2.5mm M7 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.5mm M7 low distortion machine vision lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a wide viewing area without the pronounced geometric deformation often associated with wider-angle optics. Its 88° diagonal and 75° horizontal FOV provide broad coverage, while the <0.1% distortion specification helps preserve the relative geometry of objects throughout the image.

The lens is particularly suitable for compact inspection modules and embedded industrial cameras where the camera must observe a relatively large working area from a controlled position. The 2.5mm focal length provides wide coverage, while the 0.2m minimum object distance allows the lens to be used for relatively close-range observation.

The M7 × 0.35 mount and 14.56mm T.T.L. make this lens suitable for equipment where the available optical space is limited. It can be integrated into compact camera housings, embedded inspection devices, robotic vision modules, and other small imaging assemblies.

For engineers selecting a lens according to sensor format, focal length, and image coverage, the Lens Selection Guide provides additional optical selection information.

Compatible Device List

• Compact 5MP Vision Cameras: Suitable for 1/4″ camera modules requiring a combination of high resolution and broad coverage.
• Embedded Machine Vision Modules: The M7 mounting format supports compact optical integration where installation space is limited.
• Precision Inspection Equipment: The <0.1% distortion specification is useful for applications where maintaining image geometry is important.
• Robotics Vision Modules: The wide FOV can help robotic systems observe a larger local working area without using a longer physical camera assembly.
• Compact Industrial Monitoring Cameras: Suitable for equipment observation and controlled-area monitoring where wide coverage is required.
• OEM Camera Assemblies: The fixed 2.5mm configuration can be integrated into dedicated camera designs with predetermined imaging geometry.

The required scene coverage can be estimated with the FOV Calculator by considering the camera sensor, working distance, and target dimensions.

Designed for compact precision inspection and wide-angle embedded machine vision applications.

Optical Performance & Design Considerations

The optical configuration combines a 2.5mm focal length with a 1/4″ image format, providing an 88° diagonal, 75° horizontal, and 60° vertical field of view. This configuration allows the camera to cover a relatively broad area while retaining a compact optical structure.

One of the key characteristics is the <0.1% distortion specification. This makes the lens particularly suitable for applications where image geometry needs to remain highly controlled. Compared with wide-angle lenses with substantially higher distortion, this configuration can be more appropriate for visual inspection, positioning, measurement-related imaging, and image-analysis tasks.

The 5MP resolution supports detailed image capture, while the F2.4 aperture provides a fixed optical configuration for dedicated camera modules. The lens has a 0.2m M.O.D., providing flexibility for close-range imaging.

The M7 × 0.35 mount and 14.56mm T.T.L. should be considered during mechanical camera integration. Engineers looking for additional miniature optical configurations can review the M8/M7/M6/M5/M3.5 Small Mount Lenses category.
