HIKROBOT MV-CB016-10UM-C — Area Scan Cameras
1.6 MP, Sony IMX273, USB3.0, Mono, 249.1 fps, C-mount
The MV-CB016-10UM-C is a 1.6 MP (1440×1080) mono board-level USB3.0 camera built around the Sony IMX273 global-shutter sensor. It belongs to the bare-board branch of the CB series: the board ships without a housing, relies on its mounting holes for fixation, and the exposed PCB must be enclosed inside the customer’s own housing for environmental protection. Its standout trait is speed — up to 249.1 fps in ADC 8 mode (165.4 fps at ADC 12) — backed by a 39.9 dB SNR that keeps the image usable at that rate.
The USB 3.0 interface carries both data and power (typ. 1.5 W @ 5 VDC), so no separate power cable is needed. The board provides 2 bi-directional, non-isolated digital I/O lines (Line 2, Line 5) for triggering and synchronization. On the software side it is USB3 Vision and GenICam compliant, so it works directly with the HIKROBOT MVS client or any third-party software built on those standards, while its C-mount lens interface accepts standard industrial optics without adapters.

Key features
- Supports auto and manual adjustment for gain, exposure control, white balance, LUT, etc.
- Adopts image interpolation algorithm for color camera to have better color correction.
- Power supply and data transmission via USB3.0 interface.
- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam standard, and the third-party software based on these protocol and standard.
Where it is used
The high frame rate combined with mono imaging suits this camera to fast production lines — presence/position checks, part counting, and encoder-synchronized triggering where speed matters more than color. C-mount compatibility gives integrators the flexibility to match field of view and working distance per station. It fits inline inspection stations where repeatability and throughput, not color discrimination, are the priority.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
