CBC-Computar VL2Z2533UM6C-MPWIR 25-50mm LensConnect Motorized Varifocal Lens | 9MP, 1", P-Iris, Remote Zoom, C-Mount
The CBC-Computar VL2Z2533UM6C-MPWIR is a 9MP, 1", 25-50mm LensConnect motorized varifocal lens with C-mount design, USB remote zoom, focus, P-Iris, and ICR control for high-resolution machine vision, factory automation, robotics, industrial inspection, and visible/IR imaging applications.
VL2Z2533UM6C-MPWIR LensConnect Motorized Varifocal Lens Overview
The CBC-Computar VL2Z2533UM6C-MPWIR is a 9MP, 1" LensConnect motorized varifocal lens designed for high-resolution machine vision, factory automation, robotics, inspection, surveillance, and industrial imaging applications that require remote zoom, focus, iris, and ICR control.
With a 25-50mm focal length range, F3.3 aperture, C-mount design, and support for large-format 1" sensors, the VL2Z2533UM6CMPWIR is built for applications that need tighter fields of view, longer working distances, and precise optical adjustment. Its remote zoom capability allows integrators to adjust framing and field of view without physically accessing the lens, making it a strong fit for enclosed systems, multi-camera inspection stations, robotics platforms, and production environments where repeatability matters.
As part of Computar’s LensConnect Series, this lens enables power supply and control through USB, with easy-to-use setup software compatible with Windows and Linux. Remote control of zoom, focus, P-Iris, and ICR switching helps reduce manual setup time, improve consistency between inspections, and simplify camera integration in automated systems.
The floating focus design delivers ultra-high resolution from near to far, while stepper motors provide precise control and high repeatability. The built-in ICR switching mechanism expands application flexibility for imaging systems that may need visible and IR-capable operation depending on lighting conditions, inspection environment, or system requirements.
