Kowa LMVZ, Varifocal, C-Mount, Adjustable FOV Lenses

Kowa LMVZ series varifocal lenses deliver flexible, high-resolution imaging for machine vision, industrial inspection, and surveillance applications. Their adjustable focal length design allows integrators to fine-tune field of view without changing lenses, simplifying system configuration and installation. Optimized for modern megapixel sensors, these C-mount lenses provide sharp image quality, low distortion, and consistent contrast throughout the zoom range.

Select IR-corrected models maintain precise focus in both visible and near-infrared illumination, supporting day/night and multispectral imaging. Featuring manual iris and focus control along with rugged industrial construction, Kowa LMVZ varifocal lenses ensure reliable, repeatable performance in automation, robotics, and precision measurement environments.

  • Pixel size rating varies by model; select based on the camera sensor and resolution requirement.
  • Varifocal focal length adjustment supports flexible field-of-view setup.
  • C-mount compatibility for broad industrial camera integration.
  • Supports high-resolution megapixel imaging sensors.
  • IR-corrected optics available on select models for visible and NIR imaging.
  • Low distortion for measurement and inspection tasks.
  • High contrast and edge-to-edge sharpness.
  • Useful for development systems or applications where the final field of view may need adjustment.
