Navitar Resolv4k® vs. predecessor model

The new Navitar lens series Resolv4k® has been on the market for some time now. Does this new lens series offer you advantages in your company? We take a look at a few points and explore this question.

After all, you don't want to invest in a pointless upgrade. An upgrade should give you advantages in controlling your product quality and, if possible, save further costs. In the best case scenario, customer satisfaction and therefore sales will increase. Does a Navitar Resolv4k® lens offer all this?

Comparison between the Navitar 6000 and a Navitar Resolv4k®

The Resolv4k® lens series is a new development from Navitar. It was specially developed for newer sensors. This means that their advantages can be utilized very well. In particular, the higher pixel density can be reproduced with the Resolv4k® lenses. This results in significantly sharper and more detailed images.

The higher resolution therefore makes it possible to image a much larger field of view. Compared to its predecessors, the Resolv4k® series images a 400-600% larger field without sacrificing image quality.

You can clearly see that the new lens series delivers a much sharper image. You can now detect much finer damage. In addition, the light yield of the Resolv4k® lens is higher due to the larger possible aperture.

Different visible wavelengths

The various possible coatings of the new lenses also offer you the option of imaging different wavelengths. With the Vis-NIR coating, you can inspect a surface very precisely by imaging blue light. If you want to detect deeper damage, use the SWIR coating. This is particularly suitable for wafer and solar cell inspection. You can also use SWIR coating for inspection in the food industry.

Summary of the innovations of the Resolv4k® lenses:

Various coatings are possible (SWIR and NIR)
4-6 times higher resolution
Larger possible aperture

For whom are these innovations particularly important?

If you previously needed several cameras to capture a certain field of view, you can make savings with this lens series. From now on, you will only need one camera with a Resolv4k® lens. The Resolv4k® lens allows you to digitally zoom into the image. Only at a magnification of 4-6 times do they achieve the quality of a predecessor lens.

If you still want to display the usual field of view per camera, you now have the option of seeing much more detail. The higher resolution of the Navitar Resolv4k® allows you to control your production even better. You can detect production errors much easier and better with this lens series. This increases your product quality and your customers gain even more confidence in you and your products.

This new lens series is particularly suitable for quality control in the production of fine and very high-quality products. This makes it even easier for you to ensure high and consistent quality.
