HIKROBOT MV-CA013-20GM — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, PYTHON1300, GigE, Mono, 90 fps

The MV-CA013-20GM steps up to 1280×1024 (1.3 MP) resolution within the CA series, using the PYTHON1300 global-shutter sensor in its mono, GigE form and reaching 90 fps at that resolution. With 39.8 dB SNR and 59.6 dB dynamic range, it is among the models supporting the GigE Vision V2.0 protocol. This model is also listed under Delisting Preparation.
A 12 VDC power input with PoE support comes with the same 6-pin Hirose I/O set — one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output, one bi-directional line — and cable runs of up to 100 m without a relay are supported. Auto/manual adjustment of exposure, LUT and Gamma is available alongside hardware and software triggering, and up to 128 MB of local memory buffers burst transmission and retransmission. GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliance give it broad integration with third-party software.

Where it is used
The 1280×1024 resolution suits monochrome applications needing finer detail, such as dimensional measurement, PCB/electronics inspection, and code reading. A 90 fps rate allows these higher-resolution checks to run in real time on moderate-speed lines. GigE’s long cable reach makes it easy to place the camera away from the control cabinet.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
