HIKROBOT MV-SC3016M-06M-WBN — Smart Cameras & Vision Sensors

The MV-SC3016M-06M-WBN is a monochrome member of the SC3000 family, built around the same 1.6 MP global-shutter CMOS sensor with a 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixel size, 1/2.9″ optical format, 1408 × 1024 resolution and up to 60 fps. Gain runs 0-15 dB, exposure 16 µs to 1 s, and it supports the Mono 8 pixel format. Its M12-mount lens uses mechanical (motorised) focus at a short 6 mm focal length — a basic optical principle where a shorter focal length yields a wider field of view and a correspondingly shorter working distance.

Fitted with a 6 mm wide-angle lens, this model’s vision tools include measurement (point-to-point, point-to-line, contrast, greyscale area, pitch, width, average brightness, line-to-line angle, diameter, line angle) plus presence/absence detection, storing up to 32 programs with import/export support. Electrically, it runs on 24 VDC drawing 13.8 W average / 42 W peak, with a single 17-pin M12 connector combining power, Ethernet, digital I/O and serial communication. Communication protocols are RS-232, TCP, UDP, FTP, PROFINET, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, MELSEC/SLMP, FINS and Keyence KV over a Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) interface. Unlike the colour models, the mono family’s 14-LED light source extends beyond white/red/blue to include near-infrared. It shares the semi-polarised lens cover, PWR/LNK/STS/OK-NG indicators, a 65.2 × 65.2 × 47 mm body at roughly 280 g, and IP67 protection.

Where it is used

The short 6 mm focal length delivers a wide field of view and a short working distance, making the camera well suited to monochrome measurement or position-check tasks where it is mounted close to the target and needs to capture a large area or an entire large part in one frame. The near-infrared light option adds flexibility for surfaces or materials where contrast needs to be brought out differently than with visible light.

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