HIKROBOT MV-SC2016EC-15S-WBN — Smart Cameras & Vision Sensors

The HIKROBOT MV-SC2016EC-15S-WBN is the 15 mm fixed-lens colour model of the SC2000E series of smart cameras (vision sensors). Its 1/2.9″ optical format, global shutter CMOS sensor with 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels delivers 1408 × 1024 resolution images at up to 60 fps. Gain is adjustable from 0 dB to 15 dB and exposure time from 16 µs to 1 s; the pixel format supports both Mono 8 and RGB 8. As a smart camera that integrates the imaging sensor, processor and vision software in a single housing, it can run standalone without an external PC or controller. Focusing is manual through the M12 lens mount, with a focal length of 14.8 mm on this model. Its compact 46 mm × 57.6 mm × 25 mm housing and approximate weight of 220 g allow it to be fitted into tight installation spaces.

The 14.8 mm fixed lens, manually focused via the M12 mount, provides a narrow field of view and a long working distance, useful for stations where the camera cannot be brought close to the line or where small colored details must be examined from a distance. Support for Mono 8 and RGB 8 pixel formats enables color-based discrimination. Image and control data are transferred over RS-232, TCP, UDP, FTP, PROFINET, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, FINS, MELSEC/SLMP and Keyence KV via a 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet interface, with the device storing up to 8 plans and 40 modules with import/export support for sharing across stations. The IP65-rated 46 mm × 57.6 mm × 25 mm housing with integrated white light weighs approximately 220 g.

Where it is used

With a narrow field of view and long working distance, the 14.8 mm lens is preferred for stations where the camera cannot be installed near the line, or where small colored labels/marks need remote verification; color imaging adds tolerance checks on top of shape inspection. It covers a more limited area than the wide-angle variants but can still reliably distinguish small colored details at a distance.

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