HIKROBOT MV-CS028-10UM — Area Scan Cameras
2.8 MP, Sony IMX421, USB3.0, Mono, 132.2 fps

The speed champion of this group is the MV-CS028-10UM: a monochrome USB3.0 camera delivering 132.2 fps at full 2.8 MP resolution (1936 × 1464). Its global-shutter 2/3-inch Sony IMX421 has 4.5 μm × 4.5 μm pixels and holds 43.6 dB SNR and 71.1 dB dynamic range even at that frame rate. In addition to the standard 9 μs to 10 sec exposure range it offers an UltraShort exposure mode from 1 μs to 5 μs, a combination designed to freeze fast motion within the small and medium resolution family of the CS series.
USB3.0 bandwidth is what carries the 132.2 fps stream; the link is backward compatible with USB2.0 and the camera is powered straight from USB3.0 (typ. 2.8 W at 5 VDC), with a 9 VDC to 24 VDC external input also provided. For synchronized capture the P7 connector dedicates the opto-isolated input (Line 0) to hardware triggering, the opto-isolated output (Line 1) to strobe or PLC feedback and Line 2 to bi-directional use. Gain, exposure, LUT, Gamma and contrast ratio can be set automatically or manually; the 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm, 80 g body mounts from four sides and carries USB3 Vision / GenICam compliance.

Key features
- Adopts brand new design to reduce power consumption.
- Supports auto or manual adjustment of gain, exposure time, LUT, Gamma correction, contrast ratio, etc.
- Compact design with mounting holes on panels for flexible mounting from 4 sides.
- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam Standard, and the third-party software based on the protocol and standard.
Where it is used
More than 132 frames per second points this camera at fast-moving product: cap and label position on bottle and can lines, imaging of dropped or ejected parts in flight, placement verification on high-speed pick-and-place heads, and motion analysis of vibrating or rotating mechanisms. UltraShort exposure down to 1 μs all but freezes motion under strong illumination, and the 2.8 MP resolution keeps small details from being lost even at that pace.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
