PMS-LZL-12104-D1 Motorized 12.5X Zoom Lens for Automated Inspection
The POMEAS PMS-LZL-12104-D1 is a motorized 12.5X continuous zoom lens designed for automated machine vision inspection, semiconductor equipment, electronics inspection and precision industrial imaging. It provides an optical magnification range from 0.58X to 7.5X, allowing the imaging system to switch between larger field-of-view observation and high-magnification detail inspection without manually replacing the lens.
Compared with a manual zoom lens, the PMS-LZL-12104-D1 is better suited to automated systems that require controlled magnification adjustment, repeatable optical settings and integration into machine vision equipment.
The lens provides a 77.4 ± 2 mm working distance, supports industrial cameras with sensor formats up to 2/3 inch, and uses a standard C-Mount camera interface.

Key Advantages
Motorized Zoom for Automated Equipment
Motorized magnification adjustment allows the inspection system to change the optical field of view without requiring manual lens adjustment, making the lens suitable for automated production equipment and remote optical control.
0.58X–7.5X Optical Magnification
The wide optical magnification range covers both larger-area observation and high-magnification detail inspection within the same optical system.
12.5X Continuous Zoom Ratio
The 12.5:1 zoom ratio allows one imaging setup to handle different inspection areas and object sizes, reducing the need to frequently change lenses.
77.4 ± 2 mm Working Distance
The specified working distance provides practical installation space for samples, fixtures and machine vision lighting.
C-Mount and 2/3-Inch Sensor Support
The standard C-Mount interface supports integration with common industrial cameras using sensor formats up to 2/3 inch.
Low TV Distortion
TV distortion ranges from approximately 0.001% to 0.050% depending on magnification, supporting stable industrial imaging across the zoom range.

Motorized Zoom for Automated Machine Vision
The main advantage of the PMS-LZL-12104-D1 over a manual zoom lens is its ability to change magnification through an automated optical mechanism.
This is useful when a machine vision system needs to inspect different product sizes, switch between positioning and detailed inspection, or use different magnifications during different inspection stages.
The exact controller, cable, communication interface and software integration should be confirmed according to the final machine configuration before ordering.
Field of View and Magnification Selection
The final field of view depends on both the camera sensor size and selected optical magnification. Lower magnification provides a larger inspection area, while higher magnification provides a smaller field of view for detailed feature observation.
| Selection Item | Reference | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Camera Sensor Size | Up to 2/3 Inch | Determines the image area and affects the final field of view. |
| Optical Magnification | 0.58X–7.5X | Lower magnification provides a wider view; higher magnification provides finer detail. |
| Working Distance | 77.4 ± 2 mm | Determines the installation distance between the lens and inspection object. |
| Camera Interface | C-Mount | Supports integration with compatible industrial machine vision cameras. |
| Zoom Control | Motorized | Allows magnification adjustment to be integrated into automated inspection equipment. |
Selection Note: For accurate lens selection, provide the camera model or sensor dimensions, pixel size, object dimensions, required field of view, working distance, smallest inspection feature and required inspection accuracy.
