Install the Lens (C-Mount Lens Configuration)
There are two lens configurations available for the vision system: an M12 lens configuration, and a C-Mount lens
configuration. If you purchased a vision system with the M12 lens configuration, the vision system is shipped with the
lens pre-installed and no additional installation is required. If you purchased a vision system with the C-Mount lens
configuration, you will need to complete the following steps to install the lens to the vision system.
Note
:
l
Autofocus is not supported for the C-Mount lens configuration.
l
If you purchased a vision system with the pre-installed M12 lens, the lens can be replaced with other M12
lenses. The Cognex Lens Tool accessory (LNS-M12-TOOLKIT) must be used to replace the M12 lens. For
installation instructions, refer to the

M12-TOOLKIT) may cause damage to the vision system.

and the field of view required for your machine vision application.
