en.Wedoany.com Reported - poLight ASA has added 13.6mm and 19.7mm lenses to its MLens off-the-shelf product portfolio, offering more focal length options while maintaining the speed, energy efficiency, and reliability of the MLens platform. The new lenses are based on the company's ultra-fast, ultra-low-power TLens tunable optical technology, enabling design engineers to quickly set and change object and focal distances to adapt to different scenarios. Product samples, supporting evaluation kits, and multiple static and dynamic demonstrations will be showcased at booth 10022 in the North Hall of the Automate show (June 22-25, Chicago, Illinois).
Yole Group estimates that the industrial machine vision market will reach $7.8 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 2.1%. The analysis firm also projects that the global humanoid robot market will reach $51 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of 55%. These three application categories require advanced AI-driven imaging capabilities, coupled with ultra-fast, ultra-low-power, and robust autofocus lenses.
The new lenses deliver key performance capabilities common in AI-based imaging applications, including XR smart glasses, microdisplay optics, intelligent machine vision cameras, robotics, barcode readers, and high-speed automation requiring constant field of view focus from infinity to macro. Lens features include larger apertures for higher light throughput, expanded optical range and flexibility, improved optical quality at scale, and system-level integration advantages.
The new lenses join the 6.6mm and 7.5mm MLens portfolio options, sharing the same mechanical and electrical interfaces, allowing users and installers to easily select or swap lenses.
Dr. Øyvind Isaksen, CEO of poLight ASA, stated that industrial and machine vision customers face rapidly growing AI imaging challenges within increasingly shrinking design windows. The MLens portfolio provides a standard off-the-shelf product that enables TLens performance without designing a complete custom lens, allowing OEMs to quickly advance their cutting-edge technologies.
The MLens portfolio includes a complete support platform and ecosystem, including the TLens EVK, which can easily control a PC or Mac computer via a USB connection. Image Quality Labs offers a Raspberry Pi system available for purchase on DigiKey, while companies in the poLight partner program provide MLens-enabled camera modules. MLens is compatible with multiple processor platforms.
poLight ASA is a company offering patented proprietary tunable optical technology. Its first product, TLens, replicates the human eye experience in autofocus cameras used in devices such as AR/MR glasses, smartphones, barcode scanners, machine vision systems, and medical devices. With advantages such as extremely fast focusing, small size, no magnetic interference, low power consumption, and constant field of view, TLens enables better system performance and new user experiences. The company is headquartered in Tønsberg, Norway, with employees in Finland, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, China, Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines.
