C-mount lenses have a 17.526mm flange focal distance, while CS-mount lenses have a 12.5mm distance. You can use a C-mount lens on a CS-mount camera with a 5mm spacer, but not vice versa.
Machine Vision Lenses Component Intelligence
Precision optics for automated imaging and industrial inspection.
What are Machine Vision Lenses components?
Machine vision lenses are engineered for high-contrast, low-distortion imaging in industrial environments. Selection hinges on sensor format, working distance, field of view, and mount type (typically C or CS). Ensure the lens resolution matches your camera's pixel pitch.
How to Choose Machine Vision Lenses Components
Selecting the right lens is critical to image quality; a high-end camera cannot compensate for poor optics.
Sensor Format
Ensure the lens image circle covers the sensor size (e.g., 1/2", 2/3", 1") to avoid vignetting.
Working Distance
Calculate the distance from the front element to the object to determine required focal length.
Mount Type
Verify compatibility between C-mount, CS-mount, or F-mount interfaces to ensure proper back-focal distance.
Resolution & MTF
Match the lens's Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) to the camera's pixel size for maximum sharpness.
Aperture Control
Choose fixed, manual, or motorized iris depending on lighting stability and depth-of-field requirements.
