HIKROBOT MV-CA013-21UM — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, PYTHON1300, USB3.0, Mono, 210 fps
The MV-CA013-21UM pairs the PYTHON1300 sensor with a USB3.0 interface, reaching 210 fps at 1280×1024 — well above the 90 fps of the GigE 20GM/20GC models. SNR (39.8 dB) and dynamic range (59.6 dB) are unchanged, while its 56 g housing is among the lighter USB3.0 bodies in the series. This model is also listed under Delisting Preparation.
The USB3.0 interface, compatible with USB2.0, supports both 12 VDC external power and direct bus power (typ. 3 W @ 5 VDC); M2 screw holes secure the cable connection. The 6-pin Hirose connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output, and one bi-directional I/O line, with hardware triggering, software triggering, and free-run mode supported. USB 3.0 Vision and GenICam compliance enable integration with the MVS client.

Where it is used
Combining 1.3 MP resolution with 210 fps suits dimensional measurement and defect detection that need both fine detail and speed, such as PCB or electronics inspection on fast lines. Monochrome imaging is an advantage for contrast-based measurement. The compact, lightweight USB3.0 housing suits stations mounted on moving axes.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
