2.95mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact vision systems that require a wide field of view without the strong geometric deformation commonly associated with ultra-wide optical designs. Its 2.95mm focal length provides 100° diagonal coverage on the MI5100 sensor, making it suitable for capturing a relatively large inspection area from a compact camera position.

The less-than-1% TV distortion specification is particularly valuable when image geometry matters. It can help maintain more accurate object contours and spatial relationships for machine vision inspection, positioning, recognition, and measurement tasks.

The lens supports a 1/2.5″ image format and 5MP resolution, providing a practical combination for industrial camera modules that need both image detail and broad coverage. The fixed F2.6 aperture provides a consistent optical configuration, while the 0.1m minimum object distance allows the camera to operate at relatively short working distances.

The 3G2P + IRCF optical construction is optimized for compact M12 camera assemblies where installation space, optical performance, and mechanical compatibility must be considered together.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor is this 2.95mm M12 lens designed for?
A: The lens is designed for a 1/2.5″ image format and has specified FOV performance for the MI5100 sensor.

Q: What is the field of view of this lens?
A: When used with the MI5100, the lens provides a 100° diagonal, 86° horizontal, and 70° vertical field of view.

Q: How much distortion does this M12 lens have?
A: The specified TV distortion is less than 1%, providing strong geometric control for a wide-angle lens.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: No. Despite its 100° diagonal field of view, it is designed as a conventional wide-angle low distortion lens rather than a fisheye lens. The <1% TV distortion specification reflects its controlled projection.

Q: What resolution does the lens support?
A: The lens is specified for 5MP imaging and is designed around a 1/2.5″ sensor format.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The M.O.D. is 0.1m, or approximately 100mm, allowing the lens to be used for relatively close-range imaging.

Q: What cameras can use this lens?
A: The M12x0.5 mount makes it suitable for compact industrial cameras, embedded vision modules, smart cameras, robotic vision systems, and other M12 camera assemblies.

Q: Why is less than 1% distortion useful in machine vision?
A: Low distortion helps reduce geometric deformation in captured images. This can improve the consistency of object contours and spatial relationships for inspection, positioning, recognition, and measurement tasks.
