HIKROBOT MV-CA013-A0UM — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, USB3.0, Mono, 201 fps

The MV-CA013-A0UM pairs the same 1280 × 1024 global-shutter CMOS sensor with a USB3.0 interface in mono output; unlike its GigE sibling, this variant’s headline number is a frame rate of up to 201 fps. With a 40 dB SNR and 53 dB dynamic range it forms the USB3.0 mono entry of the CA series. It is currently listed under ‘Delisting Preparation’ in HIKROBOT’s catalog.
The USB3.0 interface remains backward-compatible with USB2.0, and a 6-pin P7 connector carries both USB3.0 or PoE power together with an opto-isolated input/output pair and a bidirectional I/O line. Customizable ROI and horizontal/vertical image reversal let integrators offload some processing work to the camera itself. Compliance with USB3 Vision and GenICam means direct connectivity with the MVS client and compatible third-party software.

Where it is used
Its 201 fps ceiling suits timing-critical tasks on fast lines – object counting, presence checks and position detection. The mono sensor favors contrast-based measurement and defect detection work. Its compact 29 × 29 × 30 mm housing eases placement on high-speed lines with tight mounting space.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
