This 6.3mm M8 miniature industrial lens is designed for compact machine vision and embedded imaging systems using 1/2.5″ or 1/2.7″ sensors. With 5MP resolution, TV distortion below 0.4%, and a compact M8 × 0.35 mount, it provides a practical combination of wide scene coverage, controlled geometry, and space-efficient camera integration.
Because the lens supports two sensor formats, the actual image coverage varies according to the selected sensor. Engineers can use the Sensor Guide when evaluating sensor compatibility and optical image coverage.
This 6.3mm M8 low distortion lens is intended for compact vision systems where mechanical size and image geometry both matter. Its 48° horizontal FOV on a 1/2.5″ sensor provides useful scene coverage without relying on an extreme wide-angle or fisheye optical design.
The <0.4% TV distortion specification makes the lens particularly useful when image shape needs to remain relatively consistent across the captured scene. It can therefore be considered for compact inspection cameras used to detect component presence, identify product features, inspect printed markings, or perform basic dimensional and positional analysis.
The M8 × 0.35 interface is an important advantage for embedded camera designers. Compared with larger C-Mount and CS-Mount assemblies, the miniature mounting format can help reduce camera-module size and simplify installation inside compact equipment. This makes the lens suitable for small robotic vision modules, embedded inspection devices, automation sensors, and OEM camera assemblies.
Because this model is specified as without IRCF, it is best suited to systems where the camera’s spectral filtering is handled separately or where visible-light imaging requirements do not require an integrated IRCF configuration. For optical system design, the Optical Design section provides additional background on lens configuration and imaging performance.
Designed for compact machine vision inspection, embedded industrial cameras, and miniature vision modules requiring controlled distortion.
For projects where working distance and target size determine the required focal length, engineers can use the Focal Length Calculator during preliminary optical selection.
Q: Which sensors are compatible with this 6.3mm M8 lens?
A: The lens is specified for both 1/2.5″ and 1/2.7″ image formats, giving camera designers flexibility when selecting the sensor.
Q: What is the field of view on a 1/2.5″ sensor?
A: On a 1/2.5″ sensor, the lens provides 59° diagonal, 48° horizontal, and 37° vertical FOV.
Q: What is the field of view on a 1/2.7″ sensor?
A: On a 1/2.7″ sensor, the specified FOV is 55° diagonal, 49° horizontal, and 28° vertical.
Q: Is this lens a low distortion lens?
A: Yes. Its specified TV distortion is below -0.4%, making it suitable for applications where controlled image geometry is important.
Q: Is this an M12 lens?
A: No. This model uses an M8 × 0.35 mount. It should therefore be categorized under Towin’s M8/M7/M6 Miniature Lenses rather than M12 Lenses.
Q: Does this lens have an infrared cut filter?
A: No. The supplied specification states Without IRCF, meaning an integrated infrared cut filter is not included in this configuration.
Q: What is the minimum object distance of the lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.2m, or 200mm.
Q: What applications are suitable for this miniature industrial lens?
A: Potential applications include compact machine vision inspection, embedded vision modules, robotic cameras, automation sensors, and OEM camera systems where a small mounting interface and low distortion are required.
