HIKROBOT MV-CA013-A0UC — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, USB3.0, Color, 201 fps

The MV-CA013-A0UC carries the same sensor and 201 fps ceiling as its mono sibling but with color output. The 4.8 μm pixel on a 1/2″ sensor, together with 40 dB SNR and 53 dB dynamic range, keeps that high frame rate intact in color mode. This model is likewise covered by HIKROBOT’s ‘Delisting Preparation’ status.
Power and I/O again run through a 6-pin P7 connector, with the USB3.0 line carrying data plus 9-24 VDC / USB3.0 power, and PoE also supported. Customizable ROI and image-reversal options let the camera adapt to different mounting orientations without extra software-side processing. USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance simplifies integration with MVS and third-party software.

Where it is used
Combining color output with 201 fps suits fast lines that need color information for the decision itself – color-coded part sorting, package or label print inspection. The 1.3 MP resolution is enough to read both color and position on mid-sized objects at once. Its compact housing also saves space in multi-camera, high-speed line setups.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
