HIKROBOT MVL-KF0618M-12MPE — Lenses
6 mm, F1.8-F16, 1.1″, C-mount

The MVL-KF0618M-12MPE is the shortest focal length in HIKROBOT’s 1.1″ 12 MP FA Lens (KF-E) family; at 6 mm it delivers the widest field of view in the series along with the fastest aperture, opening to F1.8. Its lower distortion keeps the edge bowing typical of wide-angle lenses in check, and the super-high image peripheral brightness ratio keeps the frame evenly lit out to its corners.

Key features
- Ultra-high resolution and consistent image clarity
- Lower distortion
- Super-high image peripheral brightness ratio
- Excellent optical properties maintained at different object distances
Where it is used
The ultra-wide 6 mm angle helps stations that must scan large-area parts — big PCBs, packaging boxes, panel surfaces — in a single frame at close range, while the F1.8 aperture helps shorten exposure time in dim lighting or fast-moving lines. Optical performance held across different object distances also matters on lines where product height varies from unit to unit.
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.
The data herein may vary based on the environment, objects and other various factors, and HIKROBOT shall not assume the consequences arising therefrom.
