What is an FA Industrial Lens?

FA stands for Factory Automation, which refers to the automation of manufacturing processes.

An FA lens, also known as an industrial lens, is used in factory automation for applications such as industrial vision alignment, dimensional measurement, and surface vision inspection.

FA industrial lenses are an essential part of industrial vision inspection systems, with a wide variety available, forming a vast system to accommodate applications under different conditions. The classification of industrial lenses can be approached from multiple perspectives. Typically, they can be categorized by interface into C-mount and CS-mount, and by whether the focal length is variable, into zoom lenses and fixed focal length (prime) lenses. Other types include microscope lenses, line scan lenses, and so on.

With the acceleration of industrial automation, the application of dynamic imaging in industrial vision inspection continues to grow. To meet the market's demand for high-speed, cost-effective solutions, DZOPTICS has expanded its range of FA industrial lenses to provide customers with more cost-effective options suitable for a wider range of market segments, facilitating the development of machine vision applications.

POMEAS has recently launched FA lenses with 10 megapixels and 20 megapixels, offering high resolution, excellent image quality, compact design, and high cost-performance ratio. These lenses are available in various focal lengths to meet the needs of various machine vision applications and achieve better imaging results.

FA industrial lenses are cost-effective and versatile, integrating with industrial cameras to replace the highly challenging manual visual inspection. They ensure the safety of manual labor and further improve the efficiency of industrial production and manufacturing. FA lenses are indispensable in the future progression of industrial technology.
