HIKROBOT MV-CU200-20GC V2 — Area Scan Cameras
20 MP, AR2020, GigE, Color, 5.9 fps

The MV-CU200-20GC V2 is the color 20 MP GigE camera of the cost-effective CU family and runs on the AR2020 sensor. That sensor is a 1/1.8″ rolling-shutter CMOS with 1.4 μm pixels, giving 5120 × 3840 resolution, 5.9 fps in Bayer GR 8, 39 dB SNR and a 60 dB dynamic range. Exposure can be set anywhere from 53 μs to 10 sec and gain from 0 dB to 48 dB, a span that accommodates widely differing lighting conditions.
The camera uses 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet as its data path and also operates on 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet networks; GigE’s 100-meter reach without a repeater permits installations far from the control cabinet. Alongside the 9 VDC to 24 VDC input there is an optional PoE supply, with typical consumption of 2.0 W at 12 VDC. A single 6-pin P7 connector combines power with three I/O lines (opto-isolated input, opto-isolated output, bi-directional non-isolated line), and hardware trigger, software trigger and free run are all supported. C-mount, about 100 g, GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliant.

Where it is used
The high pixel count addresses setups where one camera must cover a wide surface yet still resolve small colored details: detecting tint defects on glass and ceramic surfaces, verifying print and color on pharmaceutical blisters and cartons, and grading grain patterns on wood and laminate panels. Since the frame rate is 5.9 fps, indexed stop-and-go stations and benchtop inspection rigs are the ideal environment. The long-exposure option also makes low-light imaging of static objects practical.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
