HIKROBOT MV-CH050-10CM — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Sony IMX250, Camera Link, Mono, 140 fps

The MV-CH050-10CM brings the Sony IMX250 global shutter CMOS sensor to a Camera Link interface as a monochrome CH-series camera, reaching 140 fps at 2432 × 2048. The 2/3″ sensor with 3.45 μm × 3.45 μm pixels delivers 40 dB SNR and 75.4 dB dynamic range, the latter exceeding the USB3.0 models built on the same sensor. Gain is adjustable from 0 to 20 dB and exposure from 15 μs to 10 s, with output in Mono 8/10/12.
The Camera Link connection with SDR interface supports Base, Medium, Full and 80-bit configuration modes, chosen to match the frame grabber and the frame rate required. Power and I/O share a single 6-pin P7 connector: one opto-isolated input (Line 0), one opto-isolated output (Line 1) and one bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2). The camera runs on 9–24 VDC with a typical draw of 3.3 W at 12 VDC; mounting holes on the 44 × 29 × 59 mm, roughly 100 g C-mount body allow flexible placement. Ingress protection is IP30 and the operating range is 0 °C to 50 °C, with Camera Link V2.0 and GenICam compatibility.

- Adopts compact design with mounting holes for flexible mounting.
Where it is used
5 MP monochrome imaging at 140 fps suits surface defect detection on fast lines, capture of fine detail in semiconductor and PCB inspection, and high-cadence dimensional measurement. The wide 75.4 dB dynamic range helps where bright metal surfaces and shaded regions must be evaluated in the same frame, as in weld seam or machined-part checks, and the Camera Link bandwidth allows full-resolution streaming without sacrificing frame rate.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
