New Scale Technologies, Victor, NY, offers the Squiggle optical zoom module for phone cameras that uses the patented SQUIGGLE motor. The module achieves lens travel greater than 4 mm with better than 10-micrometer closed-loop repeatability. The module’s cross-section of 10 x 12 mm is slightly larger than the 8-mm-diameter lens. The module’s 18-mm length reflects the optical and physical properties of the lens elements and image sensor. The final dimensions of the module are determined by the customer’s choice of optics and image sensor.
