Low Distortion Lens – CCL125035MPR

CCL125035MPR Low distortion wide angle 1/2.5″ 3.5mm F5.6 M12 mount lens with HD 5MP rectilinear scanning

3.5mm 5MP M12 Low Distortion Lens

This 3.5mm 5MP M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a wide viewing range while maintaining highly accurate image geometry. With a 90° diagonal FOV, 80° horizontal FOV, and 65° vertical FOV, the lens provides broad scene coverage while keeping optical distortion below 0.4%. Its F5.6 fixed aperture delivers consistent optical characteristics, while the M12 × 0.5 mount supports straightforward integration into compact camera modules and embedded vision equipment. The 1/2.5″ image format and 5MP resolution make it suitable for high-detail imaging applications where distortion control is important. With a 0.1m M.O.D., 19mm T.T.L., and Φ14 × 15.79mm compact dimensions, this lens is particularly suitable for space-constrained systems requiring short-distance imaging. Designed for low-distortion embedded vision applications, this fixed focal M12 lens provides a practical combination of wide coverage, geometric accuracy, and compact mechanical integration.

Embedded Inspection Cameras

The combination of 5MP resolution, 80° horizontal FOV, and a compact Φ14mm diameter makes this lens suitable for embedded inspection equipment. The 0.1m M.O.D. also allows the camera to be positioned relatively close to the inspection target.

For systems where field coverage and lens selection need to be calculated together, the FOV Calculator can help determine the appropriate lens configuration.

Robotics Vision

Robotic systems often require sufficient scene coverage while maintaining accurate object geometry for recognition, positioning, and inspection. This 3.5mm M12 lens provides an 80° horizontal FOV combined with <0.4% distortion, making it a suitable option for compact robotic vision modules.

See TOWIN’s Robotics Vision Solutions for application-specific optical options.

Compact Smart Cameras

The M12 × 0.5 interface and Φ14 × 15.79mm mechanical size make the lens suitable for compact camera architectures. It can be integrated into smart cameras, embedded vision devices, monitoring modules, and other small-form-factor imaging equipment requiring controlled distortion.
