HIKROBOT MV-CH050-10UM — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Sony IMX250, USB3.0, Mono, 74.1 fps
Sitting in the USB3.0 branch of the CH series, the MV-CH050-10UM is a 5 MP V4 model that produces 2448 × 2048 monochrome images from a 2/3″ Sony IMX250 global shutter CMOS sensor. With 3.45 μm pixels it offers 40 dB SNR and 71 dB dynamic range, and reaches 74.1 fps in Mono 8. Alongside the standard 15 μs to 10 s exposure range, an UltraShort exposure mode operating between 1 μs and 14 μs lets the camera freeze fast-moving objects without blur.
The USB3.0 interface is backward compatible with USB2.0 and the camera can be powered directly over USB3.0 (typically 3.3 W at 5 VDC); an external 9–24 VDC supply through the 6-pin P7 connector is also an option. That same P7 connector provides one opto-isolated input (Line 0), one opto-isolated output (Line 1) and one bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2). The 29 × 29 × 30 mm C-mount body weighs about 80 g and carries mounting holes on four sides for flexible positioning; USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance means it works with third-party software built on those standards, and LSC, Sequencer and Super Palette functions are available.

Where it is used
UltraShort exposure down to 1 μs, combined with 74 fps, suits tasks such as connector pin checks on fast assembly lines and edge or position measurement on parts in motion. Being USB-powered at around 80 g gives it an advantage in compact set-ups connected by a single cable, whether on a robot arm or at a desktop measurement station; electronic component inspection, laboratory imaging and optical character reading are typical uses.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
