HIKROBOT MV-CU200-20GC — Area Scan Cameras
20 MP, AR2020, GigE, Color, 5.9 fps

Sitting in the 20 MP class of the CU series, the MV-CU200-20GC produces 5120 × 3840 color images from a 1/1.8″ AR2020 rolling-shutter CMOS. Despite 1.4 μm pixels it reaches 39 dB SNR, outputs Bayer GR 8 at 5.9 fps and offers a wide 0 dB to 48 dB gain range with exposure from 53 μs to 10 sec. This much pixel count in a cost-effective GigE body is meant for work where detail matters more than speed.
The 20 MP Bayer frames stream over Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s); the interface falls back to Fast Ethernet and allows 100 meters of cable without a repeater. Supply is 9 VDC to 24 VDC with PoE as an option, and typical consumption is 2.0 W at 12 VDC. Triggering is by hardware, software or free run using 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 roughly 100 g C-mount camera complies with GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam.

Where it is used
The 5120 × 3840 color array fits tasks that need a wide area captured in detail in one frame: large-format print and label inspection, verification of color-coded components on populated PCBs, and pattern or shade checks on textile and leather surfaces. With 5.9 fps and a rolling shutter, it delivers its best results at stations where the product is stopped or advancing slowly during capture. The wide gain range also helps on dimly lit document and archive scanning tables.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
