New Kowa Optical Innovation!

In the ever evolving field of machine vision, innovation is not optional, it’s essential. Kowa, a trusted leader in precision optics, continues to set new industry benchmarks through its commitment to technological advancement and proven reliability. Today, we spotlight a breakthrough prototype lens design that exemplifies Kowa’s dedication to enabling demanding industrial applications and next-generation imaging systems.

Introducing the LM1.7NS18-FE: An Ultra-Wide Fisheye Lens for Expansive Coverage.

The LM1.7NS18-FE fisheye lens is designed for machine vision applications that demand exceptional coverage, durability, and reliability in compact form factors and harsh environments.
.Advanced protective coatings make this compact new lens ideal for harsh environments.

Key features include:

• Compact S-Mount (M12) Design: Ideal for space-constrained systems where size and integration flexibility are critical.
  
• Advanced Protective Coatings: Scratch-resistant and dirt-repellent surfaces with non-stick water properties help the lens withstand harsh conditions.
• 185° Field of View: Enables wide-area monitoring while reducing the need for multiple cameras—well suited for multi-zone and panoramic imaging.

Ultra wide angle fisheye monitors more, reducing the need for additional optics.

Engineered for demanding performance, the LM1.7NS18-FE delivers versatile, rugged imaging across applications such as intelligent transportation, smart surveillance, and industrial automation. It reflects Kowa’s commitment to advancing machine vision solutions for mission-critical environments.

Coming soon! Stay tuned for launch updates and availability — innovation is just around the corner!
