High-speed inspection and range position

Fast monochrome capture is the defining role of MV-CA013-21UM. Its PYTHON1300 CMOS sensor combines a 1280 × 1024 output, 4.8 µm pixels and global shutter operation with 210 fps at full resolution. USB 3.0 carries the image stream, while the 1/2-inch sensor and C-mount provide a compact optical format. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body weighs approximately 56 g.

The global shutter and 40 µs lower exposure limit support observation of moving parts without the geometric skew associated with sequential exposure. A full-resolution rate of 210 fps suits rapid presence, position and count checks when monochrome contrast is sufficient. The camera can draw 3 W at 5 V DC from USB 3.0, or use its listed 12 V DC input, and the 6-pin Hirose connection exposes trigger and strobe I/O.

MV-CA013-A0UM is the closest USB monochrome choice, running at 201 fps with a 9 µs minimum exposure and a 9–24 V DC input. MV-CA013-A0UC keeps that 201 fps USB format but records color. MV-CA013-A0GM reduces the rate to 92.8 fps and moves the link to Gigabit Ethernet with PoE. Select MV-CA013-21UM for the 210 fps PYTHON1300 configuration; select the others for their exposure, color or network differences.

Selection and applications

High-rate monochrome inspection of moving parts. Triggered position and presence checks. Rapid counting from 1280 × 1024 images.

Minimum kit: The minimum kit is an MV-CA013-21UM camera, a C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 cable, and either USB 3.0 bus power or a 12 V DC supply.

Nearby in the range: MV-CA013-A0UM — Choose it for monochrome USB capture at 201 fps with exposure beginning at 9 µs; MV-CA013-A0UC — Choose it when color capture is required at 1280 × 1024 and 201 fps; MV-CA013-A0GM — Choose it for 1280 × 1024 at 92.8 fps over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE.

FAQ

What does the 210 fps rating imply for moving-part inspection?

The camera delivers up to 210 fps at its full 1280 × 1024 resolution. Together with a global shutter and exposure settings beginning at 40 µs, this supports closely spaced observations of parts in motion while preserving their geometry for position, presence or count analysis.

Can the camera be powered directly through its USB 3.0 connection?

Yes. The power entry lists USB 3.0 bus power, with typical consumption of 3 W at 5 V DC. A 12 V DC supply is also supported through the 6-pin Hirose connection, which is the appropriate route when the installation also needs the camera's external I/O.

Which lens mount and sensor format govern optical selection?

MV-CA013-21UM uses a C-mount in front of a 1/2-inch sensor with 4.8 µm × 4.8 µm pixels. Select a C-mount lens whose image circle covers that sensor format and whose resolving performance is appropriate for the 1280 × 1024 output.

How are an external trigger and a strobe connected to this model?

The 6-pin Hirose connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O line. These lines permit a trigger source and a lighting controller to be integrated while the USB 3.0 connection transports image data.

When should MV-CA013-A0UM or MV-CA013-A0GM be considered instead?

MV-CA013-A0UM is a USB monochrome alternative at 201 fps with exposure from 9 µs, while MV-CA013-A0GM provides 92.8 fps over Gigabit Ethernet and supports PoE. The former changes the exposure and supply profile; the latter suits a networked camera layout.
