Kowa Lenses for 2/3" Sensors

Lenses for 2/3" sensors are covered in several series: JC, JC10M, JC5M-IR, JC5M2, JC5MC, JCM, JCM-V, JCM-WP, MACRO, and TC.

JC lenses have excellent resolution, and with focal lengths ranging from 6mm to 100mm, the JC lenses can be used in various applications.

JC10M lenses are a 10-megapixel lens series providing 200 line pairs per mm resolution and low distortion to maximize performance for high-end applications. Broadband coating and floating mechanism design dramatically reduce chromatic aberration at any distance and maintain a high transmission from visible to NIR.

JC5M-IR lens series are IR-corrected lenses with broadband coating. These lenses showcase low distortion and are perfect for high-end applications that require 5-megapixel cameras.

JC5M2 lens series are perfect for high-end applications that require 5-megapixel cameras. With a fast ƒ-stop, locking screws, and a compact design, these lenses provide a good value between price and performance. The JC5M2 lenses are compact, lightweight, and have a fast ƒ-stop of ƒ1.4.

JC5MC series lenses are ultra-compact 2/3″ 5-megapixel lenses for C-Mount. These are small, lightweight, robust, and vibration-resistant.

JCM lens series provides a high megapixel resolution and utilizes a floating mechanism design. With a close minimum object distance, low distortion, and compact design, these lenses are ideal for machine vision applications.

JCM-V series is made for use in high-vibration and high-shock environments. These ruggedized megapixel lenses are ideal for applications that require increased durability and high optical performance.

The JCM-WP series protects against extreme environments ranging from high vibration/shock to damp/wet conditions. These ruggedized waterproof megapixel lenses are ideal for applications that require increased durability and superior optical performance.

The Macro Zoom lens series is useful in production processes such as character recognition, pattern matching, measurement, and inspection.

TC is short for Telecentric. Telecentric lenses have very low distortion. They produce high contrast and resolution in both the center and corners. In a telecentric optical system, there is no change in magnification when focusing, and magnification is constant over working distances. Thus, the movement of an object does not change the magnification. Therefore, it is suitable for measuring objects with high accuracy.
