Ultra-compact Lenses for Precision Automation and Quality Control
Tamron expands its portfolio with the M112FM series, seven ultra-compact high-performance lenses especially for big 1/1.2-inch sensors, such as the Sony Pregius IMX174 and IMX249 and simultaneously for high-resolution sensors like the 5MP IMX250 and IMX 264 with 3.45µ pixel pitch.
On the Vision 2016 Tamron presented the first three models with the focal lengths 12mm, 16mm and 25mm, which are now available. By the middle of 2017 four further models will complete the series. The three new models are characterized by their high imaging performance even in low-light environments as well as their ultra-compact design.
The M112FM lenses are compatible with C-mount cameras and can be ideally combined with the latest ultra-compact cameras due to their extremely compact design. The three new models each weigh less than 100 g and have a tube measuring only 29 mm in diameter. They are therefore perfect for use in extremely confined areas of application. The focus range is from 0.1 m to infinity (∞), the optimum working distance is 0.3 m.
The new M112FM series for 1/1.2-inch sensors extends Tamron's machine vision portfolio with an ultra-compact, ultra-light product line. For even larger sensors, the manufacturer also offers the 1.1” M111FM lenses, which also meet the highest standards of precision and sharpness. Tamron also has lenses for 2/3-inch sensors (series M23FM) and 1 / 1.8-inch sensors (M118FM series).
