HIKROBOT MV-CT2CU0120/G/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

The HIKROBOT MV-CT2CU0120/G/NN/NN is a color model belonging to the MAX version of the CT series USB3.0 area scan camera family. With a 4096 × 3000 resolution, fine details and color tones can be distinguished across a wide field of view, while a frame rate of up to 31.0 fps allows images to be captured smoothly on medium-speed production lines. The 3rd generation BSI sensor design targets balanced imaging performance under variable lighting conditions. These characteristics form a balanced foundation for machine vision applications requiring high resolution and color imaging.

Being a MAX version, the lens and light source come integrated with the camera body; focusing and illumination can be controlled from the camera itself without a separate controller or additional cabling, simplifying the setup process. The USB 3.0 interface allows both data and power to be delivered over a single cable. CT series USB3.0 models are designed to work with HIKROBOT MVS software as well as GenICam-based third-party machine vision software. Waterproof connector structures may also be available on the PRO and MAX versions of the CT series.

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.

Where it is used

The 4096 × 3000 resolution provides sufficient detail for applications where small defects and subtle color differences must be distinguished on large-surface parts. A frame rate of up to 31.0 fps helps prevent the image from lagging in positioning, counting, and surface/color inspection tasks on medium-speed lines. Together, these characteristics offer a suitable option for color image-based quality control and general machine vision applications on the production line.

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