16mm Focal Length for Controlled Viewing
The 16mm focal length provides a 23° horizontal field of view on a 1/2″ sensor, offering a more focused perspective than wide-angle M12 lenses. It is suitable for applications requiring a defined inspection area and greater subject emphasis.
Fast F1.4 Aperture
The F1.4 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability, making this lens particularly useful for industrial cameras operating under limited or changing illumination.
A fast aperture can also provide greater flexibility when selecting camera exposure settings for high-speed imaging applications.
Designed for 1/2″ Sensors
The optical configuration is designed around a 1/2″ image sensor, providing a suitable image circle for compatible industrial cameras and machine vision systems.
Manual Iris Control
The manual iris allows the amount of light entering the camera to be adjusted according to the actual lighting environment. This provides machine vision engineers with greater flexibility when optimizing exposure and depth of field.
Manual Focus Adjustment
Manual focus allows the optical focus position to be precisely adjusted during camera installation. This is particularly useful for fixed industrial inspection systems where the working distance remains stable.
C-Mount Interface
The C-Mount interface provides compatibility with a broad range of industrial cameras and machine vision platforms. It also makes the lens suitable for systems where a standard C-Mount mechanical interface is preferred.
0.3m Minimum Object Distance
With a 0.3m M.O.D., the lens can be used for relatively close inspection setups while maintaining its 16mm focal length configuration.
Compact Mechanical Design
The Φ37 × 36.9mm dimensions provide a relatively compact package for a manual-aperture, manual-focus C-Mount lens, helping simplify integration into industrial camera systems.
Machine Vision Inspection
The 16mm focal length and 23° horizontal FOV provide a controlled viewing area suitable for industrial inspection tasks where the camera needs to focus on a defined region rather than capture an extremely wide scene.

Industrial Automation
The combination of C-Mount compatibility, manual focus and manual iris makes this lens suitable for automation equipment where optical parameters need to be adjusted during system commissioning.
High-Speed Inspection
The F1.4 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability, which can be beneficial in machine vision systems using short exposure times for moving objects or high-speed production lines.
Low-Light Industrial Imaging
The fast F1.4 aperture makes the lens suitable for applications where available illumination is limited or where additional optical throughput is required.
Object Detection & Measurement
The 16mm focal length provides a relatively controlled perspective for applications involving object positioning, inspection and visual detection. For precision measurement, however, the complete camera-lens-working-distance configuration should be evaluated together.
Robotics Vision
C-Mount lenses with moderate focal lengths can be integrated into robotic inspection systems where a defined viewing area is required at a specific working distance.
TOWIN also provides dedicated Robotics Vision Lens Solutions for automated imaging and robotic inspection systems.
