Developer’s kits now available for tiny M3-F focus module for use in miniature OEM cameras

Easy-to-integrate modules enable precision motorized lens motion in miniature OEM cameras for biometric security, machine vision, medical diagnostics and more

 

Victor, NY - August 25, 2010 – New Scale Technologies, Inc. today announced that developer's kits for its miniature M3-F focus module are available for purchase online, shipping from stock, at http://shop.newscaletech.com.

 

Each kit includes an M3-F module for precision closed-loop lens motion, along with a USB adapter and New Scale Pathway software for easy evaluation and prototyping. Configured for I2C or SPI serial interface, the modules in the developer’s kits accommodate M12 or smaller lenses and image sensors up to 17 x 17 mm.


Each M3-F module is an integrated micro-mechatronics system incorporating a piezoelectric SQUIGGLE micro motor, position sensor, driver and microprocessor in a compact 20 x 22 x 16 mm housing. With small size and low power use, it is ideal for OEM camera systems. Mounted over the sensor on an OEM board camera, it improves image quality and efficiency in applications such as biometric imaging, machine vision and medical diagnostic systems.
