Fiber-linked 4K color inspection

An LC fiber connection and 4096 × 2 color CMOS array make MV-CL042-91FC the fiber-linked 4K color member of this group. The 7 × 7 µm pixels reach 98 kHz with RGB 8/BGR 8 and 100 kHz with Mono 8/10/12, Bayer RG 8/10/12 or Bayer RBGG 8. A reduced region of interest can also run at 100 kHz, while exposure is adjustable from 3 µs to 10 ms.

Color web, print and material inspection can use the 4096-sample line to distinguish both position and chromatic differences as the target moves past the sensor. The camera supports 1-Line scanning, five gain selections from 1.0× to 3.2×, and four configurable I/O lines on the 12-pin P10 power/I/O connector. Single-ended and differential signaling allow the timing circuit to match the machine controller.

MV-CL042-91CC offers the same 4096 × 2 color geometry through Camera Link and reaches up to 100 kHz according to its link configuration. MV-CL042-91FM retains the LC fiber connector but changes to mono, adding 2-TDI and a 195 kHz 1-Line ceiling. MV-CL042-B1NC is a smaller 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm color alternative using C-mount optics and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, with 75.4 kHz at full-resolution Bayer BRGG 8.

Selection and applications

4K color inspection over fiber. RGB line capture at 98 kHz. Bayer web and print scanning.

Minimum kit: Combine the MV-CL042-91FC camera with an M42*1.0 line-scan lens or adapted F-mount lens, an LC fiber cable and receiver, and a 12 V DC to 24 V DC supply through the 12-pin P10 connection.

Nearby in the range: MV-CL042-91CC — Prefer it for 4096 × 2 color acquisition through Camera Link; MV-CL042-91FM — Prefer it for mono fiber capture with 2-TDI and 195 kHz 1-Line operation; MV-CL042-B1NC — Prefer it for C-mount color imaging over 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet.

FAQ

Which formats reach the highest line rate on MV-CL042-91FC?

Mono 8/10/12, Bayer RG 8/10/12 and Bayer RBGG 8 are listed at 100 kHz in standard mode. RGB 8 and BGR 8 reach 98 kHz, and operation after a reduced region of interest can reach 100 kHz.

What optical mounting arrangement does MV-CL042-91FC use?

The native mount is M42*1.0 with a 12 mm flange back length. An F-mount lens may be installed through an adapter; the selected line-scan optic must cover the 4096 × 2 color array and resolve its 7 × 7 µm pixels.

How are power, timing and fiber data connected to MV-CL042-91FC?

Image transfer uses the LC fiber connector. The 12-pin P10 connector provides power and four configurable I/O lines, supporting single-ended or differential signals. Supply voltage is 12 V DC to 24 V DC and typical consumption is 9 W at 12 V DC.

What production environment is permitted for MV-CL042-91FC?

The working range is -20 °C to 55 °C at 5% RH to 90% RH without condensation; storage spans -30 °C to 80 °C. IP40 applies with proper lens installation and wiring, so the camera still needs protection from liquids and substantial dust.

Why select MV-CL042-91FC rather than the mono MV-CL042-91FM?

MV-CL042-91FC records color on a 4096 × 2 array and reaches 98 kHz for RGB 8/BGR 8. MV-CL042-91FM is mono, supports 1-Line and 2-TDI, and reaches 195 kHz in 1-Line or 100 kHz in 2-TDI.
