HIKROBOT MVL-AF2045M-M42 — Lenses
20 mm, F4.5-C, ⌀30 mm image circle, M42 mount
The MVL-AF2045M-M42 is a 20 mm Half Frame Lens whose aperture ring runs from F4.5 down to fully closed (C), built around a Φ30 mm image circle that supports both APS-C-format area scan cameras and 4K, 7 μm line scan cameras. Its optical design emphasizes excellent image-clarity consistency and low distortion, both important where repeatable measurement matters. The mid-range focal length strikes a balance between field-of-view coverage and detail resolution.

Key features
- Delivers excellent consistency of image clarity.
- Provides low distortion.
- Supports a maximum image size of Φ30 mm for APS-C area scan and 4K, 7 μm line scan cameras.
Where it is used
A 20 mm focal length fits lines that need to capture both the overall shape and the surface detail of medium-sized parts in a single setup, such as packaging inspection or general metal/plastic component checks. The low-distortion optics also help in dimensional-measurement stations where geometric accuracy is important.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
