HIKROBOT MV-CU013-A0UC — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, 1/2″ CMOS, USB3.0, Color, 201.4 fps
The color variant on USB3.0, MV-CU013-A0UC, pairs a Bayer GB filter with the 1/2″ global-shutter CMOS (4.8 μm × 4.8 μm, 1280 × 1024) and streams up to 201.4 fps in Bayer GB 8. Exposure starts at 5 μs and gain runs to 16 dB, while SNR is 40 dB and dynamic range 53 dB. It fills the slot of a fast, inexpensive color camera in the CU family for hosts that can take a direct USB feed.
Raw Bayer GB frames in 8 to 12 bit (including packed variants) reach the host over USB3.0 with USB2.0 fallback; at 200 fps the bandwidth of USB3.0 is what makes full-resolution color streaming possible. The camera can be powered from the USB port (typical 1.81 W at 5 VDC) or from 9–24 VDC, and the 6-pin P7 connector provides Line 0 (opto-isolated in), Line 1 (opto-isolated out) and Line 2 (bidirectional) for synchronizing with lighting and machine signals. ROI cropping and horizontal/vertical mirroring are supported, the C-mount body is 29 × 29 × 30 mm and about 76 g, and USB3 Vision / GenICam compliance keeps it open to standard software.

Where it is used
High-speed color sorting is the obvious fit: rejecting off-color tablets, seeds, plastic flakes or fasteners on fast belts and chutes where 200 frames per second are needed to catch every item. Print inspection on narrow-web presses uses the color image to check register and ink coverage at press speed. It is equally at home on a benchtop test stand verifying LED or display colors, powered entirely from the PC’s USB port.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
