HIKROBOT MV-CH250-90UM V4 — Area Scan Cameras
25 MP, Gpixel GMAX0505, USB3.0, Mono, 14 fps

Built for measurement and inspection rigs attached to a single PC, the MV-CH250-90UM V4 is the USB3.0 monochrome member of the CH series high-resolution family. The 5120 × 5120 frame (2.5 μm × 2.5 μm pixels) of its 1.1-inch Gpixel GMAX0505 global shutter CMOS is read out 14 times per second in Mono 8, a stream more than three times faster than the 4.5 fps of the GigE version and one that keeps live adjustment and quick scan cycles fluid. A 65 dB dynamic range alongside 36 dB SNR, with gain selectable in half steps from 2.0 × to 5.0 ×, helps separate bright and dark detail within the same frame.
The USB3.0 interface is backward compatible with USB2.0 and can power the camera directly at a typical 3.6 W at 5 VDC, so most bench setups need no separate supply; a 12 VDC to 24 VDC external input remains available. For triggering and synchronization the 6-pin P7 connector provides an opto-isolated input, an opto-isolated output and a bi-directional non-isolated line, with hardware trigger, software trigger and free run supported. The C-mount body of 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm and roughly 100 g is rated IP30 and operates from –10 °C to 50 °C, and USB3 Vision plus GenICam compliance means immediate connection to MVS and third-party software.

Where it is used
Wide-field optical measurement systems that replace measuring microscopes in labs and quality rooms, reading of multi-point calibration plates, and coordinate measurement of large precision parts can all be built on this model, which pushes 25 MP straight into the PC over USB. The 14 fps rate is an advantage in semi-automatic stations where an operator adjusts focus and position on a live image and in quick scan cycles that image several parts in sequence. The compact housing and single cable also make it a fit for portable inspection carts and field calibration kits.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
