Nikon has strengthened its industrial solutions offering by establishing Rayfact lenses as a dedicated product category on its global English-language platforms.
The move groups the company’s specialised machine vision optics into a single accessible lineup targeting defect inspection in semiconductor, flat panel display, and printed circuit board manufacturing.
The expanded catalogue features the flagship RF series, which utilises floating mechanisms to maintain performance across variable magnification ranges. The lineup also includes the TC series of double telecentric lenses, designed for high-resolution line sensors, and the UV series, engineered specifically for ultraviolet imaging.
“Rayfact lenses feature a design optimised for machine vision applications, making the lenses ideal for inspections in a wide range of fields, including optical sheets, films, wafers, and substrates,” said Nikon.
Improved chromatic aberration correction
Additional series in the dedicated category include the high-durability NR line, which maintains compatibility with AI Nikkor 35mm mounts, and the IL series, which offers improved chromatic aberration correction whilst supporting EL-Nikkor 50mm and 63mm formats.
Nikon said the dedicated category aims to support industrial innovation by applying over 100 years of optical expertise to the requirements of automated quality control and inspection systems.
More information about the new lenses is available on the company’s website.
