At Get Cameras we offer high-quality, affordable machine vision lenses and we have a wide range of industrial C-mount lenses, F-mount lenses, M12 lenses, telecentric lenses, and more, for industrial image processing / machine vision in various industries.
Our unique selling points are:
On the bottom of this page is more information about how to select your industrial lens.
C-Mount is a standardized thread connection. The main advantages are:
The only disadvantages of this lens is the size (relatively large) and the price. This lens is the most expensive version of machine vision lenses that you can place on an industrial vision camera.
A CS mount lens is a lens that is often used in security cameras. A CS lens can only be used on a CS-mount camera. When ordering our machine vision camera you also have the option to provide the camera with CS-mount.
Due to a poorer predictability of the delivery reliability of CS-mount lenses, we do not offer this standard in our online store. We only offer this for volume projects from 100 pieces per year. The prices of this lens usually vary between 8 and 25 euros per piece. In addition, we have the possibility to make adjustments to the iris. If you are interested in this lens, please let us know.
A M12 lens, also called S-mount lens, is the most compact lens for a vision camera. For example, this lens can be used in medical equipment and compact handheld devices. The S-mount lens is very small and is often used on compact board-level cameras. Do you want to use this lens on our machine vision camera? Then it is best to purchase a CS-mount camera. You also need a CS to M12 adapter and an M12 lockring to secure the lens. The lens can be used with a vision camera that has a sensor size of 1/3", 1/2.5", 1/2.3", 1/2" or 1/1.8".
We have chosen not to sell cheap M12 lenses, but high quality M12 lenses with little to no distortion. More expensive M12 lenses are suitable for very high resolution cameras and large image sensors (up to 1/1.8 "). Cheap M12 lenses often have a lot of geometric distortion and are only suitable up to a sensor size of 1/3".
We have special lenses designed for your special projects.
We offer a series of Microscope C-mount lenses that are compatible with our industrial cameras. Select between magnifications and opt for models with or without coaxial input.
For UV lengths between 240nm to 1000nm, you can find UV lens available for your machine vision application.
Our SWIR C-mount lens series are made for industrial applications and supports the wavelength range from 400nm to 1700 nm. With this wavelength, they cover visible spectrum + SWIR spectrum, being considered VIS-SWIR lenses.
Machine vision lenses usually have a fixed focal length and manual adjustable aperture. For some machine vision applications, we understand the need for a varifocal lens or a motorized focal / zoom lens or even an autofocus lens. If you didn’t find the lens that you are looking for, contact us.
The difference between a C-mount lens and this lens is that the lens mount of the camera with a CS-mount is 5mm shorter. A CS lens must be 5 mm shorter to the image-sensor than a C-mount lens.
It is possible, by means of an adapter (5mm ring), to use a C-mount lens on a CS-mount vision camera. However, it is not possible to use a CS mount lens on a C-mount vision camera. That is because in that case the lens will not be close enough to the image sensor.
An easy way to find the right focal length for your application is using our lens calculator. By inputting camera sensor size, field of view and working distance, a recommended focal length is calculated. As an advanced feature, you can input your camera parameters (resolution and pixel size) and find out the final FOV with the recommend focal length.
GeT Lenses has an assortment of different types of lenses. When selecting the correct machine vision lens, we recommend the following:
Here at Get Cameras, we understand the importance of long-term planning for your machine vision projects. While our machine vision lenses don't have a guaranteed life cycle, we're committed to keeping you informed. We work closely with the lens manufacturer and proactively monitor their availability. If a lens is nearing its End of Life (EOL), we'll reach out well in advance to let you know. This gives you ample time to consider a last-time purchase or explore suitable alternatives we can offer. By staying informed, you can ensure a smooth transition and avoid any potential disruptions to your projects.
Would you like to purchase a machine vision lens (C-mount lens, M12 lens, telecentric lens or any other) but do you still have a question? Please let us know, we are more than happy to help you further.
