HIKROBOT MVL-HF1228M-6MPE — Lenses
12 mm, F2.8 to F16, Ø9 mm (1/1.8″), C-mount

The MVL-HF1228M-6MPE sits in the middle of the family’s focal-length range, a fixed-focal C-mount lens matched to 1/1.8″ 6 MP sensors. At 12 mm, it moves away from the extreme wide angles of the shortest variants toward a more balanced ratio between part size and camera-to-object distance. Per HIKROBOT, it pairs high-contrast image clarity with ultra-low distortion, which supports geometric measurement accuracy in mid-range applications.

- Good optical performance at ultra-short working distance
- Compact design, convenient for device integration
Where it is used
The 12 mm focal length is a balanced choice for stations working at neither very close nor very long range, where medium-sized parts need to be measured or checked for defects. It suits lines where parts move on a conveyor at a steady pace and both the overall shape and surface detail must be assessed together. It is a practical single-lens option for medium-scale assembly cells that need general inspection and detail detection from the same view.
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.
