Standard and Custom Optics Available at Surprisingly Affordable Prices


CAMBRIDGE, Mass - THE VALUE ENGINEERING ALLIANCE announces a strategic alliance with LENSATION (Karlsruhe, Germany), which will widen the availability of the lenses and optical component design services enjoyed by LENSATION customers.

Companies and individuals with requirements for standard lenses will benefit by being able to obtain, at appreciably lower prices, lenses and other optical components comparable to those they are currently using. These include various kinds of board lenses, general purpose C-Mount lenses, and telecentric lenses, available in both regular and industrial versions. OEMs stand to gain the most from this new alliance by being able to 1) get cost-optimized series productions of their existing designs, 2) obtain new designs free of charge by placing volume orders, and 3) secure cost-effective prototypes. This alliance's lens design and manufacturing specialists are capable of making lenses as small as 1 mm and as large as 300 mm in diameter, and can do production runs of as few as five pieces. THE VALUE ENGINEERING ALLIANCE/LENSATION collaboration invites inquiries from all interested parties, but especially those whose ideas or projects were rejected by other optics design houses.

The Lensagon FC825M15 exemplifies the alliance's product development process. This 185 degree lens was specifically designed for use with cameras that feature 15.2 mm x 15.2 mm imaging area sensors such as Kodak's KAI-402X series CCDs.

The delivery of the highest quality goods is assured due to the QC programs in place and the fact the companies that produce LENSATION lenses have extensive experience using and selling lens test equipment. The use of customer-specified test protocols is available.
