HIKROBOT MV-CL042-91CM — Line Scan Cameras
4096×2, Camera Link, Mono, 100 kHz
The MV-CL042-91CM shares the same 4096×2, 100 kHz Camera Link platform as its color sibling but in monochrome, trading color capture for maximum contrast sensitivity and simpler image processing. It combines multiple exposure/acquisition methods with ISP-based Gamma, PRNUC, LUT and black-level correction for stable high-speed grayscale imaging.

Where it is used
Suited to ultra-high-speed, high-resolution monochrome defect detection on demanding surfaces — glass, steel, and solar cell or wafer inspection — where fine detail and top line rates matter more than color information.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
