Product Overview

The WBHX3602302A is a compact catadioptric panoramic annular (PAL) industrial lens dedicated to 360° outer surface inspection of small axisymmetric cylindrical parts for machine vision automated quality inspection lines. It adopts standard C-mount interface compatible with 1/1.8” CCD industrial cameras, featuring a Φ5.32 mm image circle, 450–650nm visible light transmission band, and adjustable working distance ranging from 9mm to 45.4mm. The lens supports object diameters from 7.5mm to 30mm and measurable heights from 5.3mm to 25mm, covering diverse small-sized workpiece inspection demands across pharmaceutical, packaging, electronics and precision hardware industries.

Distinctive Product Features

  1. Innovative single-shot 360° all-surface catadioptric optical design

    Its integrated refraction-reflection optical path synchronously images the entire lateral outer wall and top end face of cylindrical parts in one single frame. It eliminates rotary fixtures, multi-camera arrays, complex mirror groups and post-image stitching algorithms, drastically simplifying vision system mechanical layout and cutting overall hardware & software deployment costs.

  2. Optimized for 1/1.8” compact sensors with space-saving body

    Tailored for small-format 1/1.8” industrial cameras, the lens features a compact metal housing with precise M3 mounting holes, occupying minimal installation space and perfectly fitting narrow automated equipment stations.

  3. Adjustable F8-F16 aperture for stable industrial imaging

    Continuously variable aperture balances depth of field and exposure flexibility to adapt fluctuating factory lighting conditions, maintaining uniform, low-distortion annular imaging across the full detection range for consistent defect capture.

  4. Wide adaptive detection range for multi-size workpieces

    Supports workpiece diameters of 7.5–30mm and heights of 5.3–25mm with calibrated magnification ratios, enabling one lens to inspect a full series of miniature cylindrical products on the same production line.

  5. 450–650nm broadband anti-reflection coating

    Visible light optimized coating delivers high contrast, sharp imaging for defect detection, curved-surface barcode & DataMatrix decoding and dimensional measurement under white or blue ring illumination.

  6. Industrial eco-friendly metal rugged construction

    Sturdy, wear-resistant environmentally friendly metal housing with tight dimensional tolerances, stable performance under long-duration continuous factory operation.

Core Key Functions

  1. Full 360° circumferential outer wall defect inspection without blind zones

    Detect scratches, burrs, thread damage, deformation, printing flaws, foreign contaminants and surface unevenness all around cylindrical workpieces including medicine bottle caps, plastic preforms, tiny precision screws, electronic cylindrical shells and cosmetic containers.

  2. Synchronized simultaneous top & lateral surface acquisition in one exposure

    Capture top outline and full surrounding side profile at the same time, supporting integrated appearance defect screening and dimensional metrology without repeated workpiece shooting or repositioning.

  3. High-speed inline automated inspection throughput boost

    Replace traditional multi-camera synchronous trigger solutions, removing complex calibration and stitching errors to greatly improve inspection speed for continuous high-volume production lines.

  4. Stable curved-surface code & character recognition

    Accurately decode QR codes, DataMatrix codes and printed text distributed anywhere on curved outer walls, eliminating perspective distortion and reading blind spots.

  5. Universal compatibility with mainstream machine vision systems

    1/1.8” sensor matching, standard C-mount interface and visible spectrum design allow seamless integration with area-scan industrial cameras, vision controllers and mainstream image analysis software.

Typical Application Scenarios

Pharmaceutical vial & cap appearance inspection, beverage bottleneck thread detection, micro screw fastener quality testing, plastic cosmetic shell QC, miniature cylindrical electronic component dimensional measurement, curved-surface marking code reading.

360° Outer Wall Detection Lens 1/1.8″ C-Mount Machine Vision Inspection Lens

This single-camera 360° panoramic annular lens simultaneously captures full circumferential outer wall and top surface details of cylindrical workpieces without multi-camera setup or image stitching.

Designed for 1/1.8” industrial sensors with adjustable F8–F16 aperture, it delivers distortion-free omnidirectional imaging for automated inline quality control of miniature cylindrical components.
