Industrial Lens – C1201014M5

C1201014M5 is C-Mount 12.5mm 5-Megapixel Manual FA Industrial Lens, F1.4~16 aperture, Low distortion lens, suitable for low-light conditions.

1″ 12.5mm F1.4 5MP C-Mount Industrial Lens

This 1″ 12.5mm C-Mount Industrial lens is designed for 5MP industrial cameras and automated inspection systems requiring a balanced combination of resolution, brightness, and geometric accuracy. With a fast F1.4 aperture, <1.6% TV distortion, and 66° diagonal FOV, it provides reliable imaging for factory automation, dimensional inspection, robotics, and industrial vision applications.

C-Mount Industrial Lens Highlights

• 1″ sensor compatibility for industrial cameras requiring a relatively large image format.
• 5MP resolution supports detailed inspection and machine vision imaging.
• F1.4–16 aperture range provides high light-gathering capability and flexible exposure control.
• <1.6% TV distortion helps maintain accurate representation of object geometry.
• C-Mount interface supports integration with a wide range of industrial and machine vision cameras.
• M46 × 0.75 filter thread allows compatible optical filters to be integrated into the imaging system.

C-Mount Industrial Lens Applications

Precision Industrial Inspection

The 12.5mm focal length provides a practical field of view for inspection systems that need to capture a defined working area without using an extremely wide-angle lens. With 66° diagonal, 55° horizontal, and 42° vertical FOV on a 1″ format, the lens can cover a useful inspection area while maintaining a relatively controlled perspective.

The <1.6% TV distortion specification is particularly useful when the captured image is used for dimensional comparison, edge detection, component positioning, or visual measurement. Lower geometric distortion can help reduce image deformation when straight edges, circular components, or other dimensional features need to be analyzed.

Factory Automation & Machine Vision

The F1.4 maximum aperture provides strong light-gathering capability for machine vision systems operating with short exposure times or limited illumination. The adjustable F1.4–16 aperture also allows system integrators to balance brightness and depth of field according to the inspection requirement.

For automated production lines, this lens can be paired with 5MP industrial cameras for applications such as component inspection, product positioning, surface inspection, assembly verification, and dimensional checking.

For selecting the appropriate sensor and lens combination, the Sensor Guide can help engineers evaluate image format compatibility, while the Lens Selection Guide provides additional guidance for matching focal length, sensor size, and application requirements.

Robotics and Automated Equipment

The 12.5mm focal length and manual optical adjustments make this lens suitable for fixed-camera installations on robotic workstations and automated equipment. It can be used for object detection, part localization, assembly verification, and visual guidance where consistent image geometry is important.

For robotic vision systems requiring different working distances or fields of view, TOWIN’s Robotics Vision solutions provide additional application references.
