HIKROBOT MV-CU013-A0GM — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, 1/2″ CMOS, GigE, Mono, 91.3 fps

The MV-CU013-A0GM is the 1.3 MP monochrome GigE member of HIKROBOT’s cost-effective CU series. Its 1/2″ global-shutter CMOS with 4.8 μm × 4.8 μm pixels delivers 1280 × 1024 frames at up to 91.3 fps in Mono 8, with a 40.6 dB SNR and 54 dB dynamic range. Exposure can be set anywhere from 10 μs to 10 s, and gain from 0 to 16 dB.
Image data travels over Gigabit Ethernet (Fast Ethernet compatible) for up to 100 m without a repeater, and the camera can be powered either via PoE or from 9–24 VDC through the 6-pin P7 connector, which also carries one opto-isolated input (Line 0), one opto-isolated output (Line 1) and a non-isolated bidirectional line (Line 2). Hardware trigger, software trigger and free-run modes are available, and gain, exposure, LUT and gamma can be tuned automatically or by hand. Typical draw is only 1.8 W at 12 VDC in a 29 × 29 × 42 mm C-mount housing of about 100 g; the unit is GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliant, so it works with third-party software built on those standards.

Where it is used
A 1.3 MP mono camera running above 90 fps is well matched to presence, position and orientation checks on packaging and assembly lines, where parts pass quickly and only shape or edge information is needed. The 4.8 μm pixels gather light efficiently, which helps in barcode and Data Matrix reading or OCR on labels under modest illumination. With PoE and a single cable run of up to 100 m it also fits distributed stations across a plant floor.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
