Fast global-shutter inspection role
Global-shutter capture at 240.4 fps is the central reason to select MV-CU013-80UM. Its 1/2.7-inch CMOS sensor records 1280 × 1024 monochrome frames through USB 3.0, using 4.0 µm pixels and exposure from 30 µs to 1 sec. The camera trades spatial resolution for frame cadence and simultaneous exposure, fitting measurements where a target changes position rapidly.
The 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body suits conveyor tracking, fast mechanism observation, timing verification, and high-rate sorting near a processing host. Global shutter preserves the shape of moving parts, while the three P7 I/O channels can tie image timing to a part sensor, strobe, and machine output. USB 3.0 carries the stream, and the camera accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC with 1.7 W consumption at 5 V DC.
MV-CS004-10GM also uses global shutter but delivers 720 × 540 at 125.2 fps over Gigabit Ethernet. MV-CU060-10UM increases resolution to 3072 × 2048 at 59.6 fps through USB 3.0, changing to rolling shutter. MV-CH050-90XM-C-NN combines a higher 2592 × 2160 raster with 213 fps and global shutter, but requires a CoaXPress link instead of USB.

Selection and applications
High-rate conveyor tracking. Fast mechanism timing analysis. Global-shutter sorting inspection.
Minimum kit: The minimum setup is MV-CU013-80UM, a C-mount lens covering 1/2.7 inch, a USB 3.0 cable to the acquisition host, and a 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CS004-10GM — Prefer it for 125.2 fps global-shutter capture over Gigabit Ethernet at 720 × 540; MV-CU060-10UM — Prefer it for 3072 × 2048 Mono 8 USB images when 59.6 fps is sufficient; MV-CH050-90XM-C-NN — Prefer it for 2592 × 2160 global-shutter acquisition at 213 fps over CoaXPress.

FAQ
What motion advantage comes from 240.4 fps global shutter?
All sensor rows share the exposure timing, so moving geometry is not subject to rolling-shutter skew. The 240.4 fps maximum at 1280 × 1024 also samples rapid events closely, making the camera appropriate for conveyor tracking and mechanism analysis.
Which C-mount lens size matches the MV-CU013-80UM sensor?
The camera takes C-mount optics and has a 1/2.7-inch sensor with 4.0 µm pixels. Select a lens that covers that format, then choose focal length from the field of view and working distance required for the 1280 × 1024 inspection area.
What power input is needed for high-rate USB capture?
MV-CU013-80UM accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC. Listed consumption is 1.7 W at 5 V DC. The data path is USB3.0 with USB2.0 backward support, although the interface choice must account for the maximum 240.4 fps stream.
How are trigger and output timing connected on this model?
The 6-pin P7 connector carries one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output, and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. These lines let a machine trigger acquisition, time illumination, and exchange a further control signal with the camera.
What ambient limits apply during high-speed operation?
The working range is 0 °C to 50 °C and 20% to 80% RH. The housing is rated IP40, and storage is specified from -30 °C to 70 °C. Maintain a non-condensing, protected installation around the lens and USB connections.
