InfiniMini™

Video/Machine Vision Lens

Both InfiniMini versions share the same optical characteristics and accessories in common with each other-the only differences being overall diameter and type of focusing-lock designed for the specific requirements of video/machine vision system integrators.

InfiniMini ("Reference" Series)

Revolutionary, internal-focusing video/machine vision lenses that offer a choice of four rear converter systems. When equipped with the Standard Converter, InfiniMini focuses directly from 750mm down to 150mm (30 in. to 6 in.) at 0.07x to 0.38x. With the IF Converter, InfiniMini focuses directly from infinity down to 314mm. Equipped with the SF Converter, InfiniMini can be utilized with video cameras having sensors 1/3 in. and smaller. The WA Converter is the same size as the SF Converter and operates from 550mm to 150mm and provides wide fields, particularly with 1/3-in., and smaller formats. Regardless of the converter used, InfiniMini progressively corrects its optical performance during focus. In fact, InfiniMini actually transitions between being a telescope and a microscope!

Input from machine vision specialists was taken into consideration during the design and development of InfiniMini, resulting in a truly innovative video lens with many unique features. Incorporating a patented Dynamic (internal) Focusing System (DFS™), InfiniMini always remains dimensionally-stable. InfiniMini's DFS system provides continuous spherical correction with progressive proximity to the subject. This means that InfiniMini improves its image quality where other lenses suffer aberrational defects. As InfiniMini is focused from anywhere within its focusing range, blurring is equal on both sides of a sharp focus-regardless of the selected working distance.

With optional accessories, InfiniMini can be focused from infinity down to 25mm at 6.4x. Accessory amplifiers of DL 2x or LDL 2x extend the configurational magnification ratio to more than 130:1. InfiniMini is only 98mm long and 35mm diameter. It is fully compatible with all C-mount and CS-mount video cameras. Once focused, each can be locked by a built-in locking device.

InfiniMini (Industrial)

A smaller diameter (33mm), InfiniMini designed to fit into machine vision/video houings, etc. Aside from that, the Industrial is optically identical—and in all other respects the same—as the InfiniMini Reference.

Summing up...

System integrators want a cost-effective solution that is fool-proof, simple, yet versatile—the InfiniMini is that. Lenses from other manufacturers would require constant removal, disassembly and accessorization in order to even approach the InfiniMini's capabilities. Video/machine vision systems integrators now have the features, versatility and options they've been asking for without complexity at extremely attractive prices.
