HIKROBOT MV-SC5120XM-00C-NNN — Smart Cameras & Vision Sensors

The MV-SC5120XM-00C-NNN is the monochrome counterpart within the SC5000X line, keeping the same 4096×2944 global-shutter CMOS sensor but trading colour for maximum contrast and edge sharpness. That makes it the better fit for geometry-driven tasks — measurement, positioning, alignment — where colour information isn’t the deciding factor. It retains the C-Mount interface for lens flexibility.

Physically, it ships in two IP67-rated body styles — a flat-angle housing (112.3×54×110 mm) and a right-angle housing (88.7×54×110 mm) — at roughly 370 g, giving installers a choice depending on available mounting space. Running on 24 VDC at 10 W and rated for 0–50 °C operation, it tolerates the temperature swings typical of factory floors. This compact, dual-form-factor build simplifies retrofits into tight machine frames.

Where it is used

Its high-contrast monochrome imaging suits character/OCR reading on metal or reflective surfaces, precision dimensional measurement, and part positioning where colour would only add noise. It is a natural fit for electronics and semiconductor component alignment and for edge detection on dark or shiny parts that challenge colour sensors. The two housing shapes also let it slot into stations where mounting space is constrained.

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