Power Up Your Vision: Corning® Varioptic® C-C Series Lenses

Corning C-C Series Lenses: Seamless Barcode Reading from Warehouse to Production Line

Corning® Varioptic® continues to revolutionize the imaging landscape with the expansion of its C-C-Series product line.

Building on the success of the C-C-39N0-A1-160 lens, launched in June 2023, this new series promises to deliver exceptional performance and compatibility for a wide range of imaging applications.

Macnica ATD Europe is excited to present these innovative solutions, designed to meet the evolving needs of professionals across industries.

Next-Level Optical Performance

The new Corning® Varioptic® C-C-Series lenses are engineered to offer outstanding optical performance, setting a new standard for resolution and sensor compatibility.

With a remarkable 20-megapixel resolution and support for sensor sizes up to 1.1 inches, these lenses are perfect for applications requiring precise image capture.

The adjustable focus capability, ranging from 15 cm to infinity, further enhances their versatility, making them an excellent choice for industrial inspection, scientific research, and advanced imaging systems.

Application Focus: Barcode reader
