Inspection tasks and range position
Three-megapixel-class colour imaging at 104.8 fps establishes this model’s role. MV-CT0CU0032/G combines a Stacked BSI CMOS sensor, global shutter, 2048 × 1536 px colour output and 104.8 fps. Its 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels occupy a 1/1.8-inch sensor, while USB 3.0 carries the image stream through the Type-C interface.
The global shutter and 104.8 fps ceiling support high-cadence assembly checks, colour classification and feature localisation, with the full field exposed on the same timing basis. Exposure extends through 30 µs to 10 s in High Full Well Capacity mode and 5 µs to 10 s in High Sensitivity mode. 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).
Neighbouring cameras show where this combination should be retained. MV-CT0CG0032/G uses Gigabit Ethernet for 2048 × 1536 px colour capture at 39 fps. MV-CT0MG0032/G uses Gigabit Ethernet for 2048 × 1536 px monochrome capture at 39 fps. MV-CT0CU0050/G provides 2448 × 2048 px at 80 fps with a global-shutter colour path over USB 3.0. Retain MV-CT0CU0032/G when Color output, Type-C USB 3.0 and USB power are needed together at 104.8 fps.

FAQ
Which suggested lenses cover the sensor in MV-CT0CU0032/G?
For MV-CT0CU0032/G, the C-mount matches are MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Their image circles cover the 1/1.8-inch sensor, and the 12 MP and 25 MP lens classes are above the camera’s 2048 × 1536 px matrix. Both therefore match the stated mount, sensor coverage and resolution requirement.
How should power and cabling be arranged for MV-CT0CU0032/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-CT0CU0032/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 104.8 fps at 2048 × 1536 Bayer GR 8. MVS and software meeting the USB3 Vision protocol are supported for acquisition.
How do shutter timing and exposure affect motion work with MV-CT0CU0032/G?
The CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, so all pixels share the exposure timing for moving-part capture. Full-frame rate is 104.8 fps, and the exposure range is 30 µs to 10 s in High Full Well Capacity mode and 5 µs to 10 s in High Sensitivity mode. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled operation are available.
Which image-reduction and I/O functions are available on MV-CT0CU0032/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-CT0CU0032/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.
