Low Distortion Lens – CCL123041MPF

CCL123041MPF Low distortion wide angle 4.1mm 1/2.3″ M12 mount lens F4.0 HD 5MP rectilinear scanning

4.1mm 8MP M12 Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens

The 4.1mm 8MP M12 Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require broad scene coverage with highly controlled image distortion. Supporting a 1/2.3″ image format and 8MP resolution, this fixed focal lens delivers an 88° diagonal, 75° horizontal, and 60° vertical field of view. With TV distortion below 0.4%, it provides excellent geometric accuracy for applications where the shape and position of objects need to be captured with minimal optical deformation.

The lens features an F4.0 fixed aperture, M12x0.5 mount, 0.1m minimum object distance, and 21.9mm TTL, making it suitable for compact machine vision cameras and embedded imaging modules. Its Φ14 × 17.8mm dimensions support integration into space-constrained devices. The 3G2P+IRF optical construction provides a compact lens configuration for high-resolution imaging. Designed for machine vision and industrial imaging applications, this lens combines wide-angle coverage and ultra-low distortion in a compact M12 format.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Application

Precision Machine Vision Inspection

The <0.4% distortion specification is the key advantage of this lens for machine vision. Low geometric distortion helps maintain the relative shape and position of objects across the image, making the lens suitable for inspection systems involving object detection, positioning, alignment, dimensional analysis, and visual quality checking.

Industrial Object Detection

With a 75° horizontal FOV, the 4.1mm focal length provides a useful balance between broad scene coverage and controlled distortion. This makes it suitable for industrial cameras that need to monitor work areas, detect objects, or inspect components without the stronger geometric deformation often associated with wider-angle optics.

Embedded Vision Systems

The compact M12x0.5 mount, Φ14 × 17.8mm dimensions, and 21.9mm TTL make this lens appropriate for small-form-factor imaging equipment. Compatible devices may include embedded vision cameras, compact smart cameras, industrial inspection modules, and robotic vision cameras.

Close-Range Wide-Area Imaging

The 0.1m MOD allows the lens to image targets at relatively short distances. Combined with its 75° horizontal FOV, this configuration is useful where the camera has limited installation space but still needs to capture a relatively broad nearby scene.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the focal length of this M12 lens?
A: This lens uses a fixed 4.1mm focal length, providing a wide field of view for compact imaging systems.

Q: What is the field of view of the 4.1mm lens?
A: On the specified 1/2.3″ image format, it provides an 88° diagonal, 75° horizontal, and 60° vertical FOV.

Q: How much distortion does this lens have?
A: The specified distortion is less than 0.4%, providing highly controlled image geometry for precision-oriented imaging applications.

Q: Is this an 8MP lens?
A: Yes. The lens is specified with 8MP resolution and a 1/2.3″ image format.

Q: Is the 4.1mm lens suitable for close-range imaging?
A: Yes. With a 0.1m minimum object distance, it can be used for relatively close-range imaging applications where broad scene coverage is required.

Q: What cameras can use this lens?
A: The M12x0.5 mount makes it suitable for compact machine vision cameras, embedded vision modules, smart cameras, and industrial imaging equipment.

Q: Why is low distortion important for machine vision?
A: Low distortion helps preserve the geometric relationship between objects and their positions in the image, which can improve the reliability of inspection, measurement, positioning, and object-recognition tasks.

Q: Is this lens IR corrected?
A: The supplied specification includes 3G2P+IRF construction, but does not state that the lens has optical IR correction. Therefore, it should not be marketed as an IR Corrected Lens without additional optical data.
