HIKROBOT MV-SC3060XM-08M-WBN — Smart Cameras & Vision Sensors

This member of the HIKROBOT SC3000 series is a 6.0 MP monochrome (Mono8) smart camera (vision sensor). Its CMOS rolling-shutter sensor, with a 2 µm × 2 µm pixel size and 1/2.4″ optical format, delivers 3200 × 1920 resolution at a maximum frame rate of 20 fps. Gain is adjustable from 0 dB to 33 dB and exposure time from 540 µs to 200 ms. The M12-mount lens has mechanical (motorised) focus and an 8 mm focal length; this short focal length yields a wide field of view, which is an advantage when the camera is mounted close to the target and a wide surface must be captured in a single frame. A semi-polarised lens cover (transparent or fully polarised options available) and a focused white light source (with optional red/blue/infrared/ultraviolet variants) come as standard.

On-camera vision tools cover measurement (point-to-point, point-to-line, contrast, greyscale area, pitch, width, average brightness, line-to-line angle, diameter, line angle) as well as presence/absence checks (blob, edge, contour); programs can be imported/exported and up to 32 can be stored on the device. Communication is handled over RS-232, TCP, UDP, FTP, PROFINET, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, MELSEC/SLMP, FINS and Keyence KV, with a 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet data interface. A single 12-pin M12 connector carries both power and I/O: 3 opto-isolated inputs (LINE0/1/2), 3 opto-isolated outputs (LINE3/4/5) and 1 RS-232 line, with triggering also available via the top button. Powered at 12-24 VDC, the unit draws an average of 6.6 W and up to 22 W maximum at 24 VDC with the built-in illumination on. The IP67-rated housing operates from 0 °C to 50 °C, carries CE and KC certification, and includes a 360° visible indicator light plus 2 LED aiming lights.

Where it is used

The 8 mm focal length and its correspondingly wide field of view make this variant suited to short-working-distance stations, where the camera is mounted close to the part and a broad surface or several combined features need to be captured in a single frame. In tightly constrained mounting spots, where an entire part or multiple items on a pallet must be captured in one shot, this wide angle reduces the need for additional cameras. Suitability should be confirmed on a project basis by calculating the actual working distance and required field of view.

Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
