HIKROBOT MVL-KF1228M-12MPE — Lenses
12 mm, F2.8-F22, 1.1″, C-mount

The MVL-KF1228M-12MPE sits in the middle of the KF-E family’s focal-length range at 12 mm, giving a balanced field of view. Its aperture range, F2.8 to F22, is wider than most siblings in the series, offering finer control over depth of field alongside light intake — useful for tuning sharpness depth to the application.

Where it is used
The standard 12 mm angle is a common choice for general-purpose machine-vision stations — assembly verification, barcode/QR reading, presence detection. Being able to stop down to F22 helps when a part has an uneven surface or features at different heights that all need to stay in focus, calling for greater depth of field.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
Is this lens right for your application?
Let us determine focal length, sensor size, working distance and field of view together, based on your application. FST is HIKROBOT’s distributor in Türkiye; product selection, commissioning and after-sales support all come from one source.
