Kowa announces the release of their new 5 plus megapixel JC5M series 7/30/2009
The JC5M series are engineered for applications that monitor critical details, such as industrial factory automation, machine vision, and surveillance systems. Four JC5M lenses are available: the 12.5-mm LM12JC5M, 16-mm LM16JC5M, 25-mm LM25JC5M, and 35-mm LM35JC5M. The C-mount lenses are manually adjusted, giving the user complete control over focus and iris settings. The lenses minimize image distortion (between 0.01-0.06%). Each lens incorporates a proprietary floating mechanism design, which enables the lens to achieve optimum optical performance at various objective distances. The resolution of the lenses has been increased to 160 lp/mm at both the center and corner, allowing for high corner brightness and contrast.
