C-Mount Lens – CCL231530MMPC

C-mount lens with a 15-30mm focal length, 2/3″ image format, 5MP resolution, F1.4 aperture, <1% distortion, and IR correction, suitable for various applications.

2/3″ 5MP C-Mount 15-30mm Manual Zoom Lens

This 2/3″ 5MP C-Mount zoom lens combines a 15–30mm manual zoom range, F1.4 aperture, and less than 1% distortion for precise and flexible industrial imaging. With IR-corrected optical performance, it is well suited for FA lenses, machine vision lenses, industrial lenses, and professional CCTV systems requiring stable image quality across different focal lengths.

For systems that require careful focal-length and field-of-view matching, users can also refer to the Lens Selection Guide when selecting the appropriate industrial lens configuration.

C-Mount Zoom Lens Core Highlights

• 15–30mm Manual Zoom: Provides flexible focal-length adjustment for different inspection distances and framing requirements.
• 5MP High-Resolution Imaging: Supports detailed image capture for industrial inspection and machine vision applications.
• Less Than 1% Distortion: Maintains strong geometric accuracy for measurement, recognition, and inspection tasks.
• F1.4 Large Aperture: Allows more light to reach the sensor for stable imaging in demanding illumination conditions.
• IR-Corrected Optical Design: Helps maintain consistent focus when systems operate across visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

C-Mount Zoom Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2/3″ C-Mount 15–30mm zoom lens is designed for industrial imaging systems where both framing flexibility and geometric accuracy are important. Unlike fixed-focal machine vision lenses, its manual zoom mechanism allows integrators to adjust the focal length during system setup, making it useful for inspection stations with different working distances or fields of view.

With a horizontal FOV of 34° to 18% and a low distortion level below 1%, the lens is particularly suitable for factory automation, machine vision inspection, component recognition, dimensional inspection, and industrial monitoring where image geometry needs to remain stable across the selected focal length.

The F1.4 aperture also provides an advantage in applications where illumination is limited or where a faster optical system is required. Its IR-corrected design makes it suitable for imaging systems that combine visible-light and near-infrared illumination, expanding its usefulness beyond conventional daylight imaging.

Designed for industrial inspection and flexible machine vision applications.
