Product Core Highlights

• 10–50mm manual zoom for flexible field-of-view adjustment.
• 8MP resolution for detailed industrial imaging.
• 1/1.8″ sensor coverage for high-resolution machine vision cameras.
• F2.0–16 aperture range for adaptable light and depth-of-field control.
• 0.5m M.O.D. for relatively close industrial inspection setups.

The wide focal-length range allows one lens to cover multiple inspection configurations without replacing the optical assembly. From a broader 39.5° horizontal view at 10mm to a concentrated 8° view at 50mm, this C-Mount zoom lens can adapt to different target sizes, camera positions and inspection requirements.

C-Mount Zoom Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 10–50mm industrial zoom lens is designed for machine vision systems where the required field of view may change between different inspection stations or during system commissioning. Instead of being restricted to a single focal length, the manual zoom mechanism allows engineers to adjust the image coverage according to the target size and camera installation position.

At the 10mm setting, the lens provides a 39.5° horizontal FOV and 30° vertical FOV, making it suitable for relatively broad inspection zones, production-line monitoring and larger components. When adjusted toward 50mm, the FOV narrows to 8° horizontally and 6° vertically, allowing the camera to concentrate on smaller targets or specific areas of a larger production environment.

The 8MP resolution makes the lens appropriate for detailed image acquisition, while the F2.0–16 manual aperture allows the optical system to be tuned according to lighting conditions and depth-of-field requirements. The 0.5m minimum object distance also supports inspection configurations where the camera needs to work relatively close to the target.

This flexibility is particularly useful during machine vision system development, where the exact working distance or target framing may change during optical integration. Engineers can use the FOV Calculator to estimate image coverage at different focal lengths before finalizing the installation.

Designed for flexible factory automation, multi-distance inspection and adjustable-field industrial imaging applications.
