Operating role and neighbours

Detailed colour inspection at 80 fps is the practical centre of this USB configuration. At its centre, MV-CT0CU0050/G records 2448 × 2048 px colour frames at up to 80 fps. The Stacked BSI CMOS device has 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels on a 2/3-inch format and uses a global shutter. Transport is USB 3.0 through the Type-C interface.

The global shutter and 80 fps ceiling support detailed conveyor inspection, label checks and colour-based part separation, 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).

The 2448 × 2048 USB position is defined by its 80 fps ceiling and colour output. MV-CT0CG0050/G uses Gigabit Ethernet for 2448 × 2048 px colour capture at 24.5 fps. MV-CT0MG0050/G uses Gigabit Ethernet for 2448 × 2048 px monochrome capture at 24.5 fps. MV-CT0CU0060/R provides 3072 × 2048 px at 60.9 fps with a rolling-shutter colour path over USB 3.0. Retain MV-CT0CU0050/G when Color output, Type-C USB 3.0 and USB power are needed together at 80 fps.

Selection and applications

Colour feature capture at 2448 × 2048 px. Triggered colour inspection with a global shutter. Full-frame acquisition up to 80 fps.

Minimum kit: Use MV-CT0CU0050/G with a C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 cable to the Type-C interface, and either USB bus power or 9 V DC to 24 V DC power through the 8-pin M8 A-Code connection.

Nearby in the range: MV-CT0CG0050/G — Prefer it for Gigabit Ethernet transport at 2448 × 2048 px and 24.5 fps.; MV-CT0MG0050/G — Prefer it for Mono output over Gigabit Ethernet at 2448 × 2048 px and 24.5 fps.; MV-CT0CU0060/R — Prefer it for 3072 × 2048 px, 60.9 fps and rolling-shutter colour capture..

FAQ

Which suggested lenses cover the sensor in MV-CT0CU0050/G?

For MV-CT0CU0050/G, the C-mount matches are MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Their image circles cover the 2/3-inch sensor, and the 12 MP and 25 MP lens classes are above the camera’s 2448 × 2048 px matrix. Both therefore match the stated mount, sensor coverage and resolution requirement.

How should power and cabling be arranged for MV-CT0CU0050/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 1.7 W at 5 V DC (USB 3.0 provides power supply).

What data interface and peak acquisition rate does MV-CT0CU0050/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 80 fps at 2448 × 2048 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-CT0CU0050/G?

The CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, so all pixels share the exposure timing for moving-part capture. Full-frame rate is 80 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-CT0CU0050/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-CT0CU0050/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.
