HIKROBOT MV-CB020-60UC-C — Area Scan Cameras
2 MP, Stacked BSI CMOS, USB3.0, Color, C-mount, 179.9 fps

The MV-CB020-60UC-C is a color, C-mount camera in the USB3.0 board-level branch of the CB Series. Its Stacked BSI CMOS global-shutter sensor reaches up to 179.9 fps at 1624×1240 resolution, with 3.45 μm pixels, a 1/2.53″ optical format, 44.1 dB SNR and 68.6 dB dynamic range. For color capture it supports Bayer GB 8/10/10Packed/12/12Packed, YUV422Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, RGB 8 and BGR 8 pixel formats, and its color image-interpolation algorithm is applied for better color correction. Carrying both a C-mount and color output distinguishes it from the lens-less UC-B and the mono UM-C on this sheet; it weighs approximately 30 g.
USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) delivers both data and power over a single cable, typically drawing 1.6 W at 5 VDC. Two bidirectional, non-isolated digital I/O lines (Line 2, Line 5) are available for trigger and control, and gain (0–24 dB), exposure (23 μs–10 sec) and white balance can be adjusted automatically or manually. The C-mount accepts standard industrial lenses, and compliance with USB3 Vision and GenICam means it works directly with the MVS client and other GenICam-based third-party software.

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
Combining color output with a swappable C-mount lens suits applications needing both — color-based sorting, print or label quality inspection, and general appearance checks on packaging lines where the working distance or field of view may change between stations. The C-mount’s lens flexibility, together with speeds up to 179.9 fps, lets the same camera platform be redeployed across stations that need different optics.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
