MV18 - Robust laser module with M18 external thread
The FLEXPOINT® MV18 laser delivers the highest line quality even in harsh machine vision environments. It is available as standard with wavelengths from 405 nm to 850 nm and output powers up to 100 mW, with higher powers available on request.
M18 external thread and M12 connector
With its 19 x 65 mm housing, the laser module is very compact. Thanks to the M18 threaded housing it can be easily and quickly integrated into many standardized applications. An M12 connector is integrated for easy electrical connection.
Improved focusing mechanism (Edition 2025)
The MV18 laser modules are equipped with the new focusing mechanism from Edition 2025 and are protected against dust, splash water, and moisture ingress. Beam deviation during focusing has been reduced to a minimum.
Of course, the MV18 modules are still available with the familiar focusing mechanism if your existing system design requires it. In addition, a cost-effective version with fixed focus is also available for the FLEXPOINT® MV18.
Optical variants for every application
There are numerous optical variants to choose from, so that the best ratio between line thickness and depth of field can be achieved for every application.

FAQs
Beyond Borders
What advantages does the 2025 focusing mechanism of the FLEXPOINT® MV modules offer?
The 2025 focusing mechanism of the FLEXPOINT® MV laser modules MVpico, MVnano and MV18 offers a more robust design, particularly resistant to dust, humidity and water splashes. The modules are also more compact, and beam deviations during the focusing process have been further reduced. Handling remains as simple as ever.
For which applications are the FLEXPOINT® MV modules with the 2025 focusing mechanism particularly suitable?
The FLEXPOINT® MV modules are particularly suitable for demanding applications in industrial image processing (machine vision), such as in wood, metal and stone processing, where harsh conditions due to dust and water prevail.
Which FLEXPOINT® models are available with the 2025 focusing mechanism?
The FLEXPOINT® MVpico, MVnano and MV18 models are currently available with the 2025 focusing mechanism.
Can the FLEXPOINT®-MV modules still be ordered with older focusing mechanisms?
Yes, on request, LASER COMPONENTS continues to offer its modules with older mechanics if this is necessary for existing sensor designs, for example.
