Kowa LM100JC1MS | 2/3" 100mm 2MP C-Mount Lens
Kowa LM100JC1MS: Precision Lens for Machine Vision and Industrial Applications
The Kowa LM100JC1MS is a 100mm focal length C-mount lens designed to meet the demanding requirements of machine vision and industrial imaging applications. Engineered for high-resolution sensors, such as OnSemi Python500, e2v EV76C570, and Aptina MT9M131, this lens delivers sharp, detailed images with pixel sizes of 4.5μm or larger. With its 2/3" sensor size compatibility and 2-megapixel resolution, it ensures exceptional clarity for precise image analysis, making it an ideal choice for systems that require high-accuracy inspections and monitoring.
This lens offers very low distortion (TV distortion of -0.05%), ensuring that image integrity is preserved even in wide-field views. The manual aperture control (ranging from F2.8 to F32) allows for precise adjustments in varying light conditions, while the lens’s peak coating enhances performance across a wide wavelength range (400nm – 1000nm). Its compact yet powerful design provides excellent brightness even at the corners of the image, making it suitable for high-contrast environments.
The Kowa LM100JC1MS excels in applications such as automated inspection systems, quality control, robotics, and surveillance, offering reliable performance in temperatures from -10°C to +50°C.
