HIKROBOT MV-CT2MG0200/R/16LC/WN — Area Scan Cameras

The HIKROBOT MV-CT2MG0200/R/16LC/WN is the GigE-interface MAX model in the third-generation CT series area scan camera family. Its 1″ Sony IMX183 rolling shutter CMOS sensor, with 2.4 µm × 2.4 µm pixels, delivers 5472 × 3648 (20.0 MP) mono images. Frame rate reaches 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 preserve detail under varying lighting conditions. Gain is adjustable from 0 to 24 dB, while exposure time ranges from 46 µs to 2.78 s, covering both fast and low-light scenes. The 20.0 MP resolution captures fine detail even across wide-area scenes.

The camera has a C-Mount lens interface, and this SKU ships with a 16 mm liquid lens and a white base light source. The data interface is Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s), compatible with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s), through an 8-pin M12 X-Code waterproof connector. Control is carried over the same type of 8-pin M12 X-Code waterproof connector. Power input is 9-24 VDC with PoE support, and typical power consumption is 1.9 W at 24 VDC. The compact 42 mm × 42 mm × 43 mm body weighs approximately 120 g. With the lens, enclosure and cables correctly installed, the camera reaches IP67 protection and operates from -30°C to 60°C. It complies with GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam standards.

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 20.0 MP resolution and frame rates up to 22.3 fps, this camera — supplied ready with its 16 mm lens and light source — suits high-resolution inline inspection and dimension/position measurement tasks that call for fast deployment. Its wide dynamic range maintains stable image quality under varying lighting conditions. IP67 protection and a wide -30°C to 60°C operating range support use in demanding environments.

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