HIKROBOT MV-CT1MG0200/R/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

HIKROBOT MV-CT1MG0200/R/NN/NN is the GigE-interface PRO model in the third-generation CT series of area scan cameras. With a 1″ optical format, its rolling shutter Sony IMX183 CMOS sensor, with 2.4 µm × 2.4 µm pixels, delivers 5472 × 3648 resolution (20.0 MP) mono imaging, reaching up to 5.9 fps in standard mode and up to 22.3 fps with lossless compression enabled. A 65.9 dB dynamic range and 41.3 dB signal-to-noise ratio help preserve detail in high-resolution images. Operating with a 0-24 dB gain range, the sensor offers a single exposure time range of 46 µs to 2.78 s, allowing adaptation to a variety of lighting conditions. Its high pixel count makes it a suitable choice for applications requiring detailed inspection over a wide field of view.

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 is handled over the data interface. Powered from 9-24 VDC with PoE support, it typically draws 1.9 W at 12 VDC. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm housing weighs approximately 124 g. With the lens, enclosure and cables correctly installed, it reaches IP67 protection and operates from -30 °C to 60 °C. Fitted with a C-Mount lens interface, it complies with GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam. As a PRO-tier model, it includes the waterproof M12 X-Code connector and precision temperature control of 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

Its 20.0 MP resolution suits high-resolution inspection and measurement tasks that require detecting fine detail across a wide area. Frame rates up to 22.3 fps provide adequate performance for moderate-speed in-line inspection tasks. The wide 0-24 dB gain range helps maintain image quality under variable lighting conditions. IP67 protection and an operating range of -30 °C to 60 °C support use in demanding manufacturing environments.

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