HIKROBOT MV-SC3030XM-16M-WBN — Smart Cameras & Vision Sensors

The MV-SC3030XM-16M-WBN is the longest-focal-length mono model in the SC3000X series, offering 3.0-megapixel resolution. The CMOS global shutter sensor carries 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels and a 1/1.8″ optical format, reaching 2048 × 1536 at up to 40 fps; gain is 0-15 dB, exposure 6 µs to 1 s, and the pixel format is Mono 8. The M12-mount lens with mechanical (motorised) focus has a 16 mm focal length — the longest in the family — which narrows the field of view and extends the working distance, making the camera suitable for setups where it must sit noticeably further from the target while still resolving fine detail within a small area. The lens cover is fully transparent + polarised + diffuser, and the light source is focused white with optional red/blue/infrared.

This model shares the same vision toolset — point-to-point, point-to-line, contrast, greyscale area, pitch, width, average brightness, line-to-line angle, diameter and line angle for measurement, plus blob, edge and contour presence checks — with storage for up to 32 programs and import/export support. Communication runs over a 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet interface using RS-232, TCP, UDP, FTP, PROFINET, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, MELSEC/SLMP, FINS and Keyence KV. Mechanically, a 12-pin M12 connector combines power with I/O (3 opto-isolated inputs LINE0/1/2, 3 opto-isolated outputs LINE3/4/5, 1 RS-232, top-button triggering); power draw is a typical 6.5 W at 24 VDC. The housing is IP67-rated, operates from 0 °C to 50 °C, and is CE/KC certified.

Where it is used

The 16 mm focal length gives the narrowest field of view and longest working distance in the family, suiting stations where the camera must be mounted physically further from the target — for example where access is restricted or a safety distance is required — while still zooming into a small area to examine fine details such as edges, contours or diameters. Rather than scanning a wide surface like its shorter-focal siblings, it focuses on evaluating a specific, limited region at high resolution.

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