HIKROBOT MV-CU016-10GC V2 — Area Scan Cameras
1.6 MP, Sony IMX296, GigE, Color, 65.8 fps
Using the 3.45 μm pixels of the Sony IMX296 in a 1440 × 1080 array, the MV-CU016-10GC V2 is the 1.6 MP color GigE model of the CU series and one of the entry-level color options in the cost-effective family. Its global shutter architecture is paired with 65.8 fps in Bayer RG 8 and an UltraShort exposure mode spanning 1 μs to 14 μs. The visible difference from the standard model on the datasheet is the storage temperature range, stated as –30 °C to 80 °C.
The data interface is 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet, compatible with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet networks, and the manufacturer specifies transmission up to 100 meters without a relay. Power is 9–24 VDC with PoE as an option and a typical draw of 2 W at 12 VDC; the 6-pin P7 connector gives access to the Line 0 opto-isolated input, Line 1 opto-isolated output and Line 2 bi-directional I/O. Gain (0–24 dB) and exposure can be set automatically or manually, and GigE Vision V2.0 plus GenICam support allow direct connection to standards-based image processing software.

Where it is used
Verifying blister or cap color on pharmaceutical and cosmetics lines, grading food items by ripeness or shade, and color-coded orientation checks on small parts are scenarios that match this model’s balance of resolution and speed. The 1.6 MP resolution gives enough detail at stations that image a single product up close rather than a wide area. The 74 dB dynamic range is an advantage when glossy metallized packaging and matte surfaces appear in the same frame.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
