HIKROBOT MV-CB060-10UC-B — Area Scan Cameras
6 MP, Sony IMX178, USB3.0, Color, Bare Board (no lens mount), 60.9 fps
Sharing the same 32.5×32.5×1.6 mm dimensions and ~10 g weight as its mono bare-board sibling, this model uses the Sony® IMX178 sensor with a color Bayer filter and produces color images with broad pixel-format support (Bayer RG, YUV, RGB/BGR). It reaches 60.9 fps at 3072×2048. With no lens mount at all, the optical interface must be entirely customer-designed, and the board is integrated directly into the customer’s enclosure through the PCB mounting holes.
It is powered from the USB3.0 line; consumption is slightly higher than the mono version due to color processing (typ. 1.8 W @ 5 VDC). Two bi-directional I/O lines (Line 2, Line 5) support triggering scenarios, and the HDR function combines different exposure/gain settings for extended dynamic range. USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance enable integration with the MVS client and third-party software.

Where it is used
Its mount-free, ultra-thin (1.6 mm) design suits color imaging needs in compact OEM products (medical devices, analyzer stations, kiosks) where the camera is fully embedded into the device’s own optics. The color sensor is useful for product/label color differentiation and applications like produce sorting, where color is the deciding factor. HDR support reduces color and detail loss on glossy packaging or under mixed lighting.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
