Low Distortion Lens – CCL118076MP

CCL118076MP 7.6mm 6-Megapixel Fixed Focal M12 low distortion lens with <1.4% distortion, 60° FOV and 1/1.8″ format for machine vision.

7.6mm 6MP M12 Low Distortion Lens

This 7.6mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require accurate image reproduction, 6MP resolution, and controlled geometric distortion. With a 1/1.8″ image format, 60° diagonal FOV, and TV distortion below -1.4%, it provides reliable imaging performance for applications where object shape and positional accuracy are important. The fixed F2.6 aperture, 0.2m minimum object distance, and compact M12 × 0.5 mount make this lens suitable for embedded cameras, industrial inspection systems, smart cameras, and other space-constrained vision devices. Designed for low-distortion machine vision applications, this 7.6mm fixed focal lens provides a practical balance between image coverage and optical accuracy.

Product Core Highlights

• Low Distortion Imaging: TV distortion below -1.4% helps maintain accurate geometric representation across the image.
• 6MP Resolution: Supports detailed image capture for demanding compact vision systems.
• 1/1.8″ Sensor Compatibility: Designed around the 1/1.8″ image format and tested with the IMX178 sensor specification provided.
• Compact M12 Design: M12 × 0.5 mounting makes the lens suitable for embedded and space-constrained camera designs.
• 7.6mm Fixed Focal Length: Provides a 60° diagonal FOV with a practical balance between coverage and image detail.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

The optical characteristics of this M12 low distortion lens make it particularly suitable for applications where image geometry needs to remain controlled rather than maximizing the field of view.

Industrial Inspection

The low distortion performance helps preserve the relative shape and position of objects captured by compact inspection cameras. It can be considered for dimensional inspection, component positioning, surface inspection, and automated visual checking where excessive barrel or pincushion distortion could affect image interpretation.

Compatible devices: Industrial cameras, embedded inspection cameras, compact machine vision cameras, and smart inspection modules.

Machine Vision

For machine vision systems using a 1/1.8″ sensor, the 7.6mm focal length provides a 60° diagonal FOV while keeping distortion below -1.4%. This combination can support image-based measurement, object detection, alignment, and positioning tasks.

Compatible devices: M12 machine vision cameras, embedded vision modules, smart cameras, and compact inspection systems.

Why Choose This Low Distortion M12 Lens?

This lens is a strong option when a compact camera requires 6MP resolution without sacrificing geometric accuracy. Compared with conventional wide-angle M12 lenses, its 60° diagonal field of view and < -1.4% TV distortion are better suited to applications where image shape, object position, and visual measurement matter. The 7.6mm focal length, fixed F2.6 aperture, 0.2m M.O.D., and compact 2G2P optical construction also provide a practical configuration for embedded industrial imaging systems.
