HIKROBOT MV-CB013-A0UM-B — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, USB3.0, Mono, 201 fps, Bare Board

At 1280×1024 and up to 201 fps, the MV-CB013-A0UM-B sits a step up in resolution from the CB004 line while still running a global-shutter CMOS sensor with 4.8 µm pixels, a 40 dB SNR and 53 dB dynamic range. It is the most stripped-down variant in the CB013 mono family: the lens mount field is listed as “None,” and the board itself measures just 32.5×32.5×1.6 mm at roughly 10 g — a bare, flat PCB with no lens seat and no housing, meant to be built directly into a customer-designed optical and mechanical assembly.
USB3.0 carries both power and data over a single cable, drawing a typical 1.6 W at 5 VDC, and two bidirectional non-isolated I/O lines (Line 2, Line 5) are available for trigger and signalling. Because there is no lens mount, the customer supplies and aligns the lens and any enclosure themselves. It follows USB3 Vision and GenICam, so it works with MVS and other compliant third-party software once integrated.

- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam standard, and third-party software based on these protocol and standard.
Where it is used
Its ultra-thin, mount-free board is suited to designs where the camera electronics must be embedded directly behind a custom optical path — compact OEM instruments, handheld or space-limited devices, or multi-camera modules — where 1.3 MP resolution and 201 fps support position or presence checks and fast-moving object capture.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
