Autofocus Cameras
Pixelink’s USB 3.0 one touch autofocus cameras deliver fast, precise, and reliable focusing for high-speed imaging applications. Utilizing advanced Varioptic electrowetting liquid lens technology, these cameras achieve rapid, silent focus adjustments from just a few centimeters to infinity in under 20 milliseconds-ideal for environments where speed and accuracy are critical.
Designed for seamless integration, the liquid lens connects directly to the camera, eliminating the need for separate drivers and enabling host software-controlled focusing. This makes Pixelink cameras well-suited for demanding tasks such as PCB inspection, facial and retinal biometrics, medical and biotechnology imaging, and bar-code reading.
Key Features:
-
One-push, high-speed autofocus: Instantly shift focus between points with minimal delay.
-
Seamless liquid lens integration: Compact, low-power design with durable construction tested for over 100 million cycles-no performance loss even after extensive use.
-
Wide focus range: Achieve sharp images from a few centimeters to infinity.
-
Easy application development: Rapid integration with the Pixelink SDK for custom autofocus solutions.
-
Fix focal lens options: from 2.6mm to 50mm
Advantages:
-
Large optical variation range: Electrowetting technology allows significant phase shift for versatile focusing needs
-
Exceptional durability: Withstands over 100 million focus cycles without degradation
-
High shock resistance: Maintains performance before and after shock exposure
-
Ultra-fast response: Refocuses in milliseconds, outperforming traditional mechanical autofocus systems
-
Low power consumption: Operates at approximately 15mW, up to ten times lower than conventional autofocus systems.
Pixelink’s autofocus liquid lens cameras offer a robust, high-speed solution for industrial and biomedical imaging, combining speed, reliability, and ease of integration for a wide range of machine vision applications sales.pixelink@ametek.com.

Pixelink Autofocus is integrated with Pixelink Capture Software. The innovative and agile application enables the user to develop autofocus vision applications with multi-camera functionality.
Pixelink Capture’s built-in autofocus capability supports both single point and multiple point autofocus. When launched with an autofocus camera, the application takes advantage of the speed of the autofocus liquid lens technology and reconfigures in milliseconds, for each autofocus shot.
Users now have the ability to drag and drop or arrange windows as they like. As a multi-camera application with a built-in autofocus application, Pixelink Capture offers tremendous flexibility and power allowing vision engineers the ability to configure and test multi-camera vision applications.
For advanced users, Pixelink Capture offers options of more complex image enhancements for exposure control, filtering, frame-by-frame property changes, and multi-camera application testing and configuration, all viewable in the preview window prior to capture.
