Low Distortion Lens – CCL118095MPFR

CCL118095MPFR Low distortion 9.5mm 40° M12 mount lens 1/1.8″ with HD 3MP rectilinear scanning

9.5mm 3MP M12 Low Distortion Lens

This 9.5mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require controlled geometric distortion, reliable 3MP image quality, and stable optical performance in a space-efficient configuration. Featuring a 1/1.8″ image format, 52° diagonal FOV, 40° horizontal FOV, and distortion below -2%, it helps reduce image deformation and maintain consistent object geometry across the captured scene. The F2.8 fixed aperture provides stable imaging performance, while the integrated IR cut configuration helps manage unwanted infrared wavelengths in visible-light imaging systems. With an M12 × 0.5 mount, 0.2m minimum object distance, 12.87mm TTL, and compact plastic barrel, this lens is suitable for embedded cameras, machine vision modules, smart cameras, and compact industrial imaging equipment. Designed for low-distortion machine vision applications, it provides a practical balance of image coverage, optical control, and compact integration.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

The combination of low distortion, a 9.5mm focal length, 3MP resolution, and IR cut configuration makes this lens suitable for imaging systems where controlled image geometry and compact mechanical integration are more important than ultra-wide coverage.

Machine Vision Inspection

With distortion below -2%, this M12 lens can help maintain more consistent object geometry within the captured image. This is useful for machine vision applications involving object detection, positioning, alignment, visual inspection, and basic measurement tasks.

The 9.5mm focal length provides a 52° diagonal FOV, allowing the camera to focus on a defined inspection area without the exaggerated perspective commonly associated with very wide-angle optics.

Compatible devices: M12 machine vision cameras, embedded inspection cameras, smart cameras, and compact vision modules.

Industrial Object Detection

Industrial imaging systems often require predictable image geometry so that objects can be detected and analyzed consistently. The low distortion performance of this lens helps reduce optical deformation, while the 0.2m M.O.D. supports relatively close-range imaging configurations.

Compatible devices: Industrial cameras, automated inspection modules, compact vision sensors, and robotic vision cameras.

For help evaluating focal length, sensor format, and field of view, see the Lens Selection Guide.

Visible-Light Smart Cameras

The integrated IR cut configuration makes this lens suitable for visible-light camera systems where unwanted infrared wavelengths need to be filtered. This can help maintain more appropriate color reproduction in imaging systems designed primarily for visible-light operation.

Compatible devices: Smart cameras, embedded monitoring cameras, IoT vision devices, and compact industrial cameras.

For additional information about sensor and optical matching, refer to the Sensor Guide.

Embedded Vision Systems

The M12 × 0.5 mount, 12.87mm TTL, and compact optical configuration make this lens suitable for embedded camera designs where installation space is limited. Its moderate field of view also provides a practical option for systems that need controlled scene coverage rather than an ultra-wide perspective.

Compatible devices: Embedded camera modules, smart vision devices, robotic vision modules, and compact imaging equipment.
