16mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 5MP 16mm M12 IR corrected lens is designed for compact vision systems where optical performance, mechanical size, and wavelength stability all need to be considered. The <0.3% distortion specification helps maintain accurate object geometry, while the IR-corrected optical design is beneficial in systems that operate with both visible and near-infrared illumination.

For industrial inspection, the 16mm focal length provides a relatively concentrated field of view, making the lens suitable for inspecting individual components, assemblies, labels, connectors, electronic parts, and other defined target areas rather than large scenes.

The compact Φ14 × 16mm body is particularly useful for embedded cameras installed inside machinery, inspection fixtures, access-control equipment, and other devices where a larger C-Mount lens would create mechanical constraints.

The lens can also be integrated into applications requiring infrared-assisted imaging. Unlike a conventional visible-light-only lens, its IR Corrected configuration is designed to reduce focus shift between visible and near-infrared wavelengths, helping maintain more consistent image sharpness when illumination conditions or imaging wavelengths change.

For optical engineers selecting between different sensor formats, focal lengths, and image circles, the Lens Selection Guide provides additional guidance for industrial lens selection.
