HIKROBOT MV-SC5100XC-08L-WBN — Smart Cameras & Vision Sensors

This 10MP color SC5000X model is fitted with an 8 mm liquid lens. Unlike mechanical focusing, a liquid lens adjusts focus electronically with no moving parts, giving fast, repeatable sharpness even at short working distances. At 4096 × 2816 resolution and 10 fps, it delivers detailed imaging for wide-angle, close-range tasks.

At its core sits a VisionMaster-based library of over 140 algorithms, with an AI deep-learning engine handling object recognition, defect detection and OCR. The liquid lens’s electronic focusing can be synchronized with trigger signals coming through the camera’s rich I/O lines, letting a single station switch between objects at different heights or distances without mechanical adjustment. Multi-protocol support simplifies integration.

Where it is used

The wide-angle, short-working-distance liquid lens setup is useful in flexible cells handling mixed small parts — for example, electronics assembly lines where several product variants run together — since the camera can refocus for each item without a mechanical adjustment. The short working distance also saves space on compact test benches and desktop-style automation cells. Color imaging helps distinguish multi-colored components or color-coded parts on a populated circuit board.

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