HIKROBOT MV-CB020-60UM-B — Area Scan Cameras
2 MP, Stacked BSI, USB3.0, Mono, Bare Board, 179.9 fps

The MV-CB020-60UM-B is a 2 MP, USB3.0, monochrome, bare-board camera in the CB Series. Unlike the 12 MP models, it uses a global-shutter Stacked BSI sensor and reaches a very high 179.9 fps at 1624 × 1240 — the fastest model in this line-up. It has no lens mount (Lens mount: None); at just 10 g, this board has no housing at all and must be integrated, optics included, entirely into the customer’s own design.
Power and data run over a single USB 3.0 connection (typ. 1.5 W @ 5 VDC), also backward-compatible with USB 2.0. Two bi-directional non-isolated I/O lines (Line 2, Line 5) support high-speed triggering scenarios. The global shutter captures fast-moving objects without distortion even at 179.9 fps; USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance guarantee direct operation with the MVS client.

Key features
- Supports auto and manual adjustment for gain, exposure control, white balance, LUT, etc.
- Adopts image interpolation algorithm for color camera to have better color correction.
- Power supply and data transmission via USB3.0 interface.
- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam standard, and the third-party software based on these protocol and standard.
Where it is used
The combination of 179.9 fps and global shutter makes this model ideal for applications where fast-moving objects must be captured without distortion: presence/position checks on high-speed production lines, high-speed counting, and triggered inspection stations. The bare-board form factor is preferred for OEM projects that embed the camera into a compact high-speed trigger module.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
