21MP cooled Global Shutter HighSpeed Camera USB3.0 and CXP Interface

The MaxCam-4521M-TE is a powerful 21-megapixel industrial camera for demanding image processing and scientific applications. Equipped with the highest resolution model GSPRINT4521-AVM sCMOS sensor, it combines high light sensitivity, excellent signal-to-noise ratio, and distortion-free image capture thanks to global shutter technology.

With its 1.86″ wide-format sensor design (5120 × 4096 pixels), and a pixel size of 4.5µm x 4.5µm the camera is particularly suitable for applications that require large fields of view with high detail accuracy.

Precise imaging without motion artifacts.

The integrated global shutter technology captures all pixels simultaneously, reliably preventing motion blur and smearing effects. This makes the MaxCam-4521M-TE the ideal solution for:

High-speed inspections
Inline quality control
Automated production processes
Moving objects in scientific test setups
Optimized for monochrome high performance

The monochrome sensor offers:

Spectral range from 300–1100 nm
62.8% quantum efficiency at 550 nm
Excellent light efficiency
High sensitivity with low noise

This makes the camera suitable for both visible light and near-infrared applications.
High data stability and flexible integration

The MaxCam-4521M-TE features powerful hardware architecture for industrial environments:

Dual interface: USB 3.0 and CoaXPress
1024 MB (8 Gb) integrated image memory
FPGA-based 2×2 hardware binning
8 / 10 / 12 bit data depth
Support for multi-camera synchronization

The large internal memory ensures stable data transfer even at high frame rates or for complex inspection tasks.

A version with TEC cooling is available for particularly low-noise long exposures or scientific applications. This enables a temperature difference of ≥ 40 °C for effective reduction of thermal noise.

Typical areas of application

Industrial image processing
Semiconductor and electronics inspection
Precision measurement technology
Life science and laboratory applications
Multi-camera systems

The MaxCam-4521M-TE combines high resolution, fast and distortion-free image capture, and robust industrial interfaces in a powerful camera system for professional vision applications.
