HIKROBOT MV-CT1MG0089/G/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

HIKROBOT MV-CT1MG0089/G/NN/NN is the GigE-interface PRO model in the third-generation CT series of area scan cameras. Featuring a 1″ optical format, its global shutter stacked BSI CMOS sensor with 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels delivers 4096 × 2160 resolution (8.9 MP) mono imaging, reaching up to 13.9 fps in standard mode and up to 32.5 fps with lossless compression enabled. A 67.2 dB dynamic range and 44.2 dB signal-to-noise ratio preserve image detail even under variable lighting conditions. Operating with a 0-12 dB gain range, the sensor offers an exposure time of 10-19 µs in ultra-short exposure mode and 20 µs to 10 s in standard exposure mode, giving flexibility across both very fast and low-light scenes. The global shutter architecture allows moving objects to be captured without distortion.

The camera communicates over a 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet interface, compatible with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet, through an 8-pin M12 X-Code waterproof connector. There is no separate control connector; control signals are handled over the data interface itself. Powered from 9-24 VDC with PoE support, it draws a typical 1.8 W at 12 VDC. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm housing weighs approximately 124 g. When the lens, enclosure and cables are correctly installed, the camera reaches IP67 protection and operates across an ambient temperature range of -30 °C to 60 °C. With a C-Mount lens interface, it complies with the GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam standards for straightforward integration with machine vision software. As a PRO-tier model, it also includes the waterproof M12 X-Code connector and precision temperature control associated with this class.

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.
• 100 metre cable reach. The Gigabit Ethernet interface transmits up to 100 metres without a relay; PoE allows power over a single cable.
• Open standard compliance. Works seamlessly with the GigE Vision V2.0 protocol, the GenICam standard and third-party software built on them.
• Waterproof connection. PRO and MAX versions use a fully waterproof M12 X-Code 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. (This model is mono; the feature applies to its colour counterpart.)

Where it is used

With frame rates up to 32.5 fps and an ultra-short exposure time as low as 10 µs, this camera suits high-speed counting, positioning and presence/absence inspection on production lines. Its 8.9 MP resolution and 1″ optical format support measurement and alignment tasks that require detail across a wide field of view. IP67 protection and an operating range of -30 °C to 60 °C support use on dusty, humid or temperature-variable manufacturing lines. The GigE interface also makes it a practical choice for in-line inspection setups where the camera must sit at a distance from the control unit.

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