poLight ASA (OSE: PLT) and e-con Systems® announced today that they have implemented control of poLight TLens® tunable lens technology in the e-con Systems See3CAM Camera module platform. Featuring embedded tunable optics lens control function in the USB 3.0 based cameras, the prototype camera module delivers plug-and-play functionality accelerating design time for industrial and machine vision applications. A demo system will be available for private showings at automatica, June 24-27, 2025, in Munich, Germany. To schedule a meeting or view the demo, contact info@polight.com
Last month, poLight announced the development of its new line of M12 OTS focusing camera lens, based on the ultrafast (~1ms), ultralow power consuming (~1mW) TLens®. These new lenses support 1/3” image sensors such as Sony’s popular IMX900 sensor and enable design engineers to rapidly set and change object/focal distances to accommodate different scenarios. Embedding the M12 lens into the e-con Systems See3CAM platform with native lens control enables design engineers to utilize tunable optics functionality in new machine vision applications.
“This development is an important step in establishing a strong design ecosystem for industrial machine vision OEMs and furthering our commitment to off-the-shelf tunable optics,” said Dr. Øyvind Isaksen, CEO of poLight ASA. “We are excited to work with industry leaders such as e-con Systems, advancing imaging innovation for 3D and AI robotic vision use cases.”
“Our integration of poLight’s TLens® technology into the See3CAM platform gives OEMs a head start in developing next-gen industrial and AI robotics applications—with tunable focus, low latency, minimal power draw, and true plug-and-play functionality — all in a ready-to-deploy camera module. We’re happy to collaborate with poLight on this innovation, which reduces design complexity and accelerates time-to-market for our customers’ product,” said Prabu Kumar, Chief Technology Officer at e-con Systems.
The company anticipates M12 add-on lens products will be available in volume production in 1H 2026, in initially with three focal lengths:
- 6mm
- 13mm
- 19mm
poLight offers an evaluation kit which includes two M12 prototype lenses and a standard TLens® evaluation kit, enabling easy control of the driver board via a USB connection to a PC or Mac computer.
