Frequently Asked Questions
1What is an industrial lens?
An industrial lens is an optical lens designed for machine vision, automation, AI imaging, and industrial inspection applications requiring high precision and imaging stability.
2How do I choose the right machine vision lens?
Choosing the right machine vision lens depends on sensor size, focal length, working distance, field of view, distortion requirements, and lighting conditions. A properly matched lens improves image clarity, inspection accuracy, and overall system performance.
3What is field of view in machine vision?
Field of view (FOV) refers to the visible area captured by a camera and lens system. In machine vision applications, the correct field of view ensures that the target object is fully captured with the required level of detail and measurement accuracy.
4What causes optical distortion?
Optical distortion is caused by the curvature and design of lens elements, which can make straight lines appear curved in an image. Common types include barrel distortion and pincushion distortion. Low distortion lenses help improve imaging precision in industrial vision systems.
5What sensor size should I use?
The ideal sensor size depends on your application requirements, including resolution, field of view, working distance, and lighting conditions. Larger sensors generally provide higher image quality and wider coverage, while smaller sensors are suitable for compact imaging systems.
6What is the difference between M12 and C-Mount lenses?
M12 lenses are compact and lightweight lenses commonly used in embedded vision and small camera systems, while C-Mount lenses are larger industrial lenses designed for higher imaging performance, larger sensors, and more demanding machine vision applications.
