Speed, applications and neighbours
Fast monochrome acquisition defines MV-CT0MU0016/G: its Stacked BSI CMOS sensor combines a global shutter, 1440 × 1080 px output and 249 fps in Mono 8. The 1/2.9 in sensor uses 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels, while USB 3.0 through a Type-C interface suits installations where the camera sits close to the processing host.
At 249 fps, the camera can record rapidly moving parts for presence checks, edge location and short-cycle inspection without the geometric skew associated with a rolling shutter. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled exposure align capture with a sensor or encoder event. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body fits restricted machine spaces, with IP40 protection for a suitably protected station.
Within this range, MV-CT0MU0020/G raises the image to 1624 × 1240 px but reduces full-frame speed to 180.1 fps. MV-CT1MG0016/G keeps 1440 × 1080 px monochrome capture and adds Gigabit Ethernet, PoE and IP67, though its listed rate is 180 fps. Select MV-CT0MU0016/G when 249 fps and a compact USB body take priority; use the GigE model for PoE and ingress protection.

FAQ
Which C-mount lenses are listed for MV-CT0MU0016/G imaging?
MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP are the listed C-mount choices. Both cover the camera's 1/2.9 in sensor; their 12 MP and 25 MP resolution classes are above the camera's 1440 × 1080 px output, so either can preserve the available sensor detail.
How is power and data connected to MV-CT0MU0016/G?
Image data uses the USB 3.0 Type-C interface, which is also compatible with USB 2.0. USB 3.0 can power the camera at a typical 1.4 W at 5 V DC. Where separate supply or I/O wiring is needed, the 8-pin M8 A-Code connection accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC and carries the listed lines.
What makes MV-CT0MU0016/G suitable for moving-part capture?
The CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, so the full frame is exposed together rather than scanned line by line. Full-resolution Mono 8 acquisition reaches 249 fps, and the exposure range starts at 23 µs. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled modes can tie exposure timing to the machine cycle.
Can MV-CT0MU0016/G trade image detail for lighter processing?
The camera supports 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 binning, with the same factors available for decimation. Mono output is provided in 8, 10, 10Packed, 12 and 12Packed formats. These choices let the vision pipeline balance spatial detail, data volume and pixel depth at the acquisition stage.
What environmental limits apply to MV-CT0MU0016/G installation?
The working range is –30 °C to 60 °C, and humidity is rated from 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. The housing is IP40 when the lens and wiring are installed correctly. Its 29 mm square front and approximate 72 g mass suit compact protected equipment.
