HIKROBOT MV-CT2CG0004/G/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

HIKROBOT MV-CT2CG0004/G/NN/NN is a color camera in the CT Series of GigE area scan cameras. Its 1/2.9″ stacked BSI global shutter CMOS sensor, with a 6.9 µm pixel size, captures images at 720 x 540 resolution and up to 200.5 frames per second. A 62.6 dB dynamic range and 43.9 dB signal-to-noise ratio keep detail intact under varying lighting conditions, while exposure times as short as 23 µs let fast-moving objects be captured without motion blur.

The GigE interface and 8-pin M12 X-Code waterproof connector give the camera a reliable link on the production floor, and when correctly installed, the IP67 rating allows operation in dusty or damp environments. As a MAX-series model, its lens and light source are integrated into the body, removing the need for a separate controller and its wiring. At 42 x 42 x 43 mm, around 120 g, and only 1.9 W at 24 VDC, the compact design suits tight installations, and GigE Vision / GenICam compliance lets it run directly with HIKROBOT MVS or any compatible third-party machine vision software.

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.

Where it is used

The global shutter sensor freezes moving objects without distortion, making this camera a natural fit for in-line inspection on production lines. Its high frame rate suits counting, positioning and presence/absence checks where the line cannot be slowed down. Color imaging is useful for packaging and label inspection or color-based sorting, where color information itself is the deciding factor. When correctly installed, the IP67 rating supports use in dusty or damp areas, and the compact body with integrated lens and light simplifies installation where mounting space is limited.

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