Mako U-029B with CMOS ON Semi PYTHON 300 sensor

Mako U-029B is a monochrome USB3 Vision camera with the ON Semiconductor PYTHON 300 CMOS sensor. All Mako USB cameras have the same compact housing with a form factor of 49.5 x 29 x 29 mm. Screw locks ensure a safe electrical connection even in harsh industrial environments.


Every model is powered over the USB interface and has opto-isolated I/Os. The GPIOs give Mako U maximum flexibility to adapt to specific needs. The two non-isolated GPIO lines are TTL-based and programmable as input or output.

 

Options:

  • Various IR cut/pass filters, protection glass, various lens mounts
