Lens Unit Assembly System

Lens Unit Assembly System

High-Speed, High-Precision Assembly of Compact Camera Lens Units

This is a fully-automated assembly system which removes pre-arranged camera lens module components in sequence from a tray and uses image recognition to assemble each component. It supports state-of-the-art high-precision assembly by detecting gate orientation and component positions with high precision.

  • Standard support for 13 components and 6 lenses (including barrel).
  • Optional support for up to 17 components and 8 lenses (including barrel)

Features

  1. Capable of high-precision, high quality assembly, supporting state-of-the-art high resolution
  2. Greatly reduced defect rate, due to pushing (adjusting) operation to support parallel insertion after insertion of each lens
  3. High-cycle specifications: Minimum machine cycle of 5 s per unit
  4. Uses imaging system for consistent D cut detection and improved position correction accuracy
  5. Fully-automated type, requiring simple insertion of workpieces, reducing number of operators required
  6. Simple product switchover process reduces time taken by 50% compared to previous (for Iwatani products)
  7. Allows addition of stages to cope with more components

Gate Cutting System

Gate Cutting System

Full Automation of Gate Cutting After Plastic Lens Molding

Performs high-precision cutting of plastic lenses for use in smartphones and vehicle-mounted devices, and arranges them on dedicated trays by cavity. Uses a heated cutter with an original servo drive to not only ensure a highly-accurate cut face, but also minimize any distortion due to cutting. Production history (traceability) is also available as an option.

Main Applications

  • Plastic lenses (for smartphones, vehicle-mounted devices, SLR cameras, digital cameras, projectors, etc.)
  • SLR camera viewfinders, etc.
