HIKROBOT MV-CU016-10GM — Area Scan Cameras
1.6 MP, Sony IMX296, GigE, Mono, 65.8 fps
MV-CU016-10GM steps up to a Sony® IMX296 global-shutter CMOS: 1440 × 1080 pixels of 3.45 μm × 3.45 μm on a 1/2.9″ format, i.e. 1.6 MP over GigE in monochrome. The IMX296 raises the image-quality figures noticeably within the CU series — 41 dB SNR, 74 dB dynamic range and gain up to 24 dB — at 65.8 fps in Mono 8. A distinctive addition is the UltraShort exposure mode of 1 μs to 14 μs, alongside the standard 15 μs to 10 s range.
Gigabit Ethernet (Fast Ethernet compatible) links the camera over up to 100 m without a relay, with power from optional PoE or a 9–24 VDC feed on the 6-pin P7 connector; the same connector exposes Line 0 (opto-isolated input), Line 1 (opto-isolated output) and Line 2 (non-isolated bidirectional). Acquisition can be free-running or triggered by hardware or software, with automatic or manual gain and exposure. Typical consumption is 2 W at 12 VDC; the 29 × 29 × 42 mm, ~100 g C-mount housing carries an IP30 rating with lens installed, and the interface follows GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam.

Where it is used
The 74 dB dynamic range earns this camera scenes that mix bright reflections and deep shadow — polished metal parts, chrome fittings or glossy packaging — where a lower-range sensor would clip. UltraShort exposures of a few microseconds freeze very fast motion or work with intense strobes, useful for code reading on high-speed lines and for capturing snapshots of fast tooling motion. The finer 3.45 μm pixel and 1440 × 1080 grid also give more measurement detail for gauging and alignment than the 1.3 MP models.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
