Applications and positioning
A 6 MP Sony sensor and USB throughput shape this rolling-shutter camera. The Sony IMX178 CMOS device in MV-CT0CU0060/R outputs 3072 × 2048 px in colour at 60.9 fps. A rolling shutter, 2.4 × 2.4 µm pixel pitch and 1/1.8-inch sensor format define the optical side; USB 3.0 on the Type-C interface defines the data side.
The rolling shutter directs MV-CT0CU0060/R toward indexed surface review, strobed colour capture and fine-part inspection, where the scene remains stationary during sensor readout. Exposure extends through 8 µs to 1 s. Rolling and Global Reset modes add two readout choices. 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).
Its closest neighbours separate output type, transport and image scale. MV-CT0CG0060/R uses Gigabit Ethernet for 3072 × 2048 px colour capture at 19.5 fps. MV-CT0MG0060/R uses Gigabit Ethernet for 3072 × 2048 px monochrome capture at 19.5 fps. MV-CT0CU0050/G provides 2448 × 2048 px at 80 fps with a global-shutter colour path over USB 3.0. Retain MV-CT0CU0060/R when Color output, Type-C USB 3.0 and USB power are needed together at 60.9 fps.

FAQ
Which suggested lenses cover the sensor in MV-CT0CU0060/R?
For MV-CT0CU0060/R, 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 3072 × 2048 px matrix. Both therefore match the stated mount, sensor coverage and resolution requirement.
How should power and cabling be arranged for MV-CT0CU0060/R?
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-CT0CU0060/R provide?
Data uses USB 3.0 through the Type-C interface and is compatible with USB 2.0. The stated full-frame ceiling is 60.9 fps at 3072 × 2048 Bayer RG 8. MVS and software meeting the USB3 Vision protocol are supported for acquisition.
How do shutter timing and exposure affect motion work with MV-CT0CU0060/R?
This is a rolling-shutter CMOS camera, so stationary or strobed scenes suit geometry-sensitive work. It reaches 60.9 fps, with exposure from 8 µs to 1 s. Rolling and Global Reset are supported. Exposure operation includes Off, Once and Continuous.
Which image-reduction and I/O functions are available on MV-CT0CU0060/R?
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-CT0CU0060/R?
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.
