  • Patent number: 11582380
    Abstract: A focus module for an optoelectronic sensor is provided that has a focus adjustable optics, a focus adjustment unit for varying a focal position of the optics, and a focus control to move the optics into a focal position corresponding to a distance value by means of the focus adjustment unit. The focus module here furthermore has a distance sensor for determining the distance value and the focus adjustment unit, the focus control, and the distance sensor are parts of the focus module.

  • Patent number: 11226467
    Abstract: A focusing device for an optical system that has a carrier and an objective arranged thereat comprises a first guide section that is configured for fastening to the carrier or is designed in one piece therewith, a second guide section that forms a holder for the objective, at least one spring element that forms an elastic connection of the first guide section to the second guide section, and an actuator for adjusting the second guide section in and against an adjustment direction with respect to the first guide section, wherein the spring element is areal at least regionally. The spring element has at has one stiffening zone in which a first surface section of the spring element is bent over along a bending edge with respect to a second surface section of the spring element.
