HIKROBOT MV-CU120-10GM V2 — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX226, GigE, Mono, 9.7 fps
From the CU GigE family, the MV-CU120-10GM V2 is a 12 MP monochrome camera built on the Sony® IMX226; its data sheet lists the interface as 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet compatibility. The 4024 × 3036 frame reads out at 9.7 fps in Mono 8, and the 34 μs–2 s exposure range together with 0–20 dB gain and a 70.5 dB dynamic range preserves detail where bright and dark regions share a scene. As it uses a rolling-shutter sensor, moving objects may show distortion, so the target should be held still.
The camera follows the GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam standards and works with third-party software built on them. A single 6-pin P7 connector carries both power and I/O: Line 0 is an opto-isolated input, Line 1 an opto-isolated output and Line 2 a bi-directional non-isolated line. With 9–24 VDC or optional PoE supply at a typical 1.78 W, a 29 × 29 × 42 mm body of about 100 g, a 0–50 °C operating range and a –30 to 80 °C storage rating, it slots easily into small enclosures and warm environments.

Where it is used
The high dynamic range paired with 12 MP monochrome resolution helps where lighting balance is difficult: reading engravings and marks on shiny metal parts, checking glass and transparent packaging, or scanning large trays and plates. The camera is meant for setups that capture while a robot presents and holds the part or an indexing table pauses; due to the rolling shutter it is not suited to products rushing past on a belt. Exposures up to 2 seconds allow imaging in dark environments without extra illumination.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
