Description
Unlock precise, high-definition industrial imaging with our premium 12mm 5MP M12 Low Distortion Lens. Engineered specifically for demanding factory automation (FA) and machine vision environments, this compact lens supports large image formats up to 1/1.8″. It delivers an ultra-sharp 5-megapixel resolution with a fixed F5.6 aperture, ensuring optimal depth of field and consistent exposure. Featuring an advanced 6G+IRF optical construction, it eliminates geometric warping with an impressive distortion rate of less than -1.5%. This makes it the perfect choice for high-accuracy inspection, automated sorting, and space-constrained industrial camera systems.

The lens is fully compatible with premium 1/1.8-inch, 1/2-inch, and 2/3-inch image sensors, maximizing the capabilities of mainstream CMOS sensors from Sony, Onsemi, and OmniVision. It acts as a seamless upgrade or replacement lens for industrial smart cameras, FA board cameras, and embedded vision modules from brands like Hikrobot, Basler, FLIR, and Daheng Imaging. Additionally, we support customized focal lengths and custom F.O.V. modifications to align perfectly with your specialized hardware layout and sensor configurations.
Designed for machine vision and factory automation applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this lens suffer from image warping or fish-eye effects?
A: No, this lens features an advanced low-distortion optical design (< -1.5%) that keeps lines completely straight, making it perfect for measurement and inspection.
Q: Can this lens be used with standard C-mount or CS-mount cameras?
A: This is a native M12x0.5 threaded S-mount lens. To use it with a C or CS-mount camera, you will need a standard M12-to-C/CS mount adapter ring.
Q: Is the iris adjustable for changing light conditions?
A: This lens features a fixed F5.6 iris to ensure maximum depth of field and stability against industrial vibrations. Light adjustments should be managed via sensor shutter speed or external LED illumination.
