8.5mm SWIR lens: Applications & OEM Support
Field of View and Installation Planning
Consider the SP-SWIR08514MC when your inspection layout calls for broader scene coverage. Define the target width, sensor dimensions and available working distance together. Check that the required field fits within the image while preserving enough pixels across the smallest feature you need to inspect.
- Specify the inspection width and available camera-to-target distance.
- Confirm sensor coverage and the required detail across the image.
Edge Detail, Distortion and Illumination
For an 8.5mm SWIR lens, evaluate the full inspection area rather than the image center alone. Check corner detail, geometric distortion and brightness uniformity using your intended sensor and illumination. Use the model-specific field-of-view and performance data when planning calibration or defining inspection limits.
- Compare center and corner detail at the intended aperture.
- Check illumination coverage across the complete target area.
Inspection Tasks to Evaluate
Review this model for sorting, surface inspection or process observation where scene coverage is a priority. Suitability depends on the target’s SWIR contrast, illumination and required defect size. Provide representative parts or sample images so lens selection can be assessed against a defined inspection task.
- Describe the material, target size and smallest relevant feature.
- Include target speed and exposure requirements for moving objects.
Samples and OEM Integration
Request SP-SWIR08514MC samples with your camera model, required quantity and project schedule. Confirm the applicable datasheet, mechanical drawing and acceptance criteria before volume procurement. If your project requires a different interface or optical configuration, submit the requirements for a feasibility review.
- Request sample availability and quantity pricing.
- Confirm the approved configuration and delivery requirements.
Technical reference for camera comparison
Camera and sensor specifications are part of lens selection. EMVA 1288 provides a framework for characterizing machine-vision sensors and cameras. Use the camera manufacturer’s published results to compare sensor response and noise under stated conditions, then evaluate lens performance with your actual optical setup.

Product & OEM Questions
Will this lens fit my camera?
Confirm the camera mount, sensor diagonal, pixel pitch and available mounting space. Send the camera model for an application review; nominal sensor format alone is not a fit guarantee.
Can I request a sample before a volume order?
Ask for current sample availability and quantity pricing. Include the lens model, required quantity and project schedule. Availability and lead time are confirmed with the quotation.
Does a nominal resolution rating guarantee my inspection result?
No. Validate the combination of lens, sensor, illumination, aperture and working distance against the required image contrast and target detail.
Can the lens or documentation be adapted for an OEM project?
Share optical targets, mechanical constraints, qualification needs and expected annual volume. Feasibility and any customization scope must be confirmed for your project.
