Engineered to deliver micron-level precision, zero-distortion imaging, and rugged reliability for state-of-the-art machine vision applications.
The manufacturing sector in the United States is undergoing a historic transformation. Driven by supply chain reshoring, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the massive expansion of gigafactories for electric vehicles (EVs), US industrial facilities are rapidly upgrading to automated, high-precision environments. In this new era, the demand for high-reliability machine vision systems is soaring.
At the center of every advanced machine vision system is the industrial camera lens. It acts as the physical eye of the system, capturing raw visual data with the fidelity required for AI-driven decision-making. From the automotive assembly lines in Michigan to the semiconductor fabs in Arizona and Oregon, precision optical components are critical to ensuring zero-defect quality control, reducing waste, and maximizing throughput.
As US factories shift towards tighter tolerances, standard optical components are no longer sufficient. Telecentric lenses, which eliminate perspective error and distortion, have transitioned from niche scientific instruments to standard industrial requirements across the United States.
Critical for sub-micron alignment and wafer inspection in advanced fabrication facilities across Silicon Valley, Oregon, and Texas.
Ensuring absolute compliance with FDA regulations by verifying dimensions of surgical instruments, syringes, and blister packs.
Withstanding high-vibration environments with aseismic-designed lenses to inspect weld quality, battery cells, and mechanical alignments.
As technology advances, industrial imaging requirements are shifting toward larger formats, higher resolutions, and smarter processing.
Modern high-speed cameras in the US are adopting larger sensor sizes (such as 1", 1.1", and 82mm line scan sensors) to capture more light and detail. Lenses must feature larger image circles to prevent vignetting and maintain corner-to-corner sharpness.
Traditional lenses suffer from parallax error, causing objects to appear to change size when they move closer or further from the camera. Bi-telecentric lenses eliminate this error, providing constant magnification across the entire depth of field.
Industrial environments are harsh. Vibration from heavy machinery can cause internal glass elements in standard lenses to shift. Lenses with ruggedized, aseismic internal mechanics ensure long-term optical alignment and calibration stability.
AI inspection algorithms are only as good as the input images they receive. High-contrast, low-distortion telecentric lenses ensure that AI models receive consistent, crisp data, leading to higher classification accuracy and lower false-reject rates.
Building the complete supply chain to deliver world-class telecentric optical products globally.
From manufacturing to creation, we are on the way
Canrill Optics, established in 2009, is the first one to focus on the manufacturing & marketing of telecentric lens and telecentric lens design in China, and the only one to build the complete supply chain with our own mechanical factory and optical factory in industry lens all over the world.
Over the years, as a custom lens manufacturer, Canrill lens has been upgraded four generations with advanced technology and performance, earned the trust from worldwide clients, and have successfully made cooperation with world-famous brands, like Samsung, Apple, LG, Huawei, Han’s Laser, TSMC, etc.
Our objective is to produce a top-level lens and become one of the leaders in telecentric technology.

How our high-precision optical solutions are integrated into key American industries to drive efficiency and quality.
With massive semiconductor manufacturing facilities expanding in Arizona, Oregon, Ohio, and New York, the demand for sub-micron inspection is unprecedented. Lenses like our 16.2mm Bi-Telecentric Lens are critical for wafer defect inspection, die bonding alignment, and BGA (Ball Grid Array) component measurement. Because telecentric lenses eliminate perspective distortion, they ensure that microscopic features are measured with absolute dimensional accuracy, regardless of slight variations in height or positioning.
In the automotive manufacturing hubs of Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) requires advanced automated inspection of battery pouch cells, cylindrical cells, and battery pack assemblies. Lenses with ruggedized, aseismic designs (such as our MH Series) are integrated onto robotic arms to inspect weld seam integrity and component dimensions directly on the factory floor, where continuous vibration would cause standard lenses to lose focus and calibration.
Medical device manufacturers in Minnesota, Massachusetts, and California must adhere to strict FDA quality control regulations. Inspecting the geometry of surgical needles, orthopedic implants, and syringe barrels requires non-contact, high-precision measurement. Using our 11mm Bi-Telecentric Lens, vision systems can inspect parts to ensure they meet exact geometric specifications down to the micron level, preventing defects from reaching patients.
With the rise of automated distribution centers and continuous web manufacturing (paper, metal foils, film) across the US, high-speed line scan imaging is essential. Lenses like the ZFL Series Line Scan Lens and our 16K Line Scan Lens are designed to cover large, high-resolution sensors, capturing crisp, high-contrast images of fast-moving webs to detect surface defects, print errors, or barcode information in real time.

Every machine vision application has its own unique set of constraints, including working distance, field of view, sensor selection, and spatial limitations. As a vertically integrated manufacturer, we offer comprehensive OEM/ODM custom lens design services to meet the specific requirements of the US market.
Unlike many lens suppliers who outsource their manufacturing, we own and operate both our mechanical and optical factories. This full supply chain control provides significant advantages to our US customers:
Consistency: Direct oversight of glass polishing and metal housing fabrication ensures consistent quality from batch to batch.
Flexibility: We can easily modify mechanical dimensions or optical coatings to accommodate specialized industrial cameras and challenging installation spaces.
