Low Distortion Lens – CCL13041MP

4.1mm 5MP M12 Low Distortion Lens

The 4.1mm 5MP M12 Low Distortion Lens is a compact fixed focal lens designed for embedded vision, machine vision, and industrial imaging systems that require accurate image geometry in a small optical package. Supporting a 1/3″ image format and 5MP resolution, this M12 lens delivers a 74° diagonal, 63° horizontal, and 49° vertical FOV, providing a balanced viewing range for close-range imaging. With distortion below 0.4%, the lens minimizes geometric deformation and helps maintain accurate object shapes and positions across the image. Its F4.0 fixed aperture, 0.1m minimum object distance, and compact Φ14 × 17.8mm design make it suitable for space-constrained vision devices. The M12x0.5 mount also supports integration into a wide range of compact industrial and embedded camera platforms.

Product Core Highlights

• 5MP Imaging: Supports 5MP imaging for detailed inspection and embedded vision applications.
• Ultra-Low Distortion: Less than 0.4% distortion helps preserve accurate object geometry and image proportions.
• 4.1mm Fixed Focal Length: Provides a balanced 63° horizontal FOV for compact close-range imaging systems.
• Compact M12 Design: M12x0.5 mounting and Φ14 × 17.8mm dimensions simplify integration into space-constrained camera equipment.
• 0.1m MOD: Supports close-range imaging where objects need to be captured from a relatively short working distance.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Application

Machine Vision Inspection

The combination of 5MP resolution and <0.4% distortion makes this lens suitable for machine vision systems where image geometry needs to remain consistent for object inspection, positioning, and measurement. It can be integrated into compact industrial cameras and embedded inspection modules.

Industrial Object Detection

The 4.1mm focal length and 63° horizontal FOV provide a practical viewing range for detecting and locating objects within compact industrial equipment. The low-distortion optical design can help reduce positional and shape errors caused by lens deformation.

Embedded Vision Systems

With an M12x0.5 mount and Φ14mm lens diameter, this product is well suited to compact embedded cameras, smart vision modules, robotic vision devices, and other systems where optical space is limited. Its 0.1m minimum object distance also supports relatively close-range imaging.

Smart Camera and Inspection Devices

The fixed aperture, compact mechanical dimensions, and 5MP imaging capability make the lens suitable for integration into smart cameras, automated inspection equipment, object detection modules, and other fixed-position imaging devices.

Why Choose This M12 Low Distortion Lens?

For applications where image geometry matters more than extreme wide-angle coverage, this 4.1mm lens offers a strong balance between field of view, resolution, distortion control, and mechanical size. Its <0.4% distortion specification is particularly valuable for vision systems that need to maintain recognizable object shapes and consistent image positioning.
