Product Description

Selecting the right lens is pivotal for any machine vision deployment, especially in industrial environments where precision, durability, and compatibility with sensors matter deeply.

Below is an overview:

Lens Type	Description	Typical Use Cases
Fixed Focal Length	Single focal length; optimized for specific working distance and FOV	High-speed inspection, barcode reading, OCR
Zoom Lenses	Variable focal length; manual or motorized zoom	Flexible setups, prototyping, multi-size object capture
Telecentric Lenses	Parallel light rays; eliminate perspective distortion	Precision metrology, dimensional inspection
Macro Lenses	Designed for close-up imaging with high detail	PCB inspection, micro-component analysis
Fisheye/Wide-Angle	Extremely wide field of view with distortion	Area monitoring, robotics navigation
Board Lenses (M12)	Compact, low-cost lenses for embedded systems	Space-constrained environments, IoT devices

KEY FEATURES TO EVALUATE

Feature	Why It Matters
Focal Length	Determines field of view (FOV) and working distance
Aperture (f/#)	Controls light intake and depth of field
Sensor Compatibility	Must match sensor size to avoid vignetting or resolution loss
Mount Type	C-mount, CS-mount, F-mount, M12--affects physical fit and flange focal distance
Resolution Support	Must match or exceed camera resolution to avoid image degradation
Distortion & Aberration	Low distortion critical for measurement accuracy
Environmental Robustness	Shock, vibration, temperature, and IP-rated sealing for industrial deployments
Telecentricity	Ensures consistent magnification across depth--ideal for dimensional accuracy

SELECTION TIPS FOR INDUSTRIAL USE

Match lens to sensor: A mismatch can cause cropping or poor edge clarity.
Telecentric for metrology: Especially in harsh environments like kilns or sanitaryware inspection.
Fixed focal for speed: Fewer moving parts, better stability in high-speed scanning.
Zoom for flexibility: Useful during prototyping or multi-product lines.
Check datasheets: Compare Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), distortion charts, and working distance curves.
