HIKROBOT MV-SC5100XC-12L-WBN — Smart Cameras & Vision Sensors

This model combines the 10MP color SC5000X sensor with a 12 mm liquid lens, pairing a mid-range working distance with electronic focusing flexibility. It keeps the family’s 4096 × 2816 resolution and 10 fps frame rate, while the liquid lens lets it switch quickly between objects at different depths without wearing mechanical parts. That gives it an edge over the fixed 12 mm model on lines where distance varies.

Processing power comes from the VisionMaster platform, with more than 140 ready-made algorithms enabling AI-based object recognition, defect detection and OCR on-device. The liquid lens’s focus can be driven by external triggers through the camera’s digital I/O, and multi-protocol support makes it easy to synchronize that with the line controller. Status indicators help field teams quickly tell a focus issue from a connection issue.

Where it is used

On mid-range stations with varying depth — inspecting products palletized at different heights, or robot-arm-mounted inspection tasks where distance to target changes — the liquid lens’s fast refocusing improves throughput. The 12 mm focal length strikes a balance between general-purpose inspection and narrower detail work, making it a fit for mixed-product lines. The color sensor also supports product or color-based sorting on those same mixed lines.

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