Zoom 6000
 

Zoom 6000 System
• Dynamic magnification range of 0.08-212X offers incredible versatility.
• High contrast im
ages and vivid colors help your equipment perform better.
• 0.02-125.68 mm field coverage allows you to view a wide range of parts.
• Working distance can be varied from 36 to 356 mm.
• Add infinity corrected objective lenses to achieve unmatched edge flatness and clarity.A

Workhorse to Fit Nearly Any Application
With a diverse selection of body tubes, accessory optics, motorized configurations and lighting techniques, the Zoom 6000 is Navitar’s workhorse with unbeatable versatility. This modular zoom lens system has Navitar’s world-renowned optics built in and the "building block design" can be configured to fit nearly any application.

 
6.5:1 Zoom Ratio, Long Working Distance and Large Field of ViewZoom 6000 Lens System
The parfocal optical system of the Zoom 6000 has a 6.5:1 zoom ratio, a 0.7X to 4.5X zoom range, and total magnification (depending on lens adapters and attachments used) of 0.08X to 212X. The working distance can be varied from 36 mm (1.5") to 356 mm (14"). The achievable field of view can vary from 0.02 mm to 125.68 mm.

Unsurpassed Optical Performance
The optical system of the Zoom 6000 produces images of the finest optical quality. Chromatic aberration and distortion have been virtually eliminated. With the Zoom 6000 lenses, images are crisp and clear and display optimum contrast with a minimum flare over the entire field of view.

Manual or Detented for Calibrated Repeatability
The Zoom 6000 lenses are available in a manual design, as well as a detented version for calibrated repeatability.

Motorized for Automation
If you are building highly automated systems, you will like the Zoom 6000’s DC or stepper motor options for motorized zoom and focus functions.

Navitar configures DC motors that allow continuous movement throughout the zoom or focus range. Stepper motor versions allow fine incremental movements or steps. A variety of optical and mechanical limit switches can be included to enhance the overall performance of the system.

 

 

 

 


Motorized Zoom
 

Innovative Motorization

  • Position location is referenced using a new Hall Effect sensor for repeatability.
  • Three different motor packages available.
  • Control system available as either table top or board level.
  • Communication via serial RS-232 or USB.
  • Includes LabView “VI” and Windows user interface.

Hall Effect Sensors
Introducing Navitar’s new line of standard equipment featuring motorized zoom lenses with advanced computer control. These new motorized zoom lenses are designed to offer systems integrators and end users a complete optical solution.

Navitar’s new motorization design, available on the Zoom 6000 system, integrates magnetic Hall Effect sensors to reference position location. The Hall Effect sensing mechanism utilizes a magnetic field to trigger a pulse in a semiconductor circuit. This principle is now used in almost all ignition systems currently being produced. Compared to older photo-electric sensors, the Hall Effect sensors are insensitive to contamination, room light and variation in system voltages.

User can choose to motorize the zoom axis, focus axis, or both. Three different motor types are available:

2 Phase Stepping Motor (Faulhaber)
Available August 1, 2003

Two phase current mode steppers.

5 Phase Stepping Motor (Oriental, Vexta)
December 2003 Delivery

Small footprint motor with high torque.

DC Servo with Encoder (Faulhaber)
February 2004 Delivery

Brush type coreless DC micromotors with integrated magnetic encoders.

Specific motor information is available on request.

New Control Systems
All Navitar Zoom 6000 motorized systems can be ordered with a fully integrated control system.

Navitar’s control systems feature single or dual axis control via serial RS-232 or USB. Software includes National Instruments “VI” or a Windows Graphical User Interface “GUI” for simple axis control. Where appropriate, arrangements will be made for supplying the underlying software code for OEM platform assimilation.
