HIKROBOT MV-CE050-30UC — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Aptina AR0521, USB3.0, Color, 44.7 fps
MV-CE050-30UC moves the CE Series up from the 1.3 MP class: it’s built around an Aptina AR0521 rolling shutter CMOS sensor and reaches 44.7 fps at 2592×1944. With a 2.2 μm pixel size on a 1/2.5″ format, plus 40 dB SNR and 60 dB dynamic range, it targets color imaging tasks that need more detail than the entry models. HIKROBOT lists this model under ‘Delisting Preparation’.
It operates over USB3.0 (USB2.0-compatible); the 6-pin Hirose connector combines power and I/O — one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output, one bidirectional line — in a single cable, and the camera can be powered at 12 VDC or directly from the USB3.0 bus. Rich pixel-format support (Bayer, YUV422, RGB/BGR) simplifies integrating the color data into different software pipelines. USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance work directly with the MVS client and third-party software, and M2 screw holes secure the USB cable.

Where it is used
The 2592×1944 color resolution paired with a mid-range 44.7 fps offers a balanced fit for applications needing both detail and speed — packaging/label print inspection, color-based part sorting, and moderately detailed dimensional measurement. It also suits color component verification on electronics assembly lines.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
