poLight ASA Expands MLens® Off-The-Shelf Portfolio Supporting Higher-Performance, Larger-Format Industrial Machine Vision Applications

TØNSBERG, Norway – 16 June, 2026 -- poLight ASA (OSE: PLT) today announced the addition of a 13.6mm and a 19.7mm lenses to its MLens® off-the-shelf (OTS) portfolio, offering even more focal lengths, while retaining the speed, power efficiency, and reliability of the MLens® platform. Based on the company’s ultrafast, ultralow power consuming TLens® tunable optics technology, these new lenses enable design engineers to rapidly set and change object/focal distances to accommodate different scenarios. Product samples, a supporting evaluation kit plus several live and static demos will be on display in our booth 10022 North Hall at Automate, June 22-25 in Chicago, Illinois.

Yole Group estimates the industrial machine vision market to reach USD $7.8 billion with a CAGR of 2.1 per cent by 2029. The analyst firm also projects that the global humanoid robot market will reach USD $51 billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 55%. All three applications require advanced, AI-driven imaging requirements combined with ultrafast, ultralow power consuming and robust autofocus lens.

The new lenses deliver key performance capabilities commonly found in AI-based imaging applications including XR smart glasses, micro-display optics, smart machine vision cameras, robotics, barcode readers and high-speed automation demanding constant field of view focusing from infinity to macro.

• Larger aperture for higher light throughput
• Expanded optical range and flexibility
• Improved optical quality at scale
• System-level integration advantages

The new lenses join the 6.6mm and 7.5mm MLens® portfolio options, sharing a common mechanical and electrical interface allowing end users and installers to select or change lenses easily.

“Our industrial and machine vision customers face rapidly growing AI-based imaging challenges in shrinking design windows,” said Dr. Øyvind Isaksen, CEO of poLight ASA. “The MLens® portfolio provides a standard, “off the shelf” product that delivers TLens® performance without having to design a full custom lens, enabling OEMs to quickly ramp their advanced technology.”

The MLens® portfolio includes a full support platform and ecosystem including a TLens® EVK, enabling easy control via a USB connection to a PC or Mac computer. Image Quality Labs offers a Raspberry Pi system available on DigiKey, and camera modules supporting MLens® are available from companies in the poLight Partner program. MLens® is compatible with a variety of processor platforms. To order MLens® samples and an evaluation kit, contact info@polight.com
