Frequently asked questions

What sensors work with the CIL078 8mm M12 lens?

The CIL078 works with 1/1.7 inch and 1/1.8 inch sensors, including the Sony IMX334, ON Semiconductor AR0822, and Sony IMX226. Its 9.2mm image circle covers those formats with margin.

How much distortion does the CIL078 8mm S-mount lens have?

The CIL078 has -1.1% TV distortion measured at the 8.8mm image circle. That is low enough for barcode scanning, OCR, and dimensional measurement without software distortion correction in many systems.

Can the CIL078 be used for barcode reading and machine vision inspection?

Yes. The combination of low distortion, all-glass construction, and 8MP resolution makes it a solid choice for barcode reading, optical character recognition, dimensional measurement, and automated optical inspection in factory automation.

What is the difference between M12A and M12B (IP67) variants?

M12A is the standard variant. M12B adds IP67 sealing with a weatherproof barrel for outdoor, washdown, or humid environments. Both use the same optical design and accept optional 650nm IR cut filters.

Does the CIL078 8mm M12 lens ship from the United States?

Yes. Commonlands ships all in-stock lenses same day from San Diego, California for orders placed before 12 PM PST.

Are .STP files and mechanical drawings available for the CIL078?

Yes. Mechanical drawings are on the product page. Contact engineering@commonlands.com for .STP 3D model files for CAD integration.

CIL078 is an 8mm M12 lens for machine vision on 1/1.7" sensors. It resolves 8MP and above on the IMX334, AR0822, and IMX226, while holding distortion to just -1.1% barrel across the 8.8mm image circle.

That distortion level is low enough for barcode reading, dimensional measurement, and PCB inspection, so you can often skip software correction and keep the processing budget for something else.

The optical design uses nine all-glass elements in an aluminum barrel. The fixed F/2.0 aperture gives you useful light indoors, and the lens works well at 300mm to 1000mm working distances that show up often in factory automation.

Two mechanical variants cover different environments. M12A is the standard version, while M12B adds IP67 sealing for washdown lines and outdoor installs. Both accept an optional 650nm IR cut filter, and total weight is 10.44g.

The CIL078 fits FLIR Blackfly S, Allied Vision Alvium, Basler Dart, iDS uEye LE, and The Imaging Source board cameras with Commonlands CLA019 lens holders. Orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from San Diego, and Trioptics MTF test data is available on request.
