Basler's new Lens Selector Helps Find the Right
Lens
The new Lens Selector from Basler simplifies the long search for a suitable lens for
Basler area scan cameras. The right lens is now just a mouse click away.
Ahrensburg, 12 January 2015 – Thanks to Basler's sophisticated new Lens Selector, users
can quickly and easily identify a suitable lens with the right focal length for their camera
application. Working with the camera's sensor data, the tool proposes suitable series of
lenses that fit with the size and resolution of the sensor. In some cases that recommendation
is not final, though, as the customer's specific application will determine whether a lens with
lower resolution characteristics is sufficient.
The Lens Selector is built around a complex set of calculations, but from the user standpoint
it is remarkably easy to use: Visitors to http://www.baslerweb.com/lens-selector can enter the
pertinent data for their application (such as necessary angle of view, working distance, object
size, etc.). The Lens Selector then calculates the necessary focal length and proposes
suitable lenses.
Beyond the Lens Selector, Basler also offers other tools such as three Camera Selectors and
the Interface Advisor. Depending on which type of camera is required, separate selectors for
area-scan, line-scan and network cameras are available. The user can provide parameters
for resolution, sensor technology and optics and the selector then suggests suitable camera
models. The Interface Advisor helps you identify the right interface. It makes this
determination based on criteria such as cable lengths, available bandwidth, Plug & Play
relevance, expectations of real-time performance and system costs.
