HIKROBOT MVL-AF2840M-M42 — Lenses
28 mm, F4.0-F11, ⌀30 mm image circle, M42 mount
The MVL-AF2840M-M42 is a 28 mm Half Frame Lens with a comparatively narrow F4.0-F11 aperture range, built on a Φ30 mm image circle that covers both APS-C area scan and 4K line scan cameras. Unlike the wider-aperture models in this family, it is optimized for consistent image clarity and low distortion across a mid-range aperture band. That makes it well suited to systems running under stable, predictable illumination rather than variable low-light conditions.

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 line scan cameras.
Where it is used
The 28 mm focal length and narrower aperture range work well in inspection lines with fixed lighting and mid-range camera-to-object distances, such as end-of-line packaging checks or batch imaging of medium-sized parts. Low distortion also helps these systems measure part edges and dimensions accurately.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
