12.5mm SWIR Lens: Applications & OEM Support
12.5mm SWIR Lens: Coverage & Camera Fit
Position the SP-SWIR12514MC around your required inspection width and available working distance. With the same sensor and working distance, its 12.5mm focal length generally provides coverage between 8.5mm and 25mm options. Review sensor coverage and mechanical clearance together before selecting the camera-and-lens combination.
- Confirm sensor dimensions, pixel pitch and required target detail.
- Compare the required field of view with the available installation distance.
- Check the mount, filter stack and rear clearance.
SWIR Illumination & Image Quality
Match the camera response and illumination spectrum to the lens’s specified operating band. Evaluate the SP-SWIR12514MC under your intended lighting, aperture and exposure settings, including any filters or protective windows in the optical path. Compare useful image contrast and target visibility across the inspection area.
- Identify the illumination wavelength and required exposure time.
- Check center and edge detail at the intended working distance.
- Request relevant transmission or imaging data for your acceptance criteria.
Inspection Applications & Sample Testing
Consider this 12.5mm SWIR lens for food inspection, material sorting or selected process-imaging tasks where the camera position and inspection width are defined. Describe the material, smallest relevant feature and target speed so the optical configuration can be evaluated against a specific inspection objective.
- Share representative parts, material samples or existing camera images.
- Define the required coverage and acceptable inspection result.
- Compare sample images under representative lighting and operating conditions.
OEM Integration & Volume Supply
For OEM or distributor inquiries, identify SP-SWIR12514MC and provide your camera model, sensor specifications, sample quantity and estimated annual demand. SUPERIOR can review the proposed configuration and discuss modification feasibility where needed. Agree on sample acceptance criteria and the approved specification revision before planning volume supply.
- Review housing space, focus adjustment and mechanical interfaces.
- Evaluate samples against agreed imaging and installation requirements.
- Request a quotation covering quantity, packaging and delivery needs.
Technical Reference for Camera Comparison
EMVA 1288 provides a standardized framework for presenting machine-vision camera and sensor specifications. Use the camera manufacturer’s published results to support camera comparison, then evaluate the selected lens with your actual sensor, illumination and working distance.

Model: SP-SWIR12514MC
Send your camera or sensor model, illumination wavelength, working distance, required quantity and project schedule. Ask for compatibility review, sample availability and an OEM quotation.
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.
