Select between B 270 ASG protection glass and filter types: Jenofilt 217 IR cut filter, Hoya C-5000 IR cut filter, RG715 IR pass filter, or RG830 IR pass filter
Mako G-234 is a 2.35 megapixel GigE machine vision camera that incorporates the high quality Type 1/1.2 (13.4 mm diagonal) Sony IMX249 CMOS sensor. At full resolution, this camera runs 41.5 frames per second (10-bit sensor readout). With a smaller region of interest, higher frame rates are possible.The Mako G-234 is an ideal replacement for legacy CCD models.
Mako G cameras have the same ultra-compact form factor and the same mounting positions as many analog cameras. All models include Power over Ethernet, three opto-isolated outputs, and a 64 MB image buffer. The image quality profits from the precisely aligned sensor. By default monochrome models ship with no optical filter and color models ship with a Type Hoya C-5000 IR cut filter.
See the Modular Concept for lens mount and optical filter options.
See the Customization and OEM Solutions webpage for additional options.
Specifications
Imaging performance
Imaging performance data is based on the evaluation methods in the EMVA 1288 Release 3.1 standard for characterization of image sensors and cameras. Measurements are typical values for monochrome models measured at full resolution without optical filter. Contact Sales or AE for more information.
