HIKROBOT MV-CT2MU0120/G/NN/NN — Area Scan Cameras

The HIKROBOT MV-CT2MU0120/G/NN/NN is a mono model belonging to the MAX version of the CT series USB3.0 area scan camera family. With a 4096 × 3000 resolution, fine details on the line can be clearly imaged, while a frame rate of up to 31.0 fps allows images to be captured without lag on medium-speed production lines. The 3rd generation BSI sensor design targets balanced image quality under variable lighting conditions. This combination offers balanced performance for image processing applications requiring high resolution and where mono imaging is sufficient.

Being a MAX version, the lens and light source come integrated with the camera body; focusing and illumination can be controlled from the camera itself without a separate controller or additional cabling, simplifying the setup process. The USB 3.0 interface allows both data and power to be delivered over a single cable. CT series USB3.0 models are designed to work with HIKROBOT MVS software as well as GenICam-based third-party 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 × 3000 resolution provides sufficient detail for applications where small defects and fine measurement points must be distinguished on large-surface parts. A frame rate of up to 31.0 fps helps prevent the image from lagging in positioning, counting, and surface inspection tasks on medium-speed lines. Together, these characteristics offer a suitable option for image-based quality control 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.
