The Embedded Current Controller ECC-1C allows to control liquid lenses directly from camera or embedded systems, thus offering a compact and convenient solution for fast integration. Our industrial lenses can be ordered with the ECC-1C already integrated.
Key advantages:
- Connects directly to cameras and embedded systems
- Current control from -300 to +300 mA in 80 µA steps
- USB, UART/I2C (autodetect), Analog input (0 – 10V) and GPIO trigger interfaces
Optotune’s single channel Industrial Current Controller (ICC-1C) is for robust, precise and reliable 24/7 operation. It offers various interfaces and powering options and is designed for our industrial lenses (Hirose connector) but accept OEM lenses through an extension board.
Key advantages:
- Output current up to +/-500 mA
- High output current stability in whole temperature range
- Ethernet, USB, UART/I2C (autodetect), Analog input (0 – 10V) and GPIO trigger interfaces
- Three power supply options (Barrel connector, PoE, USB-C Power Delivery)
Optotune’s ICC-4C-500 is for robust, precise and reliable 24/7 operation. It comes with various interfaces and different powering options and can control up to 4 lenses. It is designed for industrial lenses (Hirose connector) but OEM lenses can be connected through an extension board.
Key advantages:
- Output current of +/-500 mA
- Controls up to 4 lenses at the same time
- Ethernet, USB, UART/I2C (autodetect), Analog input (0 – 10V) and GPIO trigger interfaces
The Electrical Lens Driver 4 offers a simple yet precise way to control Optotune’s OEM-type electrical lenses with 6- pin FPC cables and comes in a plastic housing.
Key advantages:
- Current control from -290 to +290 mA with 12 bit precision
- USB powered
The Electrical Lens Driver 4i offers a simple yet precise way to control Optotune’s industrial version lenses with 6-pin Hirose connectors and comes in a steel housing.
Key advantages:
- Current control from -290 to +290 mA with 12 bit precision
- USB powered
