How do you keep batch-to-batch consistency across 10K+ orders?

Approved-version control, 1 μm-class active alignment, interferometer-verified prescriptions, and per-batch MTF/distortion/BFL records that ship with the order. The discipline comes from our founders' volume-production background at CASC, Hikvision, Foxconn, and Sunny Optical.

Are datasheets available for every model?

Catalog models carry per-model spec sheets; request the full set via the catalog button. Full MTF curves and mechanical drawings accompany quotation-stage documents.

What if my task doesn't fit any of the nine families?

Describe the task or send a sample. Everything outside the catalog routes to custom optics, including reverse engineering from a physical part with no drawings. Feasibility feedback comes with the first reply.

What are sampling and payment terms?

Catalog lenses support low-MOQ sampling; custom projects follow 50% deposit and 50% before shipment (T/T). An NDA is signed before drawing exchange, and tooling is stored free for 5 years.

Machine Vision Lens Portfolio | 9 Lens Families

Q: Which lens family should I start with for a standard inspection camera?

Start from sensor format and task. For 2/3" to 1.1" inline inspection, start with FA C-mount lenses; for embedded 1/1.8"-class modules, start with M12/S-mount; for measurement, telecentric; for moving webs, line scan. The two selection paths on this page map sensor and task to a family in one step. If two families tie, send the sensor part number and we shortlist for you.

Q: What is the difference between catalog and custom products?

Catalog families (FA, M12, telecentric, line scan, liquid, thermal) support sampling from 50 pcs standard MOQ. Custom OEM/ODM starts from a drawing or a physical sample and runs prototype-to-mass-production in 60 working days, with repeat orders in 30 days.

By sensor

Start from Your Sensor: Machine Vision Camera Matching, 1/9″ to 1.1″

Most programs lock the sensor first — Sony IMX, OmniVision, eYENix — then hunt for glass that covers it. Pick your format and land on the family built for it.

Products FAQ

Before You Drill into a Family

Which lens family should I start with for a standard inspection camera?

Open Machine Vision first. Inline 2/3″–1.1″ cameras start at FA-CS; embedded board cameras at FA-M12; gauging at telecentric; moving webs at line scan. Endoscope, thermal, and wide-angle are separate families. If two lines could fit, send the sensor part number and we shortlist.

Can you match a lens to my existing machine vision camera?

Yes. Send the camera or sensor part number — Sony IMX, OmniVision, eYENix, or others. We confirm format, image circle, CRA, and mount, then propose catalog glass or a custom design. Match checks are typically answered within one business day.

Do you sell cameras?

No. Lensmind is a lens and optical module manufacturer — cameras are not our product line. Our optics are specified against leading machine vision camera sensors, and we co-design at module level with camera teams.

What is the difference between catalog and custom products?

The OTS catalog is the four families on this page and the product lines under them. Sampling is available on catalog models. Custom starts from a drawing or a physical sample when the catalog cannot cover the prescription.
