MC4K series
Macro lenses for 4k line scan cameras and APS-C sensors
Product range extension: new M42x1 FD12 mount now available (-J).
Key advantages
- Macro design
Achieve unmatched resolution in critical applications: these objectives consistently deliver superior image quality than standard fixed focal length lenses used with extension tubes. - Exceptional low distortion
Perform measurement tasks with a high degree of accuracy and reliability. - Optimized aperture
For each magnification, the F/# is optimized to ensure the best depth of field and image resolution. - Easy front filter insertion
Thanks to the front M30.5x0.5 thread
MC4K series is a collection of macro lenses fitting both 4 K line scan cameras and matrix detector cameras over 4/3″. These lenses are specifically designed for macro imaging, as opposed to infinite conjugate lenses with added spacers, a common alternative unable to deliver the same optical performance.
MC4K lenses feature fixed aperture to ensure optimal depth of field, image resolution and brightness for each magnification range, while meeting the typical needs of machine vision applications. The absence of an iris adjustment mechanism leads to more robust build quality, granting extra durability and precision.
Machine integration is made easy thanks to the precise focusing mechanism and the possibility to choose from an F or M42x1 mount (-N). MC4K series additionally features a front M30.5x0.5 thread for the insertion of an optional filter as well as easy phase adjustment.
Notes
- Working distance: distance between the front end of the mechanics and the object. Set this distance within ±3% of the nominal value for maximum resolution and minimum distortion.
- Working f-number (wf/N): the real f-number of a lens in operating conditions.
- Percent deviation of the real image compared to an ideal, undistorted image. Typical (average production) values and maximum (guaranteed) values are listed.
- At the borders of the field depth the image can be still used for measurement but, to get a very sharp image, only half of the nominal field depth should be considered. Pixel size used for calculation is 7 μm.
- Object side, calculated with the Rayleigh criterion with λ= 520 nm
- FD stands for Flange Distance (in mm), defined as the distance from the mounting flange to the camera detector plane.
- Indicates the availability of an integrated camera phase adjustment feature.
- Measured from the front end of the mechanics to the camera flange.
Ordering information
-F for F-mount
-N for M42x1 mount (flange distance FD 10.56 mm).
For example, MC4K100X-N defines a MC4K100X with M42x1 mount.
