Hikrobot MV-CI013-GS-TF

TEC-cooled GigE SWIR imaging

TEC cooling differentiates MV-CI013-GS-TF within the 1.3 MP GigE SWIR group. Its Sony® IMX990 InGaAs sensor produces 1280 × 1024 images with 5 × 5 µm pixels across 0.4 µm to 1.7 µm, at up to 91 fps. The data interface is Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s with Fast Ethernet compatibility, and optics attach through a C-mount.

Short-exposure spectral inspection can use the 3 µs to 7 µs UltraShort range, while Standard mode extends from 8 µs to 0.1 sec. Dynamic range is 56 dB and gain is adjustable from 0 dB to 18 dB. Trigger integration is carried on a 12-pin P10 connection with one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output, one bidirectional non-isolated I/O, and one RS-232 interface. Supply is 9 VDC to 24 VDC.

The TF package measures 58 × 58 × 82 mm, weighs approximately 470 g, and typically consumes 11.7 W at 12 VDC with TEC enabled. MV-CI013-GS-NN provides the same resolution and frame rate in an uncooled 29 × 29 × 42 mm PoE body. MV-CI013-GS-TH retains the 12-pin P10 and 11.7 W TEC-enabled profile but is 58 × 94 × 82 mm and approximately 750 g. Choose TF for the cooled square-section housing without the TH variant's additional body height.

Selection and applications

TEC-cooled visible-to-SWIR inspection. Short-exposure spectral acquisition. RS-232-integrated GigE imaging.

Minimum kit: Pair MV-CI013-GS-TF with a C-mount lens covering the 1/2-inch sensor and selected 0.4 µm to 1.7 µm band, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, a 12-pin P10 cable, and a 9 VDC to 24 VDC supply sized for 11.7 W at 12 VDC.

Nearby in the range: MV-CI013-GS-NN — Prefer it for uncooled 29 × 29 × 42 mm operation with PoE and 2.7 W typical consumption; MV-CI013-GS-TH — Prefer it when the 58 × 94 × 82 mm body and storage to 80 °C are required; MV-CI050-Y1S-NN — Prefer it when 5.3 MP resolution and 120 fps require a CoaXPress connection.

FAQ

What does TEC cooling change in the MV-CI013-GS-TF configuration?

This variant is explicitly listed with TEC cooling. Its typical consumption is 11.7 W at 12 VDC with TEC enabled, compared with 2.7 W at 12 VDC for the uncooled MV-CI013-GS-NN. The TF body is also larger at 58 × 58 × 82 mm.

Which sensor, resolution, and spectral range are used in the TF model?

MV-CI013-GS-TF uses a Sony® IMX990 InGaAs sensor with 1280 × 1024 resolution on a 1/2-inch format. Pixel size is 5 × 5 µm and spectral response spans 0.4 µm to 1.7 µm, matching its 1.3 MP GigE SWIR product class.

How should a lens be matched to this cooled SWIR camera?

Choose a C-mount lens covering the 1/2-inch sensor, with transmission over the portion of 0.4 µm to 1.7 µm used by the inspection. Optical resolution should suit the 5 × 5 µm pixels. Verify coverage and resolved contrast across the 1280 × 1024 image at the selected wavelengths.

What cabling and I/O are available on the TF variant?

Image data uses Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s and remains compatible with Fast Ethernet at 100 Mbit/s. The 12-pin P10 connection carries power and I/O: one isolated input, one isolated output, one bidirectional non-isolated line, and one RS-232 interface.

Can MV-CI013-GS-TF capture rapidly moving inspection targets?

The camera reaches 91 fps at 1280 × 1024. UltraShort exposure runs from 3 µs to 7 µs, giving a short integration window when illumination supports it; Standard mode spans 8 µs to 0.1 sec. Motion performance should be set from speed, light, and required signal.

What are the environmental limits for the TEC-cooled enclosure?

Working temperature is –30 °C to 50 °C and storage is –30 °C to 70 °C. The enclosure is IP40 with proper lens installation and wiring. Humidity is specified from 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation.
