Aspheres For Laser Tools

• Single lens provides same performance as doublets & triplets
• Simple, compact design reduces system costs
• Molded lenses provide greater performance repeatability
• High-volume production design saves money

In today’s manufacturing environment, laser tools are a common method for generating guidelines and measuring distances or surface profiles. These tools include laser levels, laser pointers, line projectors, laser scanners, and laser trackers. LightPath’s aspheric lenses are designed for use in today’s high- performance laser tools and measurement systems.

Aspheric lenses provide a single lens solution to laser projection. These aspheric lenses provide a cost savings over spherical doublets and triplets without sacrificing performance. Time consuming and expensive mounting and alignment of doublets and triplets can be replaced with a simple single lens mount. Aspheric lenses also have higher transmission than multi-lens systems due to less optical material and allow more compact packaging to be produced.
