HIKROBOT MV-CT2CG0200/R/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

HIKROBOT MV-CT2CG0200/R/NN/NN is a color GigE model in the CT series of area scan cameras. Built around a 1″ Sony IMX183 CMOS sensor with a rolling shutter and 2.4 µm pixel size, it captures images at 5472 x 3648 resolution and up to 22.3 frames per second. A 65.9 dB dynamic range and 41.3 dB signal-to-noise ratio keep detail visible across high-resolution frames, while an exposure range from 46 µs to 2.78 s gives flexibility for both fast and low-light scenes.

As a MAX-series model, the lens and light source are integrated into the body, so there is no need for a separate controller and its wiring. Over Gigabit Ethernet, GigE Vision and GenICam compliance let the camera work directly with HIKROBOT MVS or with any third-party machine vision software that supports those standards. The 8-pin M12 X-Code waterproof connector and an IP67 rating, once the lens, enclosure and cables are correctly installed, suit dusty and washdown environments. At 42 x 42 x 43 mm, about 120 g, and drawing 2.3 W at 24 VDC, the camera remains compact.

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.
• 100 metre cable reach. The Gigabit Ethernet interface transmits up to 100 metres without a relay; PoE allows power over a single cable.
• Open standard compliance. Works seamlessly with the GigE Vision V2.0 protocol, the GenICam standard and third-party software built on them.
• Waterproof connection. PRO and MAX versions use a fully waterproof M12 X-Code 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 rolling shutter sensor makes this camera better suited to stationary or slow-moving parts than to fast, in-motion objects. Its 5472 x 3648 resolution helps distinguish fine defects and small details in surface inspection, dimensional measurement, and print or label verification. A frame rate of up to 22.3 fps is adequate for parts that are positioned, indexed, or briefly paused for imaging. The integrated lens and light source simplify installation on stations with tight mounting space, where separate illumination hardware and its wiring would otherwise be needed.

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