HIKROBOT MV-CU013-80UM — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, SS, USB3.0, Mono, 240.4 fps

The MV-CU013-80UM is the 1.3 MP monochrome model built for speed on the USB3.0 side of the CU series: its 1/2.7″ SS global-shutter CMOS reaches 240.4 fps at 1280 × 1024 in Mono 8 — more than twice the rate of its GigE sibling with the same sensor. The 4.0 μm × 4.0 μm pixel delivers 38.7 dB SNR and 50.6 dB dynamic range, with gain from 0 to 20 dB and exposure from 30 μs to 1 s. At 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and approx. 77 g it is among the shortest and lightest members of the family.
Connection is over USB3.0, compatible with USB2.0, and it is this interface that carries the 240.4 fps stream. The camera can be powered directly from USB3.0 (typ. 1.7 W at 5 VDC) or from 9–24 VDC on the 6-pin P7 connector; the same connector provides an opto-isolated input (Line 0), an opto-isolated output (Line 1) and a bi-directional non-isolated I/O (Line 2), with hardware trigger, software trigger and free run supported. The C-mount body is rated IP40 (with proper lens and wiring), gain/exposure are adjustable automatically or manually and LUT and Gamma manually, and USB3 Vision plus GenICam compliance opens the door to third-party software based on those standards.

Where it is used
240.4 fps takes this camera where the GigE models cannot follow: capturing every product in its own frame on high-speed filling and labeling lines, watching part flow in vibratory feeders, analyzing fast mechanical motion such as pressing or cutting, recording brief events on a lab bench. The short USB cable and single-cable power make it a natural fit for compact stations near the PC and for portable test rigs, and the 1280 × 1024 monochrome frame still carries enough detail for code reading and edge detection at this rate.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
