Computar VL0826U-MPZ 1”, 8mm, f2.6, 20MP, LensConnect, C-mount Lens
The Computar VL0826U-MPZ is a high-resolution LensConnect motorized C-mount lens engineered for precision machine vision and industrial imaging applications requiring wide field-of-view coverage with remote configurability. Designed to support up to 20 megapixel sensors, including large-format sensors such as the Sony IMX183, this lens delivers exceptional optical performance across the entire image plane.
With its 8mm focal length, the VL0826U-MPZ provides a wide-angle perspective ideal for applications such as inspection, robotics guidance, logistics automation, and surveillance systems where broader scene coverage is required without sacrificing detail.
A key advantage of this lens is its LensConnect USB interface, enabling remote control of focus and P-Iris without manual adjustment. This allows for faster setup, repeatable calibration, and seamless integration into automated or hard-to-access systems. The floating focus optical design ensures consistent sharpness from close working distances to infinity, maintaining high contrast and resolution across varying depths.
Built with precision stepper motors, the VL0826UMPZ delivers highly accurate, repeatable adjustments—making it well-suited for systems requiring frequent reconfiguration or dynamic focus control. Combined with free control software, users can easily fine-tune lens parameters for optimal performance in real-world environments.
