Computar - VL6Z1626UC-MPYIR - Lens Connect 16 - 96mm

Product Overview

The Computar VL6Z1626UC-MPYIR is a 12MP motorized lens from the LensConnect series, designed for 1.1" format sensors and optimized for the IMX183. It features a versatile 16–96mm zoom range and utilizes a USB 2.0 interface for convenient plug-and-play power and control. Equipped with a floating focus design, the lens maintains ultra-high resolution across its entire focal range, while integrated stepper motors ensure precise, repeatable adjustments of the zoom, focus, and P-iris. This remote-controlled system is ideal for applications requiring high-definition imaging and easy software-based configuration.

Key Features

The features include fully motorized control for zoom, focus, and iris via a USB interface, supported by free plug-and-play software for Windows and Linux. Its floating focus design and P-Iris system work in tandem to deliver ultra-high 12MP resolution and precise depth of field management across large-format sensors like the IMX183. Integrated stepper motors ensure exceptional focus accuracy and repeatability, making it an ideal solution for remote industrial imaging where high performance is required without complex setup.

Technical Context

Designed with a φ43.0 mm front aperture and a φ15.4 mm rear aperture, maintaining a consistent 13.9 mm back focal length across its entire range. It offers expansive coverage for 1.1" sensors, providing a horizontal field of view from 48.1° at wide to 8.5° at telephoto, while also supporting 1" and 2/3" sensor formats. Equipped with a USB 2.0 interface, the unit features fully motorized control over the iris, focus, and zoom for seamless remote operation. 

Installation Notes

The Computar VL6Z1626UC-MPYIR features a streamlined, industrial design weighing 330g and utilizes a standard C-Mount with a 17.526mm flange back. Engineering for simplicity, the lens is powered entirely via USB bus power (500mA) through a Type A connector, eliminating the need for external power supplies. It is equipped with an integrated 1/4-20UNC screw thread for secure tripod mounting and is built to perform in demanding environments.
