Camera Link coverage at 16384 pixels

A 16384 × 1 monochrome CMOS line over Camera Link defines MV-CL161-41CM. The single-row sensor uses 3.5 μm pixels and reaches 50 kHz at full line width through an SDR connector. This is a straightforward long-line configuration for moving-surface inspection when one sensor row, monochrome output and Camera Link transport match the acquisition architecture.

Power input spans 12 to 24 VDC and the camera consumes 7.2 W. The optical interface is M72*0.75, matching the thread used by several 16384-pixel models in the range. The IP40 housing measures 76 × 76 × 42.1 mm and operates from 0 to 55 °C. Its shallow body and single-line image mode keep mechanical and acquisition choices focused on lens coverage, Camera Link receiving hardware and the stated supply range.

MV-CL161-41CM offers the same 16384 × 1 monochrome resolution as MV-CL161-B1Y4M, but uses smaller 3.5 μm pixels, Camera Link and a 50 kHz ceiling; the CoaXPress-12 model uses 5 µm pixels and reaches 200 kHz. MV-CL162-91CM retains Camera Link and the same 3.5 µm pitch, adds a second row with 2-TDI, and reaches 71 kHz through binning or 120 kHz with a reduced ROI. MV-CL162-91F2M moves 16384 × 2 capture to 2LC fiber at 73.2 kHz.

Selection and applications

16384-pixel monochrome inspection. Single-line Camera Link acquisition. Full-width scanning at 50 kHz.

Minimum kit: Combine MV-CL161-41CM with an M72*0.75 lens covering its 16384-pixel line, an SDR Camera Link cable, and a separate 12 to 24 VDC power supply.

Nearby in the range: MV-CL161-B1Y4M — Prefer it for 16384 × 1 monochrome acquisition at up to 200 kHz over CoaXPress-12; MV-CL162-91CM — Prefer it when Camera Link capture also needs a second sensor row and 2-TDI; MV-CL162-91F2M — Prefer it when a 16384 × 2 monochrome line must use 2LC fiber.

FAQ

What acquisition format defines the MV-CL161-41CM camera?

It is a monochrome 16384 × 1 CMOS line-scan camera with 3.5 μm pixels. The only stated image mode is 1-line, maximum line rate is 50 kHz, and image data uses Camera Link.

Which host connection receives images from MV-CL161-41CM?

Image data is carried over Camera Link through an SDR connector. The receiving system therefore needs a matching Camera Link cable and acquisition interface for the 50 kHz line stream.

What supply capacity should be reserved for MV-CL161-41CM?

The camera accepts 12 to 24 VDC and its stated consumption is 7.2 W. These are the available electrical limits for sizing the separate power feed alongside the Camera Link path.

What lens mount is fitted to the MV-CL161-41CM body?

The optical thread is M72*0.75. A selected line-scan lens must fit that mount and cover the full 16384-pixel sensor line built at a 3.5 μm pixel pitch.

How does MV-CL161-41CM compare with MV-CL162-91CM?

Both use Camera Link, an M72*0.75 mount and 3.5 μm pixels. MV-CL161-41CM is 16384 × 1 at 50 kHz, while MV-CL162-91CM is 16384 × 2 with 2-TDI, binning and ROI modes.
