iRAYPLE A7230CU000E

A7230CU000E

The iRAYPLE A7230CU000E is a compact (29x29x29 mm) USB3.0 area scan camera from the iRAYPLE A series, using a 1/2.3" Sony IMX392 Pregius global-shutter CMOS sensor with a 1920x1200 (2.3 MP) resolution and 3.45 um pixels, delivering frame rates up to 167 fps. It connects over a USB3.0 interface (5 Gbps theoretical bandwidth) and is compliant with the USB3 Vision protocol and GenICam standard, with power supplied directly over the USB connection. The camera includes a 128 MB on-board cache for buffering and image resend, and supports software/hardware trigger and free-run modes plus an ISP pipeline (sharpness, denoising, gamma, LUT, black-level correction, white balance, color conversion). It is a colour ("C" / U = USB3.0) variant in the A7230 family aimed at machine-vision tasks in EV battery, 3C electronics, semiconductor and pharmaceutical inspection.

Technical overview

The iRAYPLE A7230CU000E pairs a 1/2.3-inch Sony IMX392 Pregius CMOS with a true global shutter, and that combination is the heart of how you should think about it. Global shutter means every pixel in the 1920 x 1200 (2.3 MP) frame is exposed at the same instant, so parts moving on a conveyor or rotating under the lens are captured without the skew and smear a rolling shutter would introduce. At 3.45 um pixels the sensor sits in the comfortable middle ground for industrial work: small enough to keep the camera body compact (a 29 x 29 x 29 mm cube) yet large enough to hold good light sensitivity, which matters when you start cutting exposure time to freeze motion. The 167 fps ceiling is what lands this in the high-speed camera category, so the practical takeaway for an installer is that you are buying headroom to either inspect fast-indexing lines or to capture multiple frames per part for averaging and multi-angle checks.

On the connectivity side this is a USB3.0 (5 Gbps theoretical bandwidth) camera compliant with USB3 Vision and GenICam, and it draws its power directly over that same USB cable, so there is no separate power supply or PoE injector to wire up. That single-cable simplicity is a real advantage for benchtop rigs, compact machines, and anywhere a controller PC sits within a USB3 cable run of the camera; the trade-off versus GigE or CoaxPress is the shorter passive cable reach of USB3, so you plan the camera position around the PC rather than running long cable to a remote frame grabber. To help sustain 167 fps over USB3 the camera carries a 128 MB on-board cache that buffers frames and handles image resend, which smooths over momentary bus contention and helps avoid dropped frames when the host is busy. GenICam and USB3 Vision compliance means it drops into standard machine-vision software stacks and viewers without a proprietary driver layer, which shortens integration time.

Because this is a colour variant, treat it as the right choice when the inspection depends on hue: print and label colour verification, coloured component presence, or chromatic defect classification. The ISP pipeline is built in (sharpness, denoising, gamma, LUT, black-level correction, white balance and colour conversion), so a degree of image conditioning can happen in the camera before data reaches the PC. Optically it is a standard C-mount, which gives you a wide catalogue of industrial lenses; you size the lens from the 2.3 MP resolution and the small 1/2.3-inch sensor format so the lens both covers the format and resolves to the 3.45 um pixel. Global shutter also makes this camera a clean partner for strobed or pulsed lighting and external triggering: the camera supports software trigger, hardware trigger and free-run modes, so it can be slaved to an encoder or PLC signal and fired in sync with a flash to freeze a part precisely at the inspection station.

Best for

  • High-speed inline inspection on fast-indexing conveyors where global shutter is required to freeze moving parts without distortion
  • Colour-dependent verification such as label, print, and packaging colour checks in packaging and 3C electronics lines
  • Dimensional and measurement tasks on small to mid-size parts using the 2.3 MP frame with a matched C-mount lens
  • Compact or space-constrained machines and benchtop rigs where the 29 mm cube body and single USB3.0 power-and-data cable simplify integration
  • Surface and defect inspection in EV battery, semiconductor, and pharmaceutical assemblies where repeatable, triggerable capture is needed

Selection notes

  • Plan the cable layout around USB3.0 passive reach: the camera is USB-powered and needs the host PC within a standard USB3 cable run, so it suits machines where the controller sits near the camera rather than remote frame-grabber topologies
  • Match the lens to a 1/2.3-inch format and 3.45 um pixel pitch; pick a C-mount lens that covers the sensor and resolves at 2.3 MP so the optics do not bottleneck the sensor
  • Confirm host bandwidth and CPU headroom for 167 fps over USB3 (5 Gbps theoretical); the 128 MB on-board cache buffers and resends frames, but a sustained high-frame-rate stream still demands a capable USB3 controller and disciplined ROI use if full speed is needed
  • Use the hardware trigger input to synchronise capture with an encoder, PLC, or strobe; global shutter plus external trigger is the configuration that gives jitter-free, repeatable images of moving product
  • This is the colour USB3.0 variant (the 'C' denotes colour and the 'U' the USB3.0 interface), so choose it only when hue matters; for pure monochrome contrast, edge, or low-light tasks a monochrome version of the sensor would typically give higher effective sensitivity
