HIKROBOT MV-CB060-10GC-S — Area Scan Cameras
6 MP, Sony IMX178, GigE, Color, M12-mount, 19.1 fps (30.7 fps in compression mode)

This 6-megapixel CB-series model uses the same Sony® IMX178 rolling-shutter sensor as its mono sibling but with a color Bayer filter, reaching 19.1 fps at 3072×2048 (30.7 fps in compression mode). With its GigE interface and M12 lens mount, it outputs color images and supports Bayer RG, YUV and RGB/BGR pixel formats. As a housing-free board-level camera, it must be mounted into the customer’s own enclosure through the PCB’s mounting holes.
The same 6-pin connector carries power and I/O (1 input, 1 output, 1 bi-directional line); it runs on 9–24 VDC or PoE, with a typical consumption of 2.6 W @ 12 VDC — slightly higher than the mono version due to color processing. The Gigabit Ethernet interface reaches 100 meters without a relay and is Fast Ethernet compatible. GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliance integrate it with compatible software and the MVS client, while noise reduction and compression preserve image quality.

Where it is used
The color sensor and its wide pixel-format support suit product/label color sorting, color-based quality checks and print inspection. GigE’s 100-meter cable reach makes it easy to place the camera far from the control cabinet along the production line. The moderate resolution combined with the higher frame rate in compression mode gives enough performance for color object counting and positioning on medium-speed lines.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
