Computar VL1226U-MPZ 1”, 12mm, f2.6, 20MP, LensConnect, C-mount Lens
The Computar VL1226U-MPZ is a high-resolution 12mm fixed focal length LensConnect lens designed for precision machine vision and industrial imaging applications requiring remote control, repeatability, and ultra-high image clarity. Engineered to support up to 20 megapixels, this lens is optimized for 1” sensors, including high-performance sensors like the Sony IMX183, making it ideal for systems where detail accuracy and consistency are critical.
With its LensConnect technology, the VL1226U-MPZ enables full remote control of focus and iris via USB, eliminating manual adjustments and enabling seamless integration into automated inspection, robotics, and smart vision systems. The built-in P-Iris with remote adjustment ensures precise exposure control across varying lighting conditions, improving image consistency in dynamic environments.
A floating focus optical design maintains sharpness from close working distances to infinity, minimizing aberrations and ensuring consistent resolution across the entire field of view. Combined with precision stepper motors, the lens delivers highly repeatable positioning—critical for applications requiring exact calibration and repeatable imaging results.
Designed for ease of deployment, the VL1226UMPZ is powered and controlled through a single USB connection and includes intuitive control software for fast setup and operation.
