ExploreOptical Lens Selection Checklist
Share your application, sensor, field of view, working distance, wavelength and quantity requirements so our team can recommend suitable lens options. The values below are illustrative inputs, not specifications for a particular model.
| Parameter | Selection example / input | Verification required |
|---|---|---|
| Lens family | CCTV, M12, machine vision, line scan, telecentric, SWIR, pinhole, fisheye | Choose by imaging task; families can overlap. |
| Sensor and image circle | Example: 11 mm sensor diagonal; lens image circle at least 11 mm | Verify coverage, corners and pixel-level contrast. |
| Field of view and distance | Example: 100 mm horizontal field at 250 mm working distance | Calculate with actual sensor dimensions and lens model. |
| Wavelength | Visible, near infrared, or a specified SWIR band | Match transmission and focus to the illumination. |
| Procurement inputs | Sample quantity, annual volume, destination and schedule | Confirm model availability, MOQ and lead time by quotation. |
How to Choose an Optical Lens Supplier
Compare lens specifications under the same sensor, working distance, aperture and wavelength conditions.
Check mechanical drawings, sensor coverage and installation clearance before approving a model.
Evaluate representative samples against documented imaging and inspection criteria.
Review quotation scope, purchasing terms, revision control and expected production demand.
Optical Lens Supplier Quality Checks
Assess an optical lens supplier using model drawings, defined test conditions and representative sample results. Ask SUPERIOR to identify the manufacturing and inspection steps responsible for your assembly. Agree on an inspection plan and request applicable certificate copies with issuer, scope and validity dates before approval.
Request relevant drawings, test conditions and project-specific inspection evidence.

Lens Purchasing FAQ
Answers to common selection and project questions.
How do I choose an optical lens supplier?
Send each supplier the same sensor drawing, field of view, working distance, wavelength, and acceptance criteria. Compare documented performance under those conditions, then assess samples, commercial terms, and change control.
Can one lens belong to several categories?
Yes. M12 describes a mechanical interface, while fisheye describes imaging geometry. A lens can be both. Review its actual specification and avoid assuming that a category label guarantees application compatibility.
What should I send an optical lens supplier for a quote?
Include the model or imaging requirements, sample quantity, expected annual volume, target schedule, and delivery destination. Flag special labeling, packaging, inspection documentation, or distributor requirements before requesting a quotation.
Should I choose a catalog or custom lens?
Start with catalog models when their verified optical and mechanical properties meet the requirement. Consider customization when sensor coverage, packaging, wavelength, focus stability, or imaging performance cannot be met through a suitable existing assembly.
