The Kowa JCM-WP Lens Series

The Kowa JCM-WP Series combines IP67 waterproof protection with vibration-resistant construction to deliver consistent imaging quality where standard lenses fail. Engineered specifically for harsh industrial environments, these ruggedized C-mount lenses ensure reliable performance in factory automation, robotics, and outdoor applications.

The JCM-WP Series combines superior protective features with exceptional optical precision:

• IP67-certified complete protection against dust and water – ideal for washdown areas and high-humidity environments
• Water-repellent front lens with specialized O-ring seals for consistently clear vision in wet conditions
• Internal glass elements bonded with specialized adhesive to maintain perfect optical alignment even under extreme vibration
• Innovative two-way reversible locking nuts reliably prevent loosening of screws under mechanical shock
• Interchangeable iris plates instead of mechanical iris diaphragms for precise, vibration-resistant F-stop settings

The robust Kowa JCM-WP lenses offer measurable economic advantages:

• Minimized downtime thanks to extreme resistance to environmental factors
• Extended operational lifespan and lower total cost of ownership even in harshest conditions
• Reduced maintenance requirements through long-term stable optical alignment
• Deployment possibilities in previously critical areas such as wet zones or outdoor applications
• Optimal adaptability through interchangeable iris plates without compromising durability

IP67 Environmental Rating

• Complete protection against dust ingress for reliable operation in particle-heavy environments
• Waterproof construction withstands strong water jets and and immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes
• Specialized O-ring seals and water-repellent coating maintain optical clarity in wet conditions

Innovative Two-Way Reversible Nut

• Prevents misalignment and eliminates loose screws even under strong mechanical shock
• Ensures secure mounting and consistent optical alignment in dynamic applications
• Simplifies installation while providing superior stability

Ruggedized Mechanical Design

• Withstands high vibration and shock environments per IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27 standards

Comprehensive Focal Length Range 

• Available in 5mm, 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, and 50mm focal lengths
• Compatible with 2/3" format sensors (8.8 x 6.6 mm) common in factory automation and robotics
• 3.5mm focal length option available for 1/1.8" sensors for wide-angle applications

Premium Optical Performance

• High transmission across 400-1000nm wavelength range for flexible lighting options
• Delivers the same precision level as Kowa's acclaimed JCM-V series
• Resolution suitable for sensors up to 2 Megapixels with pixel sizes ≥ 4.5 µm

Ensure reliable inspection even in high-vibration assembly lines and wet processing areas. The JCM-WP lenses deliver consistent imaging for critical quality control applications despite harsh factory conditions.

Maintain clear vision in all weather conditions with waterproof construction that withstands rain, snow, and environmental exposure while providing reliable 24/7 operation.

Deploy vision systems in washdown areas with confidence. The IP67 rating ensures these lenses continue functioning reliably even during cleaning cycles and in high-humidity processing environments.

The shock and vibration resistance makes these lenses ideal for mobile robots operating in uneven terrain or dynamic environments where standard lenses would quickly lose optical alignment.
