Low Distortion Lens – CCL13060MPR

CCL13060MPR Low distortion wide angle 6mm 44° M12 mount lens HD 3MP F3.5 rectilinear scanning

6mm 3MP M12 Ultra-Low Distortion Lens

The 6mm 3MP M12 Ultra Low Distortion Lens is a compact fixed focal lens designed for machine vision, industrial inspection, embedded imaging, and precision object detection applications where accurate image geometry is important. Supporting a 1/3″ image format and 3MP resolution, this lens provides a 54° diagonal, 44° horizontal, and 34° vertical FOV, making it suitable for focused imaging rather than wide-area scene coverage. Its optical distortion below 0.1% significantly limits geometric deformation and helps preserve the shape, position, and proportions of objects in the captured image. The F3.5 fixed aperture, 0.1m minimum object distance, and M12x0.5 mount provide a practical configuration for compact vision equipment. With a Φ14 × 8mm dimension and only 9.83mm TTL, the lens offers an extremely compact optical package for applications with strict space constraints.

Ultra Low Distortion Lens Application

Precision Machine Vision Inspection

The defining advantage of this lens is its <0.1% optical distortion. This makes it suitable for machine vision systems where maintaining consistent object geometry is important for inspection, positioning, alignment, or image-based analysis.

The 6mm focal length provides a more focused viewing range than short focal length wide-angle lenses, while the 44° horizontal FOV offers practical coverage for controlled inspection scenes.

Industrial Object Inspection

For fixed-position industrial cameras, low distortion can help reduce the geometric deformation of components and objects near the image edges. This lens can therefore be considered for compact inspection equipment, object positioning systems, and automated visual detection.

For more information about optical distortion and its effect on imaging performance, see TOWIN’s Distortion Guide.

Compact Embedded Vision

The Φ14 × 8mm lens dimension is a major advantage for embedded applications where conventional industrial lenses are too large. The M12x0.5 mounting interface allows the lens to be integrated into compact camera modules, smart sensors, embedded vision systems, and miniature inspection devices.

TOWIN’s M12 Lenses provide additional compact optical options for different imaging requirements.

Close-Range Object Detection

With a specified 0.1m minimum object distance, the lens can be used for relatively close-range fixed-position imaging. Potential applications include component detection, presence checking, object positioning, and compact automated inspection systems.

Why Choose This 6mm M12 Low Distortion Lens?

This lens is particularly suited to applications where geometric accuracy and compactness are more important than extreme field of view. Its combination of <0.1% optical distortion, 6mm focal length, 3MP resolution, and Φ14 × 8mm dimensions gives designers a compact optical solution for controlled machine vision scenes.

The extremely low distortion also differentiates this product from standard M12 lenses intended primarily for general-purpose imaging. When selecting a low-distortion lens, the sensor format, focal length, working distance, and required field of view should be considered together.
