HIKROBOT MV-CE060-10UC — Area Scan Cameras
6 MP, Sony IMX178, USB3.0, Color, 42.7 fps
MV-CE060-10UC carries the same Sony IMX178 sensor and 41.3 dB SNR / 71.3 dB dynamic range as the MV-CE060-10UM, in color form, still reaching 42.7 fps at 3072×2048. Its exposure range starts at 24 μs rather than the mono model’s 16 μs, reflecting the minimum exposure needed by the color demosaicing pipeline. HIKROBOT also lists this model as ‘Delisting Preparation’.
Connectivity and power mirror the mono model exactly: USB3.0/USB2.0-compatible interface, 12 VDC or USB3.0 bus power through the 6-pin Hirose connector, and a cable secured with M2 screw holes. The color sensor doesn’t change typical power draw (both models sit at 2.7 W), but adds Bayer, YUV422, and RGB/BGR pixel-format support so color data can be processed directly. USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance carry over unchanged.

Where it is used
Color 6 MP resolution paired with a wide dynamic range suits applications needing both fine detail and color accuracy — packaging/label print quality control, color inspection of PCB and electronic components, and detailed product-surface color analysis.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
