HIKROBOT MV-CS120-60UC V5 — Area Scan Cameras

Capturing 12 MP colour at 26.8 fps over USB 3.0, the MV-CS120-60UC V5 uses the Bayer BG filtered version of the 1/1.56-inch stacked BSI CMOS sensor. Its 2.0 μm pixels and 4096 × 3024 resolution read out with a rolling shutter; the camera produces YUV422, RGB 8 and BGR 8 in addition to raw Bayer BG 8/10/12, and applies white balance and Gamma correction automatically or manually. Exposure from 22 μs to 1.4 s and gain from 0 to 24 dB set the adjustment margin of the colour USB3 option in the CS series.

On the connection side USB 3.0 carries both the image stream and 5 VDC power (typically 1.6 W) and is compatible with USB 2.0 ports. For triggering and external power the 6-pin P7 connector provides a 9–24 VDC input, an opto-isolated input (Line 0), an opto-isolated output (Line 1) and a bi-directional non-isolated Line 2. The 29 × 29 × 30 mm, roughly 80 g C-mount body mounts from four faces, follows USB3 Vision and GenICam and operates between –30 °C and 60 °C.

Specifications

Key features

• Adopts brand new design to reduce power consumption.
• Supports auto or manual adjustment for gain, exposure time, white balance, LUT, and Gamma correction.
• 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

It targets fast benchtop stations that need colour and detail at once: checking coloured components and polarity marks on circuit boards, colour registration on packaging and label print, colour uniformity on plastic and composite parts. At 26.8 fps successive angles of a product on a rotary table can be captured quickly. The combination of stationary object and rolling shutter is also a good match for microscope and macro imaging benches.

Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
