4.1mm 6MP M12 Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens for 1/1.8″ Sensors

This 4.1mm M12 lens is designed for high-resolution imaging systems that require wide scene coverage, low distortion, and a compact optical structure. Supporting 1/1.8″ image sensors and 6MP resolution, it provides a 96° diagonal, 84° horizontal, and 67° vertical field of view while maintaining distortion below -0.4%. With a fixed F4.0 aperture, 0.1m minimum object distance, and compact Φ14 × 17.2mm dimensions, this lens is well suited for embedded cameras, compact inspection systems, robotics vision, smart monitoring, and other space-constrained imaging applications.

Low Distortion Lens Core Highlights

• 6MP high-resolution imaging — Supports detailed image capture for compact vision and monitoring systems.
• 96° diagonal wide FOV — Provides broad scene coverage with a 4.1mm focal length.
• < -0.4% low distortion — Helps maintain image geometry for applications requiring accurate visual information.
• 0.1m minimum object distance — Supports close-range imaging where the camera needs to observe nearby objects or equipment.
• Compact M12 design — Φ14 × 17.2mm dimensions and M12 × 0.5 mounting simplify integration into space-limited camera systems.

Wide-Angle Imaging with Low Distortion

The 4.1mm focal length provides a broad 96° diagonal field of view while maintaining distortion below -0.4%. This combination makes the lens suitable for applications that need to observe a relatively large scene without relying on an extreme fisheye design.

Its 1/1.8″ image format and 6MP resolution provide a balance between image detail and compact mechanical integration. The 84° horizontal FOV is particularly useful when the camera needs to capture a wider working area from a relatively short distance.

For engineers matching sensor formats with optical performance, TOWIN’s Sensor Guide can help evaluate sensor and lens compatibility.

Close-Range Imaging Capability

A key advantage of this model is its 0.1m M.O.D., which allows the lens to focus on objects at a relatively short distance. This makes it useful for compact inspection and monitoring systems where the camera is installed close to the target.

The combination of wide FOV and short minimum object distance can help capture both the target and its surrounding area without requiring excessive camera-to-object spacing.

Low Distortion Lens Applications

Compact Machine Vision Inspection

The 6MP resolution and low distortion make this lens suitable for compact inspection cameras that need to capture detailed objects while maintaining relatively accurate image geometry. The 0.1m M.O.D. is particularly useful for close-range inspection of components, equipment, and work surfaces.

Robotics Vision

The wide 84° horizontal FOV can help robotic cameras observe a broader working area from a compact installation position. The short M.O.D. also supports close-range observation of robotic tools, components, and workspaces.

Embedded Industrial Cameras

With a Φ14 × 17.2mm housing and M12 × 0.5 mount, the lens is suitable for embedded imaging devices where available installation space is limited. It can be integrated into compact industrial cameras, inspection modules, and customized vision equipment.

Smart Monitoring and Object Recognition

The 96° diagonal FOV enables broad scene observation, while the low-distortion optical design helps preserve object shape. This combination can be used for indoor monitoring, equipment observation, object detection, and compact smart-camera systems.

Close-Range Imaging Systems

The 0.1m minimum object distance makes this lens particularly suitable for applications where the camera is positioned close to the target. Potential uses include equipment monitoring, near-field inspection, embedded observation modules, and compact automation cameras.

Compatible Devices

This lens is designed for imaging devices using 1/1.8″ sensors with an M12 × 0.5 lens interface, including compact machine vision cameras, embedded industrial cameras, robotic vision modules, smart monitoring cameras, inspection devices, and customized camera systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?
A: This is a 4.1mm M12 fixed focal wide-angle lens designed for 1/1.8″ sensors, with 6MP resolution, < -0.4% distortion, and a 96° diagonal FOV.

Q: What sensor size does this M12 lens support?
A: The lens is designed for 1/1.8″ image sensors and supports up to 6MP resolution based on the supplied specifications.

Q: What is the field of view of the 4.1mm lens?
A: The lens provides a 96° diagonal, 84° horizontal, and 67° vertical field of view.

Q: Is this considered a low distortion lens?
A: Yes. With specified distortion below -0.4%, this lens is designed for applications where geometric accuracy and reduced image deformation are important.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.1m, making the lens suitable for relatively close-range imaging applications.

Q: Is this lens IR corrected?
A: No. The specification includes an IR cut filter, but an IR cut filter is not the same as IR-corrected optics. IR correction refers to optical performance across visible and infrared wavelengths, while an IR cut filter blocks unwanted infrared wavelengths.

Q: What mount does this lens use?
A: It uses an M12 × 0.5 mount, which is commonly used for compact camera modules, embedded vision cameras, and other small-form-factor imaging systems.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this lens for a specific application?
A: TOWIN can evaluate requirements such as sensor format, focal length, FOV, resolution, distortion, aperture, mechanical dimensions, and mounting interface for customized optical solutions. Contact TOWIN to discuss your project.
