HIKROBOT MV-CS060-10GM — Area Scan Cameras
6 MP, Sony IMX178, GigE, Mono, 19.1 fps

The MV-CS060-10GM is the entry-level (Basic) monochrome GigE member of the 6 MP class within the CS series small and medium resolution family. Its 1/1.8″ Sony® IMX178 rolling shutter CMOS sensor delivers 3072 × 2048 pixels at a 2.4 μm pitch and runs at 19.1 fps at full resolution. With a 41.3 dB SNR, 71.5 dB dynamic range and an exposure window from 25 μs to 2.5 seconds, it produces balanced images in both bright and dim scenes.
The Gigabit Ethernet interface is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and allows cable runs of up to 100 meters without a repeater; PoE support lets power and data share a single cable. The 6-pin Hirose connector carries one opto-isolated input (Line 0), one opto-isolated output (Line 1) and one bi-directional non-isolated I/O (Line 2), and typical consumption on a 9–24 VDC supply is 2.4 W. The 29 × 29 × 42 mm, roughly 100 g C-mount housing comes with mounting holes on four sides, and GigE Vision V2.0 / GenICam compliance means it works directly with third-party software built on those standards.

Where it is used
The 3072 × 2048 resolution and 2.4 μm pixels give enough detail for surface defect detection on medium-sized parts, component presence and orientation checks on printed circuit boards, and reading small characters (OCR) on labels. Monochrome output improves light efficiency in contrast-based measurement and edge detection, and 19.1 fps suits assembly and packaging lines running at moderate pace. The wide exposure range and 71.5 dB dynamic range are an advantage on reflective metal surfaces and in stations with mixed lighting.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
