Dimensional Drawing & Optical Test Data

The drawing below is the mechanical outline and specification table from the SAM3512D datasheet — use it to check the mount, flange distance and lens envelope against your housing before you order. Per-model MTF and distortion data is issued with the full datasheet and can be supplied as a signed test report.

SAM3512D dimensional drawing and specification table, from the SAM3512D datasheet

Dimensional drawing and specification table — SAM3512D datasheet. Full-size PDF, 3D model and measured MTF / distortion test reports are available on request.

Measured, not typical

MTF is measured on an optical transfer function instrument covering 0–500 lp/mm (visible / NIR) and 0–60 lp/mm (LWIR), with on-axis accuracy better than ±2%.

Distortion budget

TV distortion −0.1% Distortion is measured to better than 0.25% accuracy, so the figure in the datasheet is usable directly in your measurement model.

Per-unit test reports

Production units can ship with a signed test report from our CMA / CNAS accredited optical testing center — specify the test items when you order.

Applications

Where the SAM3512D Is Used

3C Electronics

PCB AOI, SMT placement, connector pins and character / 2D-code verification.

Semiconductor

Wafer mark ID, lead-frame alignment and bonding inspection.

Precision Parts

Springs, threads, seals and small turned parts at micron-level resolution.

Logistics & AGV

Dimensioning, dynamic code reading and multi-height SKU capture.

System Integration

What to Pair It With

A lens rarely fails on its own — it fails because the light, the camera interface or the mechanics were chosen in isolation. Here is what we recommend checking before you order.

Illumination

Ring light for flat parts, coaxial for reflective surfaces, low-angle bar light for embossed features.

Camera

A C-mount camera matched to the specified sensor format.

Filters

Bandpass or polarising filter in the M35.5xP0.5 to kill ambient light on the line.

Mechanics

C-mount extension tubes if you need a shorter working distance, plus a locking focus ring for vibration-prone stations.
