version for use in harsh environments. In addition, a number of models are available with a motorized iris. TOURMALINE compact lenses are ideal for industrial and demanding imaging applications. With their wide magnification range, high resolution and low distortion, they deliver excellent imaging results. Certain TOURMALINE models were formerly sold under the XENOPLAN name.

THULITE offers high-resolution lenses designed to meet the demanding needs of image processing applications. These lenses support sensors up to 32 mm diagonal and are engineered to prevent shadowing on main-beam sensitive sensors. Featuring a special broadband AR coating, they are suitable for both the visible range (400 to 700 nm) and the NIR range (700 to 1000 nm). THULITE lenses offer flexible working distance adjustments and come in focal lengths of 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm to cater to specific requirements. Their compatibility with M42 and TFL mounts ensures seamless integration into existing systems. With a maximum aperture of F2.8, these lenses offer superior performance even under low light conditions. Key applications include machine vision, automated optical inspection, and robotic vision. The lenses are designed to work with top sensor brands like Sony, OnSemi, GPixel, and Teledyne e2V, providing an optimal combination for enhanced imaging efficiency and accuracy.

Schneider-Kreuznach's industrial bandpass filters are specifically engineered to transmit a defined range of wavelengths while blocking others. This precision makes them ideal for applications needing high spectral accuracy, such as spectroscopy, bioanalysis, and advanced imaging systems. The filters feature steep slopes with high transmission stability at the cut-on and cut-off wavelengths. They are magnetron-sputtered, ensuring a very flat surface which is crucial for high-end inspection systems. Manufactured to meet RoHS standards, these filters offer over 95% transmittance and are capable of providing significant improvements in imaging accuracy by eliminating unwanted wavelengths. They are versatile in size and customizable upon request. The filters are available with SH-Mounts and SN1-Mounts, which ensure robustness and flexibility, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments. Additionally, the filters undergo rigorous testing to meet DIN standards for durability and environmental resistance, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance.

Narrow bandpass filters are critical components in industrial applications, designed to selectively transmit a small, well-defined range of wavelengths while blocking the rest of the optical spectrum. Manufactured using magnetron sputtering technology, these filters achieve precise wavelength selectivity with stable cut-on and cut-off points. The layers are meticulously applied to ensure steep slope transitions, making them suitable for advanced applications like spectroscopy, 3D measurement, and imaging. Schneider-Kreuznach narrow bandpass filters conform to RoHS standards and come in custom sizes upon request. These filters are essential for isolating specific spectral lines or bands in complex light sources, enabling precise measurements and high-quality imaging. The robust construction ensures durability, and the specialized coatings enhance their performance in various environments, including LED and laser lighting, traffic surveillance, bioanalytics, and medical diagnostics.
