HIKROBOT MV-CT2MU0089/G/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

The HIKROBOT MV-CT2MU0089/G/NN/NN is a mono model in the MAX version of the CT series USB3.0 area scan camera family. Its 4096 × 2160 resolution allows fine details to be distinguished across a wide field of view, while a frame rate of up to 42.0 fps allows images to be captured clearly on medium-to-high-speed lines. The 3rd generation BSI sensor design aims to provide balanced image quality under different lighting conditions. This combination offers balanced performance for machine vision applications that require both high resolution and a certain operating speed.

As a MAX version, the lens and light source are integrated into the camera body; focusing and illumination can be managed directly from the camera without a separate controller or extra cabling, which simplifies installation. The USB 3.0 interface carries both data and power over a single cable. CT series USB3.0 models are designed to work with HIKROBOT MVS software as well as third-party, GenICam-based machine vision software. Waterproof connector structures may also be available on the PRO and MAX versions of the CT series.

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. (This model is mono; the feature applies to its colour counterpart.)

Where it is used

The 4096 × 2160 resolution provides sufficient detail for applications where small defects and fine pattern differences must be distinguished on large-surface parts. A frame rate of up to 42.0 fps helps prevent the image from lagging in counting, positioning, and surface inspection tasks on medium-to-high-speed lines. Together, these characteristics make the camera a suitable choice for image-based quality control, wide-area scanning, and general machine vision applications on the production line.

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