HC series
360° Hypertelecentric lens for inner surface inspection

The Opto Engineering® HC Series captures images of the inside and bottom surfaces of cans, bottles, pipes, cups and more.

Thanks to a special optical design, images of the interior can be obtained from directly above without the need for an inserted lens.

Two series are available: the HCSI series, which allows simultaneous observation of the inner and bottom surfaces, and the HCBI series, which is specialized for imaging the bottom surface.
