Two New RICOH FL Series FA Lenses
extending the existing lens lineup to be compatible
with one-inch format cameras up to nine megapixels
Ricoh Industrial Solutions Inc. (President and CEO: Katsunori Nakata) will be
introducing two new manual iris lenses compatible with 1” format cameras up to 9
megapixels in January 2015. These new flagship lenses will be a great addition
to the existing products of the RICOH FL Series, can be used to process images
for a wide range of applications including electronic substrates.
Despite their 9 megapixel high resolution, these new lenses have a φ42mm
compact design. Troublesome lens distortions during image measurement and
recognition have been significantly reduced to be less than 0.1% (TV distortion
value), enabling capture of high resolution images right up to the periphery.
These lenses will exhibit excellent performance in capturing precision machining
products such as electronic substrates and wafers, requiring high resolution lens
solutions.
These lenses will bring the RICOH FL Series to a total of 45 models, together
with the lenses for cameras with 1/3”, 1/2” and 2/3” formats. The RICOH FL
Series has become a lineup of lenses that respond to the diverse needs of our
customers. In the future, Ricoh Industrial Solutions Inc. will continue striving to
further expand sales in the FA lens market.

<Key Features of the Two New RICOH FL Series FA Lenses>
1. High resolution and high contrast at 9 megapixels
These lenses are compatible with 3.69μm pixel pitch, 1” format industrial cameras
with resolution of up to 9 megapixels. From the center to the periphery, the lenses
have a high resolution of 135 lp/mm. Due to minimal degradation of resolution right
up to the periphery they produce sharp, high contrast images. Therefore, even
images on the periphery can be suitable for measurement and inspection.
Their focusing uses a floating mechanism design which reduces aberrations from
an infinite to close working distance.
2. φ42mm compact design
To fit in a 44mm housing used for most 9 megapixel cameras, these lenses have a
φ42mm compact design ideal for installation in high performance equipment.
3. Low distortion
Troublesome lens distortions for image measurement and recognition have been
reduced. TV distortion is reduced to less than 0.1%, with very little image distortion,
making them ideal for image measurement.
