5.28mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

The 5.28mm focal length is designed for a 1/1.8″ image format and provides an 83° diagonal and 75° horizontal field of view. This relatively broad coverage makes the lens suitable for vision systems that need to capture a larger working area without using an ultra-wide or fisheye optical configuration.

With 8MP resolution, the lens is well suited to higher-detail imaging tasks such as industrial inspection, object detection, component positioning, and automated visual monitoring. The F2.4 aperture provides a useful optical configuration for compact camera systems where maintaining practical light collection is important.

The specified <1.3% TV distortion offers controlled geometric performance for general industrial imaging. However, it should not be positioned as an ultra-low-distortion lens when compared with TOWIN models specified below 0.5% distortion.

The 29.52mm TTL provides additional mechanical length compared with ultra-compact M12 modules, giving system designers a useful option when the camera housing can accommodate a longer optical assembly.

Typical application scenarios include:

• Machine vision inspection
• Industrial object detection
• Component positioning
• Automated visual inspection
• Robotic vision
• Embedded AI vision
• Industrial monitoring
• Smart factory imaging
• Object recognition systems
• Compact high-resolution cameras

For applications where the relationship between sensor size and lens coverage is important, TOWIN’s Sensor Guide can help engineers evaluate sensor and lens compatibility. The Lens Selection Guide provides additional guidance on focal length, FOV, and other lens parameters.

Compatible Devices

This lens can be considered for:

• 1/1.8″ industrial cameras
• 8MP machine vision cameras
• M12-mount board cameras
• Embedded vision cameras
• Compact AI vision modules
• Robotic vision cameras
• Industrial inspection systems
• Smart factory imaging devices
• High-resolution embedded cameras

Before integration, the camera designer should verify the sensor’s actual active area against the specified Φ9.5mm image circle and confirm that the required field of view is achieved at the intended working distance.

Designed for high-resolution industrial and machine vision applications requiring broad scene coverage from a compact M12-mount lens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What sensor format is this 5.28mm M12 lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/1.8″ image format, with a Φ9.5mm image circle specification.

Q2: What is the field of view of the 5.28mm lens?
A: At 1/1.8″, the specified FOV is 83° diagonal, 75° horizontal, and 46° vertical.

Q3: Is this an 8MP machine vision lens?
A: The lens is specified with 8MP resolution and is suitable for machine vision applications where its 1/1.8″ format, FOV, distortion, and other optical parameters meet the system requirements.

Q4: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: The specified TV distortion is below 1.3%. This represents controlled distortion, but the lens should not be positioned as an ultra-low-distortion model compared with products specified below 0.5%.

Q5: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: No. An 83° diagonal FOV does not by itself indicate a fisheye design. The lens is better classified as a fixed focal wide-angle M12 lens.

Q6: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The specified MOD is 0.2m, or 200mm.

Q7: What does “Without IRCF” mean?
A: It means the supplied optical construction specification does not include an IRCF configuration. It should not be interpreted as an IR-corrected lens.

Q8: Can this lens be used for a 1/1.8″ 8MP camera?
A: Yes, the supplied specification is for a 1/1.8″ image format and 8MP resolution. The camera’s actual sensor dimensions and the Φ9.5mm image circle should still be checked during final optical integration.
