Low Distortion Lens Applications

Compact Machine Vision Inspection

The 12mm focal length provides a balanced field of view for close-range inspection where the camera needs to capture a defined working area without using an ultra-wide lens. With a 0.1m minimum object distance and 5MP resolution, this lens is suitable for compact machine vision cameras used to inspect small components, connectors, labels, packaging details, and assembly features.

For applications where accurate image geometry is important, the lens can also be integrated into Machine Vision systems for automated inspection and quality control. Its fixed focal length helps maintain consistent imaging conditions across repeated production cycles.

Embedded Factory Automation Equipment

The compact M12 form factor makes this lens particularly suitable for embedded vision equipment where installation space around the camera is limited. The Φ14 × 11.5mm dimensions allow optical integration into compact inspection modules, robotic equipment, production-line sensors, and automated identification devices without requiring the larger mechanical envelope commonly associated with conventional C-Mount industrial lenses.

The lens is also suitable for selected M12 Lenses applications where manufacturers need a fixed focal length, 5MP imaging capability, and coverage for 1/2″, 1/1.8″, or 2/3″ sensors.

Close-Range Component and Assembly Inspection

With a 0.1m minimum object distance, this lens can be positioned close to the inspection target. This makes it useful for checking component presence, assembly position, surface features, printed information, and dimensional details on compact production lines. The 50° diagonal field of view on a 2/3″ sensor provides a practical balance between coverage and image detail for near-field inspection.

Compatible device examples: 5MP industrial cameras, compact M12 machine vision cameras, embedded inspection cameras, automated optical inspection modules, production-line vision sensors, robotic inspection cameras, and customized OEM vision modules using 1/2″, 1/1.8″, or 2/3″ CMOS sensors.

For systems where sensor size and field of view need to be matched precisely, the Sensor Guide and FOV Calculator can help engineers evaluate the optical configuration before deployment.
