4K 35mm Line Scan Lens, 0.05X-0.25X for 7µm Industrial Cameras

Who Is This 35mm Line Scan Lens Designed For?

This model is suitable for machine vision system integrators, automation equipment manufacturers and factory vision engineers building line scan inspection systems.

It is a practical candidate when the project requires:

• A 4K line scan camera with approximately 7µm pixels
• An active line sensor length within the Ø32mm image circle
• A 35mm focal length for industrial line imaging
• Very low distortion for width, edge and pattern inspection
• Multiple magnification and working-distance configurations
• M42, M72 or F-Mount integration

Why Use a Line Scan Lens?

A line scan camera captures one line of pixels at a time while the product or camera moves. This makes line scan imaging especially useful for continuous materials, long products, rotating objects and high-speed production lines.

Compared with a conventional area-scan system, a line scan setup can acquire a continuous image across a long product without requiring the complete object to fit inside one frame.

• Continuous web, sheet and material inspection
• PCB and circuit trace inspection
• Surface scratch, stain and texture detection
• Color consistency and pattern inspection
• Long-part edge and width inspection
• High-speed automated production inspection

Ø32mm Image Circle and 7µm Camera Compatibility

The PMS-LLA02-3528M supports a maximum Ø32mm image circle and is specified for 7µm line scan cameras.

A typical 4096-pixel line sensor with 7µm pixels has an active line length of approximately 28.7mm. This fits within the specified image circle and leaves additional coverage margin for alignment and sensor geometry.

Final compatibility should still be confirmed using the exact camera model, active line length, mount and required edge-image quality.

Magnification, Working Distance and Line Field of View

The approximate object-side line field of view is calculated by dividing the active line-sensor length by the optical magnification. Actual usable coverage depends on camera alignment, focus position, image quality requirements and mechanical installation.

Important: The working-distance and conjugate-distance values above are reproduced from the source specification and should be confirmed with the selected mount and camera before final system approval.

Very Low Distortion and Uniform Line Imaging

The specified distortion is below 0.05%, helping reduce geometric error in edge detection, width inspection, circuit trace analysis and pattern comparison.

Relative illumination is specified at 65%. Lighting uniformity, exposure time and the mechanical alignment of the camera and object remain important for achieving consistent brightness across the full line.

For applications that require stable magnification when object height changes, a telecentric line scan optical solution should be evaluated.

Mount Options and System Integration

The lens can be configured with M42, M72 or F-Mount interfaces. The correct interface should be selected according to the camera flange, sensor position and mechanical installation.

• Focal length: 35mm
• Aperture range: F2.8-F16
• Maximum image circle: Ø32mm
• Resolution: 7µm
• Distortion: <0.05%
• Relative illumination: 65%

Typical Line Scan Applications

• PCB defect and circuit trace inspection
• Surface scratches, dents and contamination detection
• Texture, color and coating inspection
• Continuous web, film, paper and sheet inspection
• Electronic component and lead-frame inspection
• Long-part edge and width inspection
• Printing and label quality inspection
• Automated production-line image acquisition

When This Lens Is a Good Fit

• Your system uses a 4K line scan camera with approximately 7µm pixels
• The active line length is within the Ø32mm image circle
• The required magnification is 0.05X, 0.20X or 0.25X
• The available working distance matches one of the specified configurations
• Your application requires very low distortion and uniform line imaging
• M42, M72 or F-Mount integration is suitable

When to Consider Another Optical Solution

• The active line length exceeds the Ø32mm image circle
• The pixel size is significantly smaller than 7µm and higher optical resolution is required
• The required working distance does not match the specified configurations
• The inspection requires a different magnification or line field of view
• Object height variation must not affect magnification
• The project requires a telecentric line scan lens or a larger-format mount

1. Line scan camera model
2. Pixel count and pixel size
3. Active line-sensor length
4. Required object-side line field of view
5. Available working distance
6. Line rate and object movement speed
7. Smallest defect or feature to detect
8. Required width or positioning accuracy
9. Lighting method and object surface
10. Camera mount and available installation space

Reduce Selection Risk Before Ordering

Selecting a line scan lens by focal length alone may result in insufficient sensor coverage, incorrect line field of view, unsuitable working distance or inadequate optical sampling.

Before quotation, POMEAS can review the camera model, active sensor length, pixel size, required line field of view, magnification, working distance and smallest defect to confirm whether this lens is a suitable option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this lens support a 4K line scan camera?

Yes. The lens is designed for 4K line scan imaging and is specified for cameras with approximately 7µm pixels and an active line length within the Ø32mm image circle.

What line field of view can the lens provide?

With a 28.7mm active line, the approximate line fields are 573mm at 0.05X, 143mm at 0.20X and 115mm at 0.25X.

What mount options are available?

The source specification lists M42, M72 and F-Mount options. Confirm the exact camera flange before ordering.

Is this a low-distortion line scan lens?

Yes. The specified optical distortion is below 0.05%.

Is it suitable for precision measurement?

It can support width, edge and calibrated inspection tasks. If object height variation must not affect magnification, a telecentric line scan lens should be evaluated.
