    • PRODUCT OVERVIEW

      What is this product?

      The KEYENCE CA-LH8 is an 8 mm C-mount machine-vision lens for image sensors up to 2/3 inch. Its F1.4–F16 aperture, 0.1 m minimum working distance and low TV distortion support wide-field inspection while retaining detail across the image. Lens selection must also account for camera sensor format, required field of view, working distance, lighting and focus access. Certain CV camera heads need a close-up ring at least 1.5 mm thick when this lens is used.

      Optical fit check

      Confirm the camera model, sensor size, field of view and working distance before treating the 8 mm focal length as a complete optical match.
    • APPLICATIONS

      Where it may be used

      Choose this lens for a machine-vision station only after field of view, sensor size, target distance, required resolving power and mechanical clearance have been validated together.

      Wide-area inspection

      Captures broad workpiece coverage when an 8 mm C-mount lens matches the camera sensor.

      Conveyor overview imaging

      Observes moving parts across a wider scene after exposure and motion blur are controlled.

      Robot guidance optics

      Provides calibrated scene geometry when lens distortion and camera mounting are compensated.

      Compact camera retrofit

      Replaces an installed CA-LH8 after focus, aperture, filter thread and spacer fit are checked.

Information

Overview Manuals Lens Setup C-Mount Sensor Fit

Features:

  • The 8 mm focal length provides a wide field of view for compatible machine-vision camera formats.
  • Low published TV distortion helps preserve geometry for inspection, measurement and position-finding tasks.
  • A manual F1.4–F16 aperture supports exposure and depth-of-field adjustment for the installed illumination.
The KEYENCE CA-LH8 is an 8 mm C-mount machine-vision lens for image sensors up to 2/3 inch. Its F1.4–F16 aperture, 0.1 m minimum working distance and low TV distortion support wide-field inspection while retaining detail across the image.

Manufacturer reference: KEYENCE CA-LH8 official English model specifications.

Exact-model verification and sourcing support are available for CA-LH8.
KEYENCE CA-LH8 official documentation and relevant product resources, Link Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.

KEYENCE publishes -0.6% TV distortion for the supported 2/3-inch format and -0.28% for a 1/3-inch format. Calibrate the completed camera-and-lens assembly when dimensional or robot-coordinate results depend on image geometry.

Verify thread condition, flange seating, focus travel and aperture locking before installation. Add the manufacturer-specified close-up ring for CV-020, CV-070, CV-035C/M or CV-H035C/M applications.

The lens supports image sensors up to 2/3 inch. A smaller sensor crops the available image circle and changes the effective field of view, so validate the camera format and working distance together.

Technical notes

The KEYENCE CA-LH8 is an 8 mm C-mount machine-vision lens for image sensors up to 2/3 inch. Its F1.4–F16 aperture, 0.1 m minimum working distance and low TV distortion support wide-field inspection while retaining detail across the image. Manufacturer reference: KEYENCE CA-LH8 official English model specifications. Confirm the CA-LH8 label, 8 mm focal length, C-mount camera, sensor format, field of view and required resolving power. A visually similar lens may produce different distortion or edge detail. Protect both optical surfaces, seat the C-mount without cross-threading, set focus and aperture under production lighting, then complete the vision program's calibration and repeatability check.

Optical Match Review

Confirm the CA-LH8 label, 8 mm focal length, C-mount camera, sensor format, field of view and required resolving power. A visually similar lens may produce different distortion or edge detail.

Lens Setup Checks

Protect both optical surfaces, seat the C-mount without cross-threading, set focus and aperture under production lighting, then complete the vision program's calibration and repeatability check.

PRODUCT & ORDER FAQS

Questions buyers ask about CA-LH8

  • What camera mount does the CA-LH8 use?

    It uses a standard C-mount. Confirm the camera's mount, flange condition and available focus travel before installation.
  • Which image-sensor size is supported by this 8 mm lens?

    KEYENCE specifies compatibility up to a 2/3-inch image sensor. Smaller formats change the captured field of view.
  • How much TV distortion is specified for the lens?

    The official model page lists -0.6% for the compatible 2/3-inch format and -0.28% for a 1/3-inch format.
  • What is the minimum working distance for CA-LH8?

    The published minimum working distance is 0.1 m. The final field of view and focus range must still be proven on the actual camera.
  • When is a close-up ring required with this model?

    For CV-020, CV-070, CV-035C/M and CV-H035C/M camera heads, KEYENCE calls for a close-up ring at least 1.5 mm thick.
  • Can the aperture be adjusted for production lighting?

    Yes. The aperture is adjustable from F1.4 to F16, allowing exposure and depth of field to be balanced for the verified inspection scene.
  • What resolving power is published for the CA-LH8?

    KEYENCE states 100 cycles/mm at the image center and 80 cycles/mm at the periphery.
  • What lens details should be included with a sourcing request?

    Provide the CA-LH8 model, camera model, sensor size, target field of view, working distance, required quantity and photographs of the current optical setup.
