Hikrobot MVL-AF1828M-M42B

Optical coverage and working range

Large-format manual imaging is the purpose of MVL-AF1828M-M42B. This fixed 18 mm lens covers a Φ30 mm image size through an M42 × P1 mount, placing it apart from the smaller C-mount optics in the lineup. Focus and iris are manual, with an aperture range from F2.8 to F22. Its stated working distance extends from 150 mm to 1500 mm and the magnification range from 0.012 × to 0.105 ×, supporting adjustable geometry rather than a single fixed object plane.

At a 150 mm working distance, the horizontal field reaches 276.9 mm. That combination suits broad part, panel and assembly inspection where an APS-C optical format and substantial scene width are required. Manual focus fixes the selected object plane, while the manual iris allows depth of field and exposure to be set during commissioning. The -1.1% optical distortion figure is relevant where dimensions or edge positions are extracted from the image, and the M72 × P0.75 thread provides the stated filter connection.

MVL-HF1628M-6MPE is the compact 16 mm alternative for a Ø 9 mm image and C-mount, with F2.8 to F16 rather than F22. MVL-KF1628M-12MP also uses 16 mm and C-mount but covers Ø 17.6 mm, still below this lens's Φ30 mm image size. Select MVL-AF1828M-M42B when M42 × P1, APS-C coverage and the 150 mm to 1500 mm working range drive the design; select either C-mount neighbour when its smaller image circle matches the camera.

Specifications

Selection and applications

APS-C panel inspection. Wide-field assembly imaging. Variable-distance measurement views.

Minimum kit: The minimum setup is an M42 × P1 camera, the MVL-AF1828M-M42B lens, a data cable matching the camera interface, and the power source specified for that camera.

Nearby in the range: MVL-HF1628M-6MPE — Prefer it for a 16 mm C-mount design covering a Ø 9 mm image.; MVL-KF1628M-12MP — Prefer it for 16 mm C-mount imaging with a Ø 17.6 mm image size..

FAQ

Which camera mount and image size suit the MVL-AF1828M-M42B?

The lens uses an M42 × P1 mount and covers a Φ30 mm image size. It is identified as an APS-C fixed-focal-length lens, so the camera-side mechanical connection and sensor coverage should both correspond to those values rather than to the C-mount geometry used by many other lenses here.

What working-distance and magnification range can be configured?

The listed working-distance span is 150 mm to 1500 mm, with magnification from 0.012 × to 0.105 ×. Those ranges allow the imaging geometry to be set for broad scenes or a tighter object area, subject to the required focus and field at the chosen distance.

How wide is the horizontal field at the nearest stated distance?

At 150 mm working distance, the horizontal field of view is 276.9 mm. This is the one explicitly stated field-width condition for the lens, so it gives a direct reference point for laying out a wide inspection area around the 18 mm focal length.

Are focus and aperture motorized on this APS-C lens?

No. Focus control and iris control are both manual. The aperture range is F2.8 to F22, allowing light level and depth of field to be set during setup. Once commissioned, focus and iris remain manual settings rather than remotely commanded camera functions.

How does this lens differ from the 16 mm C-mount alternatives?

MVL-AF1828M-M42B uses an 18 mm focal length, M42 × P1 mount and Φ30 mm image size. MVL-HF1628M-6MPE covers Ø 9 mm, while MVL-KF1628M-12MP covers Ø 17.6 mm; both are 16 mm C-mount lenses with F2.8 to F16 apertures.
