HIKROBOT MV-CT2MU0032/G/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

The HIKROBOT MV-CT2MU0032/G/NN/NN is a mono camera from the MAX tier of the CT series USB3.0 area scan camera family. Its 2048 x 1536 resolution captures fine detail on the line, while a frame rate of up to 104.8 fps lets fast-moving objects be captured without streaking or blur. Together, these characteristics give the camera a balanced profile for applications that need both resolution and speed.

As a MAX-tier model, the lens and light source are built into the camera body, so focusing and illumination are handled from the camera itself without a separate controller or extra cabling, which simplifies installation. The USB 3.0 interface carries both data and power over a single cable. The CT series’ USB3.0 models are designed to work with HIKROBOT MVS software and with GenICam-based third-party machine vision software. Across the CT series, PRO and MAX models can also offer waterproof connector options.

Specifications

Key features

• Integrated lens and illumination. The MAX version integrates the lens and light source into the body; lens focusing and illumination control are handled from the camera.
• High-bandwidth Type-C. The Type-C interface supports higher transmission bandwidth.
• Open standard compliance. Works seamlessly with the USB3 Vision protocol, the GenICam standard and third-party software built on them.
• Waterproof connection. PRO and MAX versions use a waterproof connector; IP67 is reached when correctly installed.
• Precision temperature control. PRO and MAX versions include a precision temperature control design for fast heat balance, which keeps measurement stable over long cycles.
• Automatic colour correction. Colour models of the PRO and MAX versions support auto colour correction based on multi-spectral fusion technology. (This model is mono; the feature applies to its colour counterpart.)

Where it is used

The 2048 x 1536 resolution provides enough detail for applications where small defects or fine measurement points need to be distinguished. A frame rate of up to 104.8 fps keeps pace with fast-moving lines in counting, positioning and presence/absence checks without the image lagging behind. Together these traits make the camera a reasonable fit for general in-line quality inspection, part counting and position verification. The single-cable data-and-power design of USB 3.0 also simplifies setup in compact mounting locations.

Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, line speed and surface characteristics. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
