WinTest to Showcase Liquid Lens 'RYUGU' at Image Sensing Expo 2026, Enabling Magnification Control via Electrical Signals

WinTest Corporation (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; President: Hui Jiang; TSE Standard: 6721) exhibited its liquid lens 'RYUGU (Ryugu)' at the 'Image Sensing Expo 2026,' held at Pacifico Yokohama from June 10 (Wed) to June 12 (Fri), 2026. The lens enables high-speed and flexible control of focal length and magnification through electrical signals.

In recent years, the growing automation in manufacturing and the widespread adoption of AI-powered image recognition technologies have increased the demand for fast and high-precision image acquisition. However, conventional glass or plastic lenses, made of solid materials, cannot freely adjust focal length or magnification during use.

WinTest's liquid lens 'RYUGU' leverages proprietary technology combining liquid and electrical signals to enable real-time changes in lens characteristics. With an extremely fast response speed of 15ms (milliseconds), it is expected to be applied in industrial applications such as factory inspection systems, industrial cameras, and various image sensing devices.

Exhibition Overview

□ Event Name: Image Sensing Expo 2026

□ Dates: June 10 (Wed) – June 12 (Fri), 2026

□ Venue: Pacifico Yokohama, Exhibition Hall D

□ Booth Number: 10

□ Exhibited Product: Liquid Lens 'RYUGU'

Key Features of the Liquid Lens 'RYUGU'

1. Electrically Controlled Variable Focus and Magnification

Unlike conventional fixed lenses, 'RYUGU' allows arbitrary adjustment of focal length and magnification by applying external electrical signals.

2. High-Speed Response of 15ms

By utilizing changes in liquid shape, the lens achieves high-speed focus control in approximately 15ms, making it suitable for high-speed conveyor lines and similar applications.

3. Motor-Free Design

Since the liquid inside the lens is electronically controlled, the system enables compact and space-saving designs compared to conventional motor-driven mechanisms.

4. Broad Industrial Applications

- Visual inspection systems

- Industrial cameras

- Image sensing equipment

- AI image recognition systems

- Automation equipment (FA)

The company proposes diverse applications across multiple fields.

Development Background

In manufacturing environments, there is a growing trend toward adopting automated inspection systems to improve product quality and address labor shortages. Under these conditions, demand is rising for optical technologies capable of instantly focusing, even when the position or size of the target object changes.

Leveraging its long-standing expertise in inspection and image processing technologies, WinTest is actively developing and commercializing liquid lens technology as a next-generation image sensing solution.

Demonstration at the Exhibition

Over the three-day event, 9,316 visitors attended, with 256 individuals—including representatives from major manufacturers, trading companies, universities, and medical institutions—visiting WinTest's booth. The exhibition featured an enhanced demonstration setup, allowing attendees to fully experience the product's benefits. The company expresses its sincere gratitude to all visitors.
