3.5mm M12 Industrial Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 3.5mm M12 lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require more scene coverage than a conventional narrow-angle lens while retaining a practical fixed-focus configuration. On the specified AR0144 sensor, it provides a 71° diagonal field of view, making it suitable for cameras that need to observe a defined working area without the extreme perspective associated with fisheye optics.

The F1.2 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability for embedded cameras operating under indoor, factory, or variable-light conditions. Combined with the 3.5mm focal length, the optical configuration can provide useful coverage when the camera is installed at a relatively short or moderate distance from the target.

The M12 × 0.5 mount and 22.4mm total track length make the lens suitable for compact camera assemblies where mechanical space is limited. Its fixed‑iris, manual‑focus and fixed‑zoom setup works especially well for OEM camera systems: technicians adjust the lens during assembly, and the system thereafter runs from a stationary mounting position.

For industrial‑imaging projects, this lens fits compact inspection modules, embedded monitoring cameras, robotic‑vision hardware, and specialized machine‑vision equipment that require a moderate‑wide viewing angle. Engineers should evaluate the specified < -12% distortion according to the application: it may be acceptable for general object detection and scene monitoring, but applications requiring precise dimensional measurement may require additional distortion correction.

The Sensor Guide can help engineers evaluate the relationship between the AR0144 sensor format and the optical design, while the Lens Selection Guide provides additional guidance when selecting focal length, FOV, and working distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor is this 3.5mm M12 lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/4″ image format with an FOV configuration based on the AR0144 sensor.

Q: What is the field of view of this M12 lens?
A: At the specified AR0144 configuration, the lens provides a 71° diagonal FOV, 60° horizontal FOV, and 38° vertical FOV.

Q: Is this a fisheye lens?
A: No. The 71° diagonal FOV is significantly narrower than typical fisheye configurations. This lens is better described as a compact fixed focal length industrial lens rather than a fisheye lens.

Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified distortion is less than -12%. It is not positioned as a low-distortion lens for precision measurement applications.

Q: What advantage does the F1.2 aperture provide?
A: The F1.2 aperture provides relatively strong light-gathering capability, which can help maintain image brightness in indoor and variable-light environments.

Q: What type of mount does this lens use?
A: It uses an M12 × 0.5 mount, making it suitable for compact embedded cameras, industrial vision modules, and customized OEM camera assemblies.

Q: Is the focal length adjustable?
A: No. The focal length is fixed at 3.5mm. The specification also identifies the iris and zoom as fixed, while focusing is performed manually.

Q: Can this lens be used for machine vision applications?
A: Yes. It can be used for selected machine vision applications requiring a compact M12 lens, megapixel imaging, and moderate-wide scene coverage. For precision measurement, the specified distortion should be evaluated as part of the complete imaging system.
