These lenses allow machine vision system integrators to achieve extended depth of field while maintaining high throughput and speed, opening up new possibilities in high-speed imaging applications. These lenses won the Gold-Level Award.

TECHSPEC^® Cw Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses are waterproof versions of the TECHSPEC^® C Series Lenses that eliminate the need for a protective cover over machine vision systems in harsh environments. They meet IEC Ingress Protection Codes IPX7 and IPX9K and can withstand exposure to water up to 1 meter deep for 30 seconds and operate in close-range high pressure, high temperature water spray downs. The Cw Series Lenses integrate directly with waterproof cameras and provide machine vision system integrators a compact, sealed option ideal for harsh environment applications including food, pharma, automotive, and security. These lenses won the Bronze-Level Award.
