Superior vibration resistance and mechanical design
Value Engineering
Every field with diverse product offerings has its own broad mix from which to choose. Some offerings are generalized; some fit a specific niche. When designing a machine vision application, and choosing components like cameras, sensors, lenses, lighting, etc., each component has to be at least slightly better than “good enough”, but need not be more than needed. The whole field of value engineering has evolved to guide practitioners in achieving required functionality while also respecting budgetary goals.

Moritex ML-M-HR lens series
The Moritex ML-M-HR series is part of Moritex larger FA Series of lenses. The “FA” stands for Factory Automation, which suggests points including:
- Robust mechanical engineering
- Quality designed to deliver reliable results and stand the test of time
- Priced to permit volume purchases by achieving return on investment
Of course, the lenses are not constrained to factory automation, and you may purchase as few as you need. The factory automation insight just helps to understand their design heritage and largest market.
Specifics:

Pixel size and resolving capacity
Designed for 4.5 µm pixels, the lenses may of course also be used with larger pixels, but aren’t suitable for smaller. So they are an ideal fit for Sony Pregius 3rd generation sensors.
See Moritex lens families for other pixel sizes and lens types. The Moritex ML-M-HR lenses resolve to 130 line pairs / mm. See our Knowledge Base article Key Considerations in Machine Vision Lens Selection for generalized guidance on concepts.
With wide-range anti-reflective (AR) coatings, the lenses provide consistent transmission from visible (Vis) through near infrared (NIR) wavelengths, i.e. 400 ~ 1100nm.
Six member family
There are six choices in the Moritex ML-M-HR series, spanning from focal lengths 8mm – 50mm, at typical intervals. The link in the previous sentence takes you to the detailed table – and quote request buttons.
