HIKROBOT MVL-HF1628M-6MPE — Lenses
16 mm, F2.8 to F16, Ø9 mm (1/1.8″), C-mount

The MVL-HF1628M-6MPE is a fixed-focal C-mount lens at 16 mm, built for 1/1.8″ 6 MP area-scan cameras. This focal length narrows the field of view further, allowing the camera to sit a bit farther from the target while magnifying smaller details. According to HIKROBOT, the lens preserves geometric shape thanks to ultra-low distortion, which matters most for tasks that measure edges and corners.

- Ultra-low distortion and higher relative illumination rate
- Good optical performance at ultra-short working distance
- Compact design, convenient for device integration
Where it is used
The 16 mm focal length suits inspection stations where the camera must stand a bit farther from the object while still resolving small-scale detail clearly. In dimensional checks such as edge straightness or hole-diameter measurement, the low distortion helps keep measurement error down. It is a reasonable fit for assembly lines with limited clearance, where the camera has to sit slightly off to the side of the line rather than directly above it.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
