THE OEM SOLUTIONS PAGE

If you or your company are video integrators, machine vision specialists or involved in any applications which require multiple units of quality optics, you have come to the right place: INFINITY!

Our lenses and optics really are different from "the others." Infinity has developed optics that are smaller, better and more cost-effective—if not less-expensive. Here, you will see suggestions for using our products in assembly-line and custom applications. Of course, all Infinity Products have potential OEM uses. But, our Proximity™ Series and InfiniProbe™ Series optics are particularly suited for OEM applications. And, once established as an OEM Account, our prices should surprise you.

Custom Design

Infinity will build custom optics as long as they are based on our proprietary technology. We often refer to this approach as re-configuration or “hybrid” technology. In other words, we don't design generic optical systems based on design principles other than our own. Most likely, one of our standard instruments should meet your needs. However, if you have special requirements or unusual installation configurations, we can probably design a custom system based on one of our existing products. Because the modularity of Infinity systems makes them so extremely adaptable, it is not uncommon for us to develop a custom solution—or even invent an entirely new instrument in a matter of days or even hours. Often we will design an instrument for a client entirely for their own proprietary OEM application. Other times, when client confidentiality is not a major concern, we may incorporate the design or system into our mainstream product line. In fact, this is how some of our most successful products have been developed.

IF we don't make it—we probably can. For example, one IC manufacturer needed quick delivery to meet a production schedule. A competitor who already had a somewhat-suitable product quoted a 10 week delivery time. That would have put the IC manufacturer six weeks behind schedule. They called us to see if we made such a product—we didn't—not yet. From scratch we developed and delivered what later evolved into the InfiniTube FM-Series™ in three weeks, enabling the manufacturer to go into production even sooner than planned.

Even if we do make it, we can probably remake it for a very specific purpose. A NASA contractor needed a long-distance microscope for a potential space mission. Unfortunately, our (then) world-standard Model K2™ (now upgraded to the Model K2/S™) was simply too heavy and bulky. Still, the K2's resolution was needed. Could Infinity "do something?" The call was phoned-in about 10:30am; by 2:00pm, three production models (we literally skipped the prototype stage) were shipped out overnight. That version went on to be a 1995 Photonics "Circle of Excellence" Award-winner.

Infinity Provides Real Solutions In Real Time

PROBLEM: Budgeting your vision machines is getting out of hand.

INFINITY SOLUTION: (from the Proximity™ Series)

If you are building optics into a machine, why not put more of them on it? Infinity's Proximity and InfiniProbe optics are generally smaller, lighter and more cost-effective because you can do just that:

More fit in the same space. And, we offer 90-degree and dual-port units in many cases.

INSTEAD OF THIS:

YOU CAN DO THIS:

Your choice: Use fewer machines to save overall costs—or get the same number as originally planned and increase productivity.

Accordion™ Shown with Motorized InfiniMite™ Units

PROBLEM: You want to fixture our small optics, easily.

INFINITY SOLUTION:

That is where the ACCORDION™ comes in. It is a unique pre-fabricted fixturing system that expands from a single unit—to as many as practical. Now, you see why we call it Accordion. And, Accordion fixturing allows you to do all this in a space where other units can't fit.

CALL US FOR DETAILS. WE'LL EXPLAIN HOW YOU CAN USE OUR LENSES IN PLACES OTHERS WON'T FIT.

InfiniProbe S-32

PROBLEM: You need high resolution coupled to high depth of field. But, WHERE does THAT happen?

INFINITY SOLUTION:

Use the InfiniProbe Series. These truly are unique: They focus from infinity down to only a few millimeters. You can focus where magnification, resolution and depth of field optimize for your application—and lock that solution in. Setting up a machine was never easier.

Need a little less magnification, but the same focusing ability? Look to the InfiniMite™ and InfiniMini™ optics.

Need the very best continuously-focusable optic there is? Look to the InfiniVar™ CFM-2/S™ and its REVERSO option.

InfiniGage

PROBLEM: You are looking to make accurate 2D measurements.

INFINITY SOLUTION:

InfiniGage™—because it has virtually no distortion, providing exceptionally accurate measurements. InfiniGage can be used in many applications where large, expensive telecentrics have been used before. The under $250 InfiniGage is also so small, it mounts where bulky telecentrics can't. Prepare to be amazed.

InfiniTube FM-200

PROBLEM: You need to image highly-reflective parts with illumination.

INFINITY SOLUTION:

Select from what we think is the most extensive line of coaxial (in-line illumination) products on the market. Choose from our InfiniTube™ Series, on into the Model KC™ and Model K2™. Adaptability was never more complete.

InfiniStix

PROBLEM: You need a fool-proof imaging lens that says what it does and does what it says.

INFINITY SOLUTION:

InfiniStix™ are just that simple to use. They're engraved with their working distances and magnifications. Just screw them into your C or CS-mount (with 5mm spacer) camera and position for flawless results.

InfiniMax/S Shown w/o Objective

PROBLEM: "Telecentric" lenses won't let you generate a 3-D image.

INFINITY SOLUTION:

InfiniMax/S™. Here's a long-distance lens with relatively high magnification that is held virtually constant during focal translation form a fixed position. Its resolution is second only to our own Model K2/S™. So, go ahead: motorize, program and computer control it for image measurements you never anticipated.
