HIKROBOT MV-CT0CU0089/G/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

HIKROBOT MV-CT0CU0089/G/NN/NN is a color camera from the BASE tier of the CT series USB3.0 area scan camera family. Its 1-inch stacked BSI global shutter CMOS sensor, with a 3.45 µm pixel size, delivers 4096 x 2160 resolution (8.9 MP) images at up to 42 frames per second. A 67.4 dB dynamic range and 43.9 dB signal-to-noise ratio hold on to detail across varying lighting and on low-contrast surfaces. Exposure time is adjustable from 20 µs to 10 s, covering both fast-moving scenes and low-light conditions.

The camera connects over a USB 3.0 interface with a Type-C connector and draws its power from the same cable, consuming about 2 W at 5 VDC. Its compact 29 x 29 x 30 mm body, weighing roughly 72 g, fits easily into tight mounting spaces. Compliance with USB3 Vision and GenICam means it works directly with HIKROBOT MVS or any third-party machine vision software that supports these standards. The IP40 rating suits enclosed indoor use with the lens and cabling correctly installed; integrated lens/illumination and waterproof connectors are features of the PRO and MAX versions within the CT series, not of this model.

Specifications

Key features

• Integrated lens and illumination. The MAX version integrates the lens and light source into the body; lens focusing and illumination control are handled from the camera.
• High-bandwidth Type-C. The Type-C interface supports higher transmission bandwidth.
• Open standard compliance. Works seamlessly with the USB3 Vision protocol, the GenICam standard and third-party software built on them.
• Waterproof connection. PRO and MAX versions use a waterproof connector; IP67 is reached when correctly installed.
• Precision temperature control. PRO and MAX versions include a precision temperature control design for fast heat balance, which keeps measurement stable over long cycles.
• Automatic colour correction. Colour models of the PRO and MAX versions support auto colour correction based on multi-spectral fusion technology.

Where it is used

The global shutter sensor captures moving objects without distortion, making this camera well suited to in-line inspection. Its 8.9 MP resolution supports tasks where fine detail matters, such as high-resolution surface inspection, dimensional measurement, and PCB or electronic component inspection. A frame rate of up to 42 fps provides enough throughput for counting, positioning and quality checks on moderate-speed production lines. USB3 Vision compliance also makes it straightforward to integrate into single-camera setups such as lab benches and test stations.

Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, line speed and surface characteristics. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
