Hikrobot MVL-KF1628M-12MPE

KF-E detail scale at 16 mm

A 16 mm focal length sets MVL-KF1628M-12MPE between wide overview and narrow detail on a Ø 17.6 mm, 1.1-inch image. The fixed C-mount lens provides 55.6° diagonal, 45.8° horizontal and 35.3° vertical coverage. Manual focus is paired with a manual F2.8 to F16 iris. Distortion is listed at 0.15%, giving a defined geometric input for inspection and alignment across the supported image area.

The 45.8° horizontal field fits component alignment, medium-area presence checks and feature inspection where the 8 mm KF-E model would include too much scene. Minimum object distance is 0.1 m, supporting compact mechanical layouts. Manual focus sets the target plane and iris adjustment controls the exposure-depth balance. The Ø 45.6 mm × 68.2 mm body has a mass of 189 g, and its M43 × 0.75 filter thread requires different front hardware from the M35.5 × 0.5 thread on the standard 16 mm KF lens.

MVL-KF0814M-12MPE expands the KF-E horizontal field to 84.8° at 8 mm and opens to F1.4. MVL-KF1628M-12MP shares the 16 mm focal length and Ø 17.6 mm coverage, but lists a 44.9° horizontal field, -1.30% distortion and a shorter Ø 38.6 mm × 48.56 mm body. Choose this KF-E variant for its 45.8° field and 0.15% distortion profile; choose the 8 mm KF-E for breadth or the standard 16 mm KF for its smaller housing.

Specifications

Selection and applications

Medium-area component alignment. Close-range feature inspection. Large-circle presence checking.

Minimum kit: For first images, combine a C-mount camera with the MVL-KF1628M-12MPE lens, the data cable needed by the camera interface, and the camera's specified power supply.

Nearby in the range: MVL-KF0814M-12MPE — Prefer it for a much wider 84.8° horizontal field and an F1.4 aperture.; MVL-KF1628M-12MP — Prefer it for the smaller Ø 38.6 mm × 48.56 mm body at the same 16 mm focal length..

FAQ

What view angles are specified for the 16 mm KF-E optic?

Coverage is 55.6° diagonal, 45.8° horizontal and 35.3° vertical on a Ø 17.6 mm image. The horizontal angle is close to the standard 16 mm KF lens's 44.9°, while remaining much narrower than the 8 mm KF-E lens's 84.8°.

How does the manual aperture range affect commissioning?

The iris adjusts manually from F2.8 to F16, and focus is manual. The operator establishes the target plane, light level and required depth behavior on the lens itself. These are fixed mechanical settings rather than camera-controlled functions.

What C-mount image format is supported by this KF-E model?

The supported image size is Ø 17.6 mm, identified as 1.1 inch. The lens uses C-mount with a 17.526 mm flange-back length. Its camera pairing must therefore respect that mechanical connection and image-circle limit.

Which close-focus and physical-envelope values matter?

Minimum object distance is 0.1 m. The assembly measures Ø 45.6 mm × 68.2 mm and weighs 189 g, with an M43 × 0.75 filter thread. Those values determine stand-off, barrel clearance, bracket load and front-filter hardware.

What distinguishes this lens from MVL-KF1628M-12MP?

Both are 16 mm C-mount lenses covering Ø 17.6 mm from 0.1 m. This KF-E model lists 45.8° horizontal coverage, 0.15% distortion and Ø 45.6 mm × 68.2 mm dimensions; the KF model lists 44.9°, –1.30% and Ø 38.6 mm × 48.56 mm.
