Kowa LM28LF-48 | 46mm Ø 28mm Fixed Lens, 4K, TFL-II Mount, 3.1µm Pixel, f/2.8–22, 160 lp/mm Center Resolution, Visible Spectrum (400–800nm)

Quick Overview
28mm TFL-II mount fixed lens with 46mm image circle, 4K resolution, 3.1µm pixel support, f/2.8–22 aperture, 160 lp/mm center resolution, -0.17% distortion, visible spectrum (400–800nm), manual iris/focus.

The Kowa LM28LF-48 is a high-precision fixed focal length lens engineered for large-format industrial and machine vision applications. Featuring a 28mm focal length and designed for 46mm image circle sensors, this lens supports up to 4K resolution with pixel sizes as small as 3.1µm. The LM28LF-48 delivers outstanding clarity with a center resolution of 160 lp/mm and edge resolution of 63 lp/mm, maintaining sharp image quality across the entire frame. With minimal distortion of just -0.17%, it is ideal for inspection systems, robotics, and image processing platforms demanding accurate imaging and calibration integrity.

Built for flexibility, this lens includes a manual iris (f/2.8–22) and manual focus, offering full optical control for dynamic environments. It utilizes a TFL-II mount for secure, stable attachment and offers a wide field of view (424.3mm horizontal and 281.1mm vertical) at close range. Compatible with sensors operating in the visible spectrum (400–800nm), the LM28LF-48 supports demanding industrial applications within a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C. With a compact size (Ø75 x 127mm) and weight of 500g, it integrates well into space-constrained vision systems without compromising performance.
