Kowa LM18VM35 | 2" Format 50 Megapixel 3.1μm Lens
Kowa LM18VM35: Precision and Clarity for Advanced Machine Vision
Kowa’s LM18VM35 lens stands out as a premier choice for industrial and machine vision applications, offering unmatched precision and clarity. With a focal length of 18mm and a 2" image circle, this lens is engineered to meet the high demands of modern imaging systems. Designed for sensors with a pixel size of 3.1μm or more, it perfectly complements high-resolution sensors such as the Sony IMX342, CMOSIS CMV12000, CMV20000, and CMV50000, making it ideal for APS-C format cameras.
The LM18VM35 features a manual iris control with a range from F2.8 to F16, allowing for fine-tuned exposure adjustments in varied lighting conditions. The lens excels in delivering high resolution, with a center resolution of 160 lp/mm and a corner resolution of 100 lp/mm, while maintaining minimal distortion at just 1.25%. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance across a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C, and its precise focusing range from 0.1m to infinity makes it versatile for numerous applications.
