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

The MV-CH250-90UN V4 is the NIR-designated, monochrome-output member of the CH series high-resolution family on USB3.0. It uses the 1.1-inch Gpixel GMAX0505 global shutter CMOS sensor with 5120 × 5120 pixels of 2.5 μm × 2.5 μm, and in this version dynamic range rises to 65 dB while gain is selected in fixed steps from 2.0 × to 5.0 ×. Over USB3.0 the camera reaches 14 fps at full resolution in Mono 8, more than three times the 4.5 fps of the GigE cameras built on the same sensor.
The USB3.0 port is backward compatible with USB2.0 and can power the camera directly, drawing a typical 3.6 W at 5 VDC, while a 12 VDC to 24 VDC external input is also provided. Triggering runs through the 6-pin P7 connector with an opto-isolated input (Line 0), an opto-isolated output (Line 1) and a bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2), covering hardware trigger, software trigger and free run. The C-mount body measures 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm, weighs about 100 g, is rated IP30 and operates from –10 °C to 50 °C; USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance connect it to MVS and third-party software without proprietary drivers.

Where it is used
The NIR designation points this camera at setups where near-infrared illumination is the preferred choice: imaging surfaces that glare under visible light, checking fill levels through dark packaging, or measurement stations that must be immune to ambient lighting, all at 25 MP detail. Its 14 fps rate keeps live focusing and rapid scanning fluid on laboratory and desktop measurement rigs, and USB bus power allows single-cable portable inspection units. The wide square field also lends itself to single-shot inspection of semiconductor or solar cell wafers and other large flat parts.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
