HIKROBOT MV-CE120-10UM — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX226, USB3.0, Mono, 31.9 fps

The MV-CE120-10UM is a 12 MP mono camera in HIKROBOT’s CE Series of economical USB3.0 area-scan cameras. Built around a 1/1.7″ Sony IMX226 CMOS rolling-shutter sensor with 1.85 μm pixels, it delivers 4000×3036 resolution at up to 31.9 fps, with 40.5 dB SNR and 70.5 dB dynamic range. HIKROBOT currently lists this model under ‘Delisting Preparation’ status in its catalog.
The camera offers a USB2.0-backward-compatible USB3.0 interface, powered either externally (9–24 VDC) or over the USB3.0 cable (typ. 3.18 W). A 6-pin Hirose connector provides 1 opto-isolated input, 1 opto-isolated output and 1 bi-directional non-isolated I/O line, supporting hardware trigger, software trigger and free-run mode. With a C-mount lens interface and a compact 29×29×30 mm, 80 g housing, it is compliant with USB3 Vision and GenICam, and therefore compatible with the MVS client and third-party machine-vision software.

Where it is used
With its 12 MP resolution and 1.85 μm pixel size, this model suits detail-critical mono imaging tasks such as PCB/electronics inspection, print and label quality control, and dimensional measurement of mid-to-large parts. Its 31.9 fps rate is well matched to triggered single-shot acquisition at individual inspection stations.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
