HIKROBOT MV-CB050-60UC-C-F — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Stacked BSI global shutter, USB3.0, Color, 80 fps

This CB-series board-level camera carries a 5-megapixel Stacked BSI global-shutter sensor and reaches up to 80 fps at 2448×2048, with the global-shutter design capturing fast-moving objects without motion distortion. It is the FPC-connected, C-mount member of the color, USB3.0 branch of the CB family. Because it ships as a bare board with no housing, it relies on the PCB’s mounting holes and must be built into the customer’s own enclosure; the FPC (flexible flat cable) connector lets the board be wired to the host electronics in tight spatial layouts.
The USB3.0 interface is backward-compatible with USB2.0 and is powered directly from the 5V USB3.0 line at a typical 1.5 W, so no separate power supply is needed. Two bi-directional, non-isolated digital I/O lines (Line 2, Line 5) support triggering and synchronization. USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance make it work with compatible third-party software and the MVS client, while the C-mount interface accepts standard industrial lenses.

Key features
- USB3.0 supports FPC connection to meet limited spatial requirements.
- Supports auto or manual adjustment of gain, exposure time, white balance, LUT correction, Gamma correction, etc.
- Adopts image interpolation algorithm for color camera to have better color correction.
- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam standard, and the third-party software based on these protocol and standard.
Where it is used
The combination of high frame rate and global shutter suits color inline inspection, counting and positioning tasks on fast-moving lines. The color sensor and image interpolation algorithm help in sorting and print/label inspection where accurate color differentiation matters. The FPC connector and compact footprint make it easy to embed inside space-constrained OEM equipment.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
