New Autofocus Module

The new customizable focus module M3-F adds precision lens motion to the smallest OEM cameras. A fully integrated package measuring only 20 x 22 x 18.5 mm. The module mounts on the board camera PCB and can easily replace the lens holder in existing fixed-focus camera designs or new developed designs. M3-F modules have low power consumption and 3.3 V input voltage for battery-powered operation.

They accept high-level digital motion commands via standard serial interface (I2C, SPI or USART). Modules are customized to fit your lens (from M8 to M12) and provide lens motion with 0.5 µm position resolution and better than 30 µm accuracy.

M3-F developer’s kits provide convenient evaluation of the M3-F system and prototyping for your design. The developer’s kit includes a focus module and a USB stick to convert computer commands directly from New Scale Pathway PC Software to the focus module. Kits can accept a broad range of lenses and accommodate image sensors up to 17 x 17 mm. Kits are pre-configured to accept I2C, SPI or USART serial commands.
