1/1.7" 12MP 3.6-18mm IR correction high-definition zoom ITS lens

This industrial-grade, five-times optical zoom lens—featuring a 1/1.7″ format, 12 megapixel resolution, and a focal length range of 3.6–18 mm—is engineered for high-precision machine vision applications. Designed specifically for compatibility with 1/1.7″ image sensors (maximum diagonal imaging circle: Ø9.4 mm), it delivers optimal optical performance across diverse operational conditions. The lens incorporates a fully optimized optical path to simultaneously support wide-field-of-view surveillance and long-range detail resolution. Key attributes include high-resolution imaging (>12 MP effective resolution), minimal geometric distortion (<0.5% typical="">

Value Proposition：

This lens represents a balanced convergence of four critical engineering priorities: (1) high-fidelity optical performance aligned with modern 12 MP+ CMOS sensors; (2) versatile 5× optical zoom capability without compromise in MTF or field uniformity; (3) universal C-Mount interoperability ensuring plug-and-play deployment across OEM and third-party camera platforms; and (4) robust industrial reliability under variable thermal, mechanical, and illumination conditions. Relative to comparable lenses in its class, it achieves superior cost-performance ratio—delivering enterprise-grade optical consistency while reducing total system integration effort and lifecycle maintenance costs. Its standardized interface, parfocal IR correction, and extended temperature tolerance directly mitigate common industry challenges: sensor-mount mismatch, nighttime defocus drift, thermal-induced misalignment, and costly retrofitting. As such, it serves as the recommended optical solution for mid-tier industrial vision deployments, intelligent security upgrades, and AI-driven edge vision product development.
