Low Distortion Lens – CCL13042MPF

CCL13042MPF Low distortion wide angle 4.2mm M12 mount lens HD megapixel rectilinear scanning

4.2mm 14MP M12 Ultra Low Distortion Lens

The 4.2mm 14MP M12 Ultra Low Distortion Lens is a high-resolution fixed focal lens designed for compact machine vision, industrial inspection, embedded imaging, and other applications requiring precise image geometry. Supporting a 1/3″ image format and 14MP resolution, this M12 lens delivers a 73° diagonal, 62° horizontal, and 48° vertical FOV, providing balanced scene coverage for compact vision systems. With distortion below 0.2%, the lens is designed to minimize geometric deformation and maintain accurate object proportions across the image. Its F3.0 fixed aperture, 0.2m minimum object distance, and M12x0.5 mount provide a practical optical configuration for fixed-position imaging. The compact Φ15.31 × 14.5mm dimensions and 21.84mm TTL further support integration into space-conscious camera designs.

Ultra Low Distortion Lens Application

High-Resolution Machine Vision Inspection

The combination of 14MP resolution and <0.2% distortion makes this lens suitable for machine vision applications where both image detail and geometric accuracy are important. It can support inspection tasks involving object positioning, dimensional assessment, surface inspection, and feature recognition.

Precision Industrial Imaging

The ultra-low distortion specification helps reduce geometric deformation when imaging industrial components and objects. This makes the lens suitable for fixed-position industrial cameras used in automated inspection, object detection, and visual positioning systems.

When choosing an optical system for a precision imaging application, TOWIN’s Distortion Guide provides additional information about distortion and its impact on imaging.

Embedded High-Resolution Vision

Despite its 14MP imaging capability, the lens maintains a compact M12 form factor. This makes it suitable for embedded vision modules, smart cameras, compact inspection devices, robotic vision equipment, and other systems where camera size and optical performance need to be balanced.

TOWIN’s M12 Lenses portfolio includes additional compact M12 optical solutions for different sensor and FOV requirements.

Object Detection & Visual Measurement

The <0.2% distortion specification can be advantageous for applications where object position and shape need to be represented consistently in the image. The 62° horizontal FOV provides moderate scene coverage without moving into an extreme wide-angle configuration.

Why Choose This 14MP M12 Low Distortion Lens?

This lens is designed for vision systems that require a combination of high resolution, extremely low distortion, moderate field of view, and compact mechanical dimensions. Compared with conventional megapixel M12 lenses, its 14MP resolution and <0.2% distortion make it particularly attractive for applications where image detail and geometric consistency are both important.

The 4.2mm focal length also differentiates this product from longer focal length M12 lenses used for narrower fields of view, making it a practical option for systems requiring broader scene coverage within a compact installation.

For assistance with selecting focal length and FOV, TOWIN provides a dedicated FOV Calculator.
