The Gardasoft TR-CL180 is a single-channel industrial Lens Controller which provides very accurate and repeatable control of tunable lenses. The TR-CL180 has been developed in close collaboration with Optotune. The TR-CL180 includes a precise, constant current drive for the liquid lens and is able to read data stored within the liquid lens. It is compatible with Optotune EL-10-30-Ci, EL-16-40-TC and EL-3-10 tunable lenses.
A new white paper discusses the embedded implementation of lens control for motorised lenses and liquid lenses: Embedded Lens Control White Paper.
With a fast focus change (1ms), the TR-CL180 enables dynamic lens control in Machine Vision systems which must function with objects of varying heights - Postal identification for example.
Microscopy and Life Sciences are also key market sectors for tunable lens control, addressing applications such as Z slices, Light sheet imaging, In vivo (live tissue) imaging, and many types of automated imaging. There is a National Instruments LabVIEW Utility available for the TR-CL Series, and this is particularly relevant for applications in these sectors.
For volume applications, or where lens controller functionality is required in a special format, Gardasoft Vision can supply specific solutions that are tailored to your requirements. Please contact us for more information.
