Kowa LMVZ Varifocal Lenses

Kowa LMVZ series varifocal lenses deliver flexible, high-resolution imaging for machine vision, industrial inspection, and surveillance applications. Their adjustable focal length design allows integrators to fine-tune field of view without changing lenses, simplifying system configuration and installation. Optimized for modern megapixel sensors, these C-mount lenses provide sharp image quality, low distortion, and consistent contrast throughout the zoom range.

Select IR-corrected models maintain precise focus in both visible and near-infrared illumination, supporting day/night and multispectral imaging. Featuring manual iris and focus control along with rugged industrial construction, Kowa LMVZ varifocal lenses ensure reliable, repeatable performance in automation, robotics, and precision measurement environments.
