This 6mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact machine vision and embedded imaging systems that require accurate image geometry with a moderate-wide field of view. Featuring 3MP resolution, distortion below -2.5%, a fixed F3.0 aperture, and M12 × 0.5 mounting, it provides a compact optical solution for industrial inspection and embedded vision applications.
The controlled distortion performance makes this lens particularly suitable for imaging systems where maintaining relatively accurate object geometry is important. Engineers can also use the Distortion Guide to understand how lens distortion affects machine vision image measurements and optical selection.
This 6mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for vision systems where both scene coverage and image geometry are important. Its 65° diagonal field of view provides broader coverage than longer focal length miniature lenses, while the distortion specification of less than -2.5% helps reduce geometric deformation across the image.
The lens is particularly suitable for compact dimensional inspection and object recognition systems where excessive distortion can affect the apparent position, shape, or proportions of the target. This makes it useful for embedded inspection cameras, automated equipment monitoring, component recognition, and compact industrial vision modules.
The 0.3m minimum object distance allows the camera to be positioned relatively close to the inspection target. This is practical for machinery where the available installation distance is limited but the camera still needs to capture a sufficiently broad inspection region.
Its M12 × 0.5 mount and 25.5mm T.T.L. also make it suitable for custom embedded camera assemblies. The 6.9mm B.F.L. provides useful mechanical information when positioning the image sensor during camera module development.
For engineers comparing different distortion levels and their influence on image accuracy, the Lens Selection Guide provides additional optical selection guidance.
For broader industrial automation applications, TOWIN’s Machine Vision solutions provide additional information on integrating industrial optics into vision systems.
Designed for low distortion machine vision, dimensional inspection, embedded industrial cameras, and compact robotic vision applications.
Q: What is the focal length of this M12 low distortion lens?
A: This lens uses a fixed 6mm focal length and provides a 65° diagonal, 56° horizontal, and 32° vertical field of view on a 1/2.7″ image format.
Q: What sensor size is this 6mm M12 lens designed for?
A: The lens is designed for a 1/2.7″ image format and supports 3MP resolution.
Q: Is this lens a low distortion lens?
A: Yes. The specified distortion is below -2.5%, making it suitable for applications where controlled image geometry is important.
Q: Is the 6mm M12 lens a wide angle lens?
A: It provides a relatively broad 65° diagonal field of view, but within TOWIN’s current product classification it is positioned primarily as a low distortion M12 lens rather than a dedicated wide angle lens.
Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.3m, allowing the lens to support relatively close-range industrial and embedded imaging applications.
Q: What are the B.F.L. and T.T.L. specifications?
A: The B.F.L. is 6.9mm and the T.T.L. is 25.5mm. These optical dimensions are useful when designing a compatible camera housing and sensor position.
Q: Can this M12 lens be used for machine vision?
A: Yes. Its 3MP resolution, controlled distortion, fixed 6mm focal length, and compact M12 × 0.5 mount make it suitable for machine vision and embedded industrial imaging.
Q: Why is low distortion important in machine vision?
A: Lower distortion helps preserve the geometric relationship between objects and their captured image positions, which is particularly useful for measurement, inspection, positioning, and recognition tasks.
