Kowa LM6NC3 | 1/2" 6mm 3CCD Megapixel Lens
Kowa LM6NC3 6mm 3CCD Megapixel Lens: Precision and Durability for Machine Vision and Industrial Applications
The Kowa LM6NC3 6mm 3CCD Megapixel Lens is a high-precision optical solution designed to meet the demands of both industrial and commercial machine vision applications. Known for its robust metal housing and reliable performance, this lens is ideal for environments requiring durability and accuracy. With a focal length of 6mm, a wide field of view (117mm horizontally, 95mm vertically), and a manual iris control (aperture range from F1.8 to F16), it offers exceptional flexibility in various lighting conditions. The C-mount configuration ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial cameras, while the locking screws on the iris and focus ensure stable operation in high-vibration settings.
Kowa lenses are renowned for their sharp image resolution, featuring 120 lp/mm at the center and 100 lp/mm at the edges, perfect for high-resolution imaging requirements. Additionally, the lens’s broad wavelength range (400nm – 1000nm) allows it to be used in both visible and near-infrared applications.
This lens is especially well-suited for applications in machine vision, broadcasting, and surveillance, where precision and consistency are critical. Its peak coating ensures minimal distortion (-2.1% TV distortion) and high image quality even under challenging conditions. The Kowa LM6NC3 offers superior optical performance, enhancing productivity and accuracy in demanding industrial environments.
