HIKROBOT MVL-AF1828M-M42B — Lenses
18 mm, F2.8-F22, ⌀30 mm image circle, M42 mount
The MVL-AF1828M-M42B is an 18 mm fixed-focal-length lens in HIKROBOT’s FA Lens Half Frame series, built around a Φ30 mm image circle to deliver high resolution for 4K, 7 μm pixel-pitch line scan cameras. Its short focal length gives it a wide angle of view, and the lens uses a high-resolution optical design that keeps image resolution ultra-high even wide open at F2.8. The broad F2.8-F22 aperture range lets integrators trade off depth of field against exposure as lighting conditions demand.

Key features
- Adopts a high-resolution lens design for 4K, 7 μm line scan cameras.
- Delivers ultra-high image resolution at the maximum aperture of F2.8.
- Provides a maximum image size of Φ30 mm.
Where it is used
The 18 mm focal length suits machine-vision stations where the camera must sit close to the target yet still capture a wide field of view, such as inspecting an entire PCB or small-component panel in a single frame. Its high-resolution optics also make it a good match for 4K line scan surface inspection and print quality control lines.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
