Telephoto 50mm Fixed Focal Camera Lens 16MP C-Mount for Precision Metrology

The CQ5028-16M is a 50mm fixed focal machine vision lens built on a 16MP optical platform for demanding industrial imaging. Designed for the 2/3" format, this machine vision lens combines a F2.8 to F16 manual iris with a 0.3m to Infinity manual focus range, letting integrators lock brightness and depth of field directly at the machine. Every glass element is ground, coated and assembled in our own workshop, and each unit leaves the line with a serialised test record. Where a station needs repeatable precision metrology, the C-mount thread mounts straight onto GigE, USB3 and Camera Link cameras without adapters.

• Precision Metrology and automated optical inspection on high throughput lines
• Machine vision gauging, positioning and robot guidance systems
• Semiconductor, wafer and electronics quality control stations
• Print, label and packaging registration verification
• Food, pharmaceutical and agricultural optical sorting machines
• Precision metrology, measurement and industrial research instruments

• 16MP resolving power keeps fine features sharp across the whole 2/3" field
• Low TV distortion of 0.01% at 0.5m supports accurate measurement without software correction
• Manual iris and focus with locking screws hold settings under vibration
• Wide -20C to 70C operating window suits factory floors and non-climate-controlled cells
• Lead-free assembly and RoHS compliant glass and coatings support green procurement
• Compact 32 x 46mm metal barrel fits dense multi-camera stations

A: The optical design resolves 16 megapixels across the 2/3" image circle, so a single frame captures enough detail for defect detection and gauging without stacking multiple exposures.

A: Yes. The 50mm focal length and low distortion of 0.01% at 0.5m make this lens a strong match for precision dimensional metrology and sub-millimetre measurement, and the C-mount thread fits the majority of industrial cameras.

A: The metal barrel, locked manual controls and -20C to 70C operating range are specified for continuous duty. Each CQ5028-16M is burned in and its focus verified before packing.

A: Every lens passes a modulation transfer function (MTF) bench test, a distortion check, a coating inspection and a final visual audit. A batch test report is available on request so you can document supplier quality for your own audits.

A: Any C-mount camera with a 2/3" or smaller sensor works directly. The M27.0 P=0.5mm filter thread accepts standard filters, and we can supply extension rings, adapters and custom mounts for OEM projects.

Behind every CQ5028-16M is a machine vision optics team that has supplied fixed focal machine vision lens ranges to system integrators, camera makers and OEM equipment builders across Europe, North America and Asia. We manufacture in-house, keep tolerances under statistical control and provide traceable test data, so engineers get the same optical performance from the first sample to the ten-thousandth unit. Tell us your sensor, working distance and field of view, and our application engineers will confirm the 50mm 16MP machine vision lens is the right fit or recommend the closest alternative from the 16MP series. Volume pricing, private labelling and custom coatings are available for qualified programmes.
