TFL-Mount
A TFL-Mount is a specific mechanical mount used in the industry for cameras and lenses. The term "TFL" stands for "Treaded Filter Lens" and describes the thread system used with this mount. TFL-Mounts are also known as "M30.5x0.5" because they have a thread with a diameter of 30.5 mm and a pitch of 0.5 mm.
The technical characteristics of the TFL-Mount are based on this standardized thread and diameter, which allows high compatibility between different lenses and cameras. This mount is widely used in industrial vision systems and other applications where precision and consistency are important.
M42-Mount
The M42 mount is a widely used thread connection. It has a thread with a diameter of 42 mm and a pitch of 0.75 mm or 1 mm.
The M42 mount is often used for industrial lenses because it provides a simple and robust connection between the camera and the lens. It allows the use of different lenses on one camera and offers a high degree of flexibility in selecting the appropriate lens for the application.
