Summary
A profession that inspects whether the focal performance (focus) of optical lenses meets the standards using dedicated measuring devices and ensures product quality.
Description
Lens focus inspectors are specialists who inspect the focal performance of optical lenses and lens units. They operate measuring devices such as collimators, interferometers, and optical benches to measure focal length, aberrations, and image sharpness. They record and analyze measurement results, reporting and excluding products that deviate from standard values as defective. Work is often in clean rooms, paying attention to fine dust and dirt while maintaining stable accuracy. They collaborate with manufacturing processes and quality control departments, providing feedback on inspection data to contribute to improvements in manufacturing conditions.
