Edmund Optics Wins 3rd Place in 2025 inspect Award for HP+ and HPi+ Fixed Focal Length Lenses

Edmund Optics^®, a leading global manufacturer of optical components and imaging solutions, has been awarded 3rd Place in the 2025 inspect award in the Vision category. The recognition honors the company’s newly released TECHSPEC^® HP+ and HPi+ Fixed Focal Length Lenses, which impressed voters with their high resolution and versatile performance.

Available in focal lengths of 16 mm, 25 mm, and 35 mm, the HP+ and HPi+ lenses are lightweight, space-saving, and ideal for demanding machine vision applications. Both lenses are optimized for cameras with 1.2" sensors and support resolutions up to 24.5 megapixels. They deliver outstanding image quality while maintaining mechanical stability – making them a perfect fit for vision systems in constrained spaces such as robotic arms or automated inspection systems.

While the HP+ Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses includes locking focus and iris rings plus a front filter thread for flexible integration, the  HPi+ Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses offers a streamlined, iris- and focus-free design that minimizes size, weight, and cost – perfect for SWaP-sensitive applications. Both product lines ensure high performance even under varying environmental conditions.

“We are thrilled to receive this recognition, which once again highlights our commitment to innovation and the trust our customers place in our products,” said Gregg Fales, Director Marketplace at Edmund Optics. “The HP+ and HPi+ series are a strong addition to our portfolio, offering system designers flexibility without compromising on performance.”

The inspect award is presented annually by inspect, a leading European trade journal for machine vision and optical metrology. Products are nominated across four categories – Vision, Automation & Control, Best Innovation from SMEs and Artificial Intelligence – and final winners are determined by a public vote. Readers of inspect cast their votes for the innovations they find most impressive and forward-looking, making the award a valued indicator of industry impact and user appreciation. This recognition further underscores Edmund Optics’ long-standing reputation for excellence, joining a broad collection of industry honors – including several previous inspect awards.
