4/3″ Format 12mm F/2.0 20 Megapixel C-Mount Fixed Focal Length Lens

C Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses are designed for use in machine vision applications with the working distance and resolution requirements of factory automation and inspection in mind. C Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses feature large maximum apertures, allowing these high performance lenses to be used in even the most restrictive lighting conditions. Each lens has a broadband anti-reflection coating, locking iris and focus adjustment with recessed set screws, and a ruggedized, robust housing for space-restrictive applications. C Series lenses are manufactured to high tolerances, which result in high levels of imaging performance with low lens-to-lens variation. Through combining optical performance, industrial features, and compact package sizes, our C Series Fixed Focal Length Lenses are ideal for use in factory automation and inspection.

The 1″ 10 megapixel C-mount B lens series provides 200lp/mm resolution and low distortion in order to maximize performance for high-end applications. Incorporating SUPERIOR’s broadband coating and floating mechanism design, it greatly reduces chromatic aberration at any distance and maintain a high transmission from visible to NIR.

Floating Mechanism Design
SUPERIOR’s floating mechanism design virtually eliminates optical abberations from close distance to infinity

Excellent Corner Brightness
No fading along edges of the image

Perfect for Large Format 1″ Megapixel Applications
Assists the megapixel camera in producing large, high resolution images

200lp/mm Resolution and Low Distortion
200lp/mm resolution and low distortion will maximize performance for high-end applications

Low Distortion
SUPERIOR’S design solves distortion issues to create an accurate reproduction of the environment

High Transmission from visible to NIR
The Series incorporates wide-band coating and a floating mechanism design to maintain a high transmission from visible to NIR

High Performance and Compact
This high performance lens is optimal for a wide range of applications

Easy Installation
Short minimum object distance and compact design using aspherical lenses (5 models/F-5 ~ 100mm) will allow for easy installation in compact machine vision systems
