HIKROBOT MV-CU020-80GC — Area Scan Cameras
2 MP, SC235, GigE, Color, 53.5 fps

The MV-CU020-80GC is a 2 MP GigE camera built on the color variant of the SC235 sensor: 1600 × 1200 resolution, 3.45 μm pixels, global shutter and 53.5 fps in Bayer BG 8. As one of the cost-effective color options in the CU series it shares the 40.1 dB SNR and 60.4 dB dynamic range of its monochrome siblings. Typical power consumption is 1.9 W at 12 VDC and the weight is approximately 97 g.
The Bayer BG 8/10/10Packed/12/12Packed pixel formats let you choose between bandwidth and color depth as the application demands, and the Gigabit Ethernet interface also runs on Fast Ethernet networks. The 6-pin P7 connector carries both the 9–24 VDC supply and the opto-isolated input/output plus the bi-directional I/O line; PoE is available as an option. The compact 29 × 29 × 42 mm body takes C-mount lenses, and GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliance provide standard software integration.

Where it is used
It can be chosen for applications where color is the distinguishing information, such as checking wire order in cable harnesses, color consistency in textiles and packaging, and verifying color print on pharmaceutical cartons. The 2 MP resolution is enough to tell small colored marks apart at stations that image a single product up close. Customized ROI on the camera means only the relevant region is transferred.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
