HIKROBOT MV-CH120-10GM — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX304, GigE, Mono, 9.9 fps
The MV-CH120-10GM is the V4 release of the CH family’s 12 MP GigE monochrome camera, driving the Sony® IMX304 global-shutter sensor at 9.9 fps in 4096 × 3000 Mono 8 with 40 dB SNR and 70.4 dB dynamic range. The notable difference is in the body: at 29 × 29 × 42 mm it is among the smallest CH housings carrying the IMX304, and mounting holes on four faces allow flexible placement. LSC, Sequencer and passive transmission are built in, and UltraShort mode allows 2–14 μs exposure.
Gigabit Ethernet permits cabling up to 100 meters without a relay and PoE feeds the camera over that single cable; alternatively a 9–24 VDC input is used, with typical consumption of 2.9 W. The 6-pin P7 connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bi-directional line; hardware, software and free-run triggering are supported. The 100 g IP40 body operates from –10 °C to 50 °C, takes C-mount lenses and integrates with GigE Vision 2.0 / GenICam compliant software.

Where it is used
The small body and four-sided mounting open 12 MP applications where the camera sits inside tight machine enclosures or on robot wrists: precision measurement of stamped and machined parts, fine trace and solder inspection on electronic boards, and scratch search on glass and plastic surfaces. 9.9 fps suits stop-and-shoot stations and indexed lines, and single-cable PoE keeps the wiring simple.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
