Selection context and uses

High-rate colour capture at 1624 × 1240 separates this USB model from its network peer. MV-CT0CU0020/G places 1624 × 1240 px of colour data behind a global-shutter Stacked BSI CMOS sensor. It reaches 180.1 fps, uses 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels across a 1/2.53-inch format, and sends frames over USB 3.0 via the Type-C interface.

The global shutter and 180.1 fps ceiling support fast component sorting, colour-region checks and moving-part position inspection, with the full field exposed on the same timing basis. Exposure extends through 23 µs to 10 s. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled modes allow exposure to follow external timing. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm (1.1" × 1.1" × 1.2") body accepts C-mount optics. IP40 protection applies with proper lens installation and wiring, and the working range is –30 °C to 60 °C (–22 °F to 140 °F).

The adjacent choices span changes in output type, data path, pixel matrix and acquisition rate. MV-CT0CG0020/G uses Gigabit Ethernet for 1624 × 1240 px colour capture at 60.3 fps. MV-CT0MG0020/G uses Gigabit Ethernet for 1624 × 1240 px monochrome capture at 60.3 fps. MV-CT0CU0032/G provides 2048 × 1536 px at 104.8 fps with a global-shutter colour path over USB 3.0. Retain MV-CT0CU0020/G when Color output, Type-C USB 3.0 and USB power are needed together at 180.1 fps.

Selection and applications

Colour feature capture at 1624 × 1240 px. Triggered colour inspection with a global shutter. Full-frame acquisition up to 180.1 fps.

Minimum kit: Use MV-CT0CU0020/G with a C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 cable to the Type-C interface, and either USB bus power or 9 V DC to 24 V DC power through the 8-pin M8 A-Code connection.

Nearby in the range: MV-CT0CG0020/G — Prefer it for Gigabit Ethernet transport at 1624 × 1240 px and 60.3 fps.; MV-CT0MG0020/G — Prefer it for Mono output over Gigabit Ethernet at 1624 × 1240 px and 60.3 fps.; MV-CT0CU0032/G — Prefer it for 2048 × 1536 px, 104.8 fps and global-shutter colour capture..

FAQ

Which suggested lenses cover the sensor in MV-CT0CU0020/G?

For MV-CT0CU0020/G, the C-mount matches are MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Their image circles cover the 1/2.53-inch sensor, and the 12 MP and 25 MP lens classes are above the camera’s 1624 × 1240 px matrix. Both therefore match the stated mount, sensor coverage and resolution requirement.

How should power and cabling be arranged for MV-CT0CU0020/G?

The Type-C USB 3.0 connection supports bus power, while the camera also accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC. The 8-pin M8 A-Code connection provides power and I/O for externally powered wiring. Consumption is typically 1.6 W at 5 V DC (USB 3.0 provides power supply).

What data interface and peak acquisition rate does MV-CT0CU0020/G provide?

Data uses USB 3.0 through the Type-C interface and is compatible with USB 2.0. The stated full-frame ceiling is 180.1 fps at 1624 × 1240 Bayer GB 8. MVS and software meeting the USB3 Vision protocol are supported for acquisition.

How do shutter timing and exposure affect motion work with MV-CT0CU0020/G?

The CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, so all pixels share the exposure timing for moving-part capture. Full-frame rate is 180.1 fps, and the exposure range is 23 µs to 10 s. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled operation are available.

Which image-reduction and I/O functions are available on MV-CT0CU0020/G?

Binning and decimation each support 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 operation. Horizontal and vertical reverse-image output is available. The 8-pin M8 A-Code I/O provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line for sequencing.

What enclosure conditions and temperature range apply to MV-CT0CU0020/G?

Operation is rated from –30 °C to 60 °C (–22 °F to 140 °F), with 20% RH to 95% RH (no condensation). The housing is 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm (1.1" × 1.1" × 1.2") and weighs approximately 72 g (0.2 lb.). Its IP40 rating applies under proper lens installation and wiring, so the station must provide conditions consistent with that protection level.
