HIKROBOT MV-CU050-30GC — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, AR0521, GigE, Color, 24 fps
The MV-CU050-30GC is a 5 MP color camera that pairs the 1/2.5-inch AR0521 rolling-shutter CMOS sensor, giving 2592 × 1944 resolution, with a Gigabit Ethernet interface. It brings the CU series’ cost-effective approach to the 5 MP class with a 2.2 μm × 2.2 μm pixel, 37 dB SNR and 63 dB dynamic range at 24 fps full-frame. Exposure is adjustable from 21 μs to 1 second and gain from 0 to 15 dB.
PoE support allows data and power to share a single Ethernet cable; it also accepts 9–24 VDC externally, and typical consumption is a modest 1.81 W at 12 VDC. The GigE link reaches 100 meters without a repeater, while hardware trigger, software trigger and free-run modes use the 6-pin P7 connector’s opto-isolated input (Line 0), opto-isolated output (Line 1) and bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2). The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm, roughly 100 g C-mount housing is GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliant, and this model is listed with RoHS certification.

Where it is used
Five megapixels of color resolution let a single frame cover a wider area in detail, making it suitable for fill and color checks on multi-cavity packaging trays, on-carton print and label verification, and color-based grading of food products. Its 24 fps is sufficient where conveyor speed is moderate or the part pauses briefly at the station. Low power draw and PoE simplify cabling in multi-camera installations.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
