iRAYPLE AX5E07MG250E / AX5E07CG250E 50MP GigE Area Scan Camera
AX5E07MG250E
The AX5E07MG250E (mono) / AX5E07CG250E (colour) is a large-area-scan industrial camera built around a customized Gpixel ~50 MP global-shutter CMOS sensor with a 9344x5000 resolution, 3.2 um pixels and roughly a 29x16 mm optical format, delivering 2.6 fps over a 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet (GigE Vision / GenICam) interface. It uses an M58x0.75 lens mount to cover the large sensor and accepts power and I/O through a 12-pin Hirose connector at DC 24V. The camera includes 512 MB of onboard frame buffer for image resending, supports software/hardware/free-run triggering, ROI and mirroring, and is housed in a 72x72x64.8 mm body certified to CE, FCC, KC and RoHS.
The iRAYPLE AX5E07MG250E (monochrome) and AX5E07CG250E (colour) are built around a customized Gpixel global-shutter CMOS sensor delivering 9344 x 5000 px, roughly 50 MP (46.7 MP effective), across a large 29 x 16 mm optical format with 3.2 um square pixels. That combination is the whole point of this camera: the resolution gives you the spatial sampling to resolve very fine features over a wide field in a single capture, while the global shutter freezes the entire frame at once so there is no rolling-shutter skew on moving parts or indexed conveyors. The trade-off is throughput. The sensor runs at 2.6 fps at full resolution over its Gigabit Ethernet pipe, so this is a high-resolution detail camera, not a high-speed one. It belongs on stations where the part can be held still (or moved in a stop-and-go index) for a fraction of a second while a 50 MP frame is read out.
The interface is standard GigE Vision / GenICam over a 1000 Mbps RJ45 link, which keeps cabling cheap and makes the camera plug-compatible with essentially any GenICam-aware vision software. Because a single 50 MP frame is large and the link is only 1 Gbps, the camera includes 512 MB of onboard frame buffer for image resending, so dropped packets on a busy or marginal network can be recovered rather than lost. Triggering is flexible: software, hardware and free-run modes are supported, alongside ROI windowing and image mirroring. Power and I/O arrive together on a 12-pin Hirose connector at DC 24V, the common industrial control-cabinet voltage, which simplifies wiring the trigger and strobe lines to a PLC or lighting controller.
Optically, the large 29 x 16 mm sensor demands a large-format lens, and the camera uses an M58 x 0.75 mount rather than the C-mount you would find on smaller sensors; standard C-mount optics cannot cover this image circle. Lens selection is the critical design decision here because a 3.2 um pixel is small, so the lens must resolve well into the dozens of line-pairs per millimetre and be stopped appropriately to avoid both diffraction softening and corner fall-off across the wide field. Given the 2.6 fps ceiling and the need to expose a 50 MP frame cleanly, pairing the camera with bright, controllable illumination and triggered (strobed) lighting synchronized to the hardware trigger is strongly recommended, both to keep exposure times short enough to avoid motion blur during indexing and to deliver even brightness across the full 9344 px width. The 72 x 72 x 64.8 mm body is certified to CE, FCC, KC and RoHS for industrial deployment.
Best for
Single-frame high-resolution surface and defect inspection of large parts (panels, sheets, displays, PCBs) where you need to resolve fine flaws across a wide field without stitching multiple cameras
Precision dimensional measurement and gauging on stop-and-go index stations, where the global shutter guarantees geometrically accurate, skew-free frames of stationary parts
Electronics and semiconductor inspection (wafers, substrates, fine-pitch assemblies) that benefit from 50 MP detail and the monochrome MG variant's full per-pixel resolution
Industrial OCR/OCV and traceability code reading on large or densely-printed media, where high pixel count lets one camera cover the whole label or print web
Print and packaging quality control where the colour CG variant captures registration, colour and content across a wide web in one shot
Selection notes
Budget for the throughput limit: 2.6 fps at full 50 MP over 1 Gbps GigE means cycle times of roughly a third of a second or more per frame, so this camera suits stop-and-go or held-still parts, not continuous high-rate lines; use ROI windowing to raise the effective frame rate when you do not need the full sensor.
Plan the optics around the M58 x 0.75 mount and the 29 x 16 mm format. C-mount lenses will not cover this sensor; you need large-format optics that resolve the 3.2 um pixel pitch and hold sharpness into the corners across 9344 x 5000 px.
Engineer the network: a single 50 MP frame is large for a 1 Gbps link, so use a dedicated GigE NIC with jumbo frames and a quality shielded Ethernet run, and rely on the 512 MB onboard buffer plus image resending to ride out marginal links.
Choose MG (mono) versus CG (colour) deliberately. The monochrome AX5E07MG250E gives full resolution and best sensitivity for measurement and defect work; the colour AX5E07CG250E is for tasks where colour/print content matters, at the usual Bayer resolution and light penalty.
Provision 24V DC and wire trigger/strobe through the 12-pin Hirose connector; pair with a bright, triggerable light and synchronize strobe to the hardware trigger to keep exposures short and even across the wide field.

Follow these steps to bring up your iRAYPLE camera, capture a first image, and move from the viewer to your own application. The flow is the same across the A, AE, AX and L series; only the physical interface differs.
Download and install the iRAYPLE machine-vision SDK together with its viewer client for your operating system. The installer provides the camera drivers, the GenTL producer, and the viewer you will use for first light. For GigE Vision models, also install or enable the bundled filter/performance driver on the network adapter to maximize throughput.
2. Connect the camera to the correct interface
Wire the camera to its matching host interface: a dedicated Gigabit (or 10 GigE) NIC for GigE Vision models, a USB3 Vision port with a quality cable for USB3 models, or a frame grabber for CoaXPress models. Power the camera (PoE, USB bus power, or PoCXP / external supply as applicable). For GigE Vision, put the NIC and camera on the same subnet and, where supported, enable jumbo frames.
3. Detect and open the camera in the viewer
Launch the iRAYPLE viewer, run device enumeration, and select your camera from the discovered list. Open it to load the device feature tree (GenICam node map). If a GigE camera is found but cannot be opened, correct the IP configuration so the camera and NIC are in the same address range.
4. Set exposure, gain and trigger, then grab a first image
Start with continuous (free-run) acquisition under stable lighting. Adjust exposure time and gain for a well-exposed, low-noise image, set the pixel format (e.g. Mono8 or a Bayer/RGB format), and tune white balance on color models. Once the live image looks correct, switch trigger mode to hardware or software trigger to synchronize capture with your process, and verify a single triggered frame.
5. Move from the viewer to the SDK or a GenICam library
With imaging confirmed, reproduce the same settings in code using the SDK's C/C++ or Python API: enumerate, open, configure the relevant GenICam features, register a frame callback or grab loop, and convert frames to your pipeline's buffer format. Since the cameras are GenICam/GenTL-compliant, you can alternatively drive them from a third-party GenICam vision library. From here a stable image stream can feed a deep-learning inspection step such as Rosepetal for automated quality control.
Frequently asked questions
It captures 9344 x 5000 px, about 50 MP (46.7 MP effective), at 2.6 fps at full resolution. It is a high-resolution detail camera rather than a high-speed one; using a smaller ROI can increase the effective frame rate.
It uses a global shutter on a customized Gpixel CMOS sensor, so the entire 50 MP frame is exposed at once. That eliminates rolling-shutter skew and gives geometrically accurate frames, which is important for dimensional measurement and for parts indexed on a conveyor.
The camera has an M58 x 0.75 mount to cover its large 29 x 16 mm CMOS sensor. Standard C-mount lenses cannot cover this image circle, so you need large-format optics that also resolve the 3.2 um pixel pitch.
It connects over Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps, RJ45) using GigE Vision and GenICam, so it works with standard GenICam-compatible software. Power and I/O share a 12-pin Hirose connector at DC 24V, and 512 MB of onboard buffer supports image resending over the GigE link.
Yes. The AX5E07MG250E is monochrome (MG) and the AX5E07CG250E is colour (CG). Both share the same 9344 x 5000 sensor, 2.6 fps speed, GigE interface and M58 mount; choose mono for maximum resolution and sensitivity, or colour when print and colour content matter.
