HIKROBOT MV-SC3060XM-12M-WBN — Smart Cameras & Vision Sensors

This model from the HIKROBOT SC3000 family is a 6.0 MP smart camera in Mono8 pixel format. Its CMOS rolling-shutter sensor, featuring a 2 µm × 2 µm pixel size and 1/2.4″ optical format, outputs 3200 × 1920 resolution at up to 20 fps, with gain ranging from 0 dB to 33 dB and exposure from 540 µs to 200 ms. The M12-mount lens offers mechanical (motorised) focus at a 12 mm focal length — compared with the 8 mm variant, this gives a narrower field of view and a more balanced optical geometry for mid-range working distances. Standard equipment includes a semi-polarised lens cover, a focused white light source (red/blue/infrared/ultraviolet options available), and a 360° body indicator light.

Vision tools on the camera include point-to-point, point-to-line, contrast, greyscale area, pitch, width, average brightness, line-to-line angle, diameter and line angle measurements, along with blob/edge/contour presence-absence checks; programs support import/export, and the device can store up to 32 of them. The 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet interface communicates via RS-232, TCP, UDP, FTP, PROFINET, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, MELSEC/SLMP, FINS and Keyence KV. Power and I/O share the same 12-pin M12 connector: 3 opto-isolated inputs (LINE0/1/2), 3 opto-isolated outputs (LINE3/4/5), 1 RS-232 line, and top-button triggering. At 12-24 VDC, consumption averages 6.6 W and can reach up to 22 W with built-in illumination on. The IP67-rated housing runs from 0 °C to 50 °C, is CE/KC certified, and includes 2 LED aiming lights.

Where it is used

With a 12 mm focal length, this variant offers a narrower field of view than the 8 mm model and works well at a moderate distance, making it suitable for stations where the camera must sit somewhat farther from the line while still resolving the detail on a single feature. It provides a balance for mid-scale part inspections where mounting distance is constrained by fixed equipment — neither too close nor too far. Final suitability should be determined on a project basis by measuring the actual on-site working distance and target field of view.

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