HIKROBOT MV-CU050-30GM V2 — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, AR0521, GigE, Mono, 24 fps

The MV-CU050-30GM V2 is the monochrome 5 MP GigE version built on the AR0521 rolling-shutter CMOS sensor, delivering 2592 × 1944 at 24 fps. The 1/2.5-inch sensor carries a 2.2 μm × 2.2 μm pixel, 37 dB SNR and 63 dB dynamic range, and the Mono 8/10/10Packed/12/12Packed pixel formats provide up to 12-bit depth. Within the cost-effective CU series it has the lowest typical power draw in this group at 1.78 W at 12 VDC.
Power is 9–24 VDC with PoE available as an option; the 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet link is Fast Ethernet compatible and can be run 100 meters without a repeater. Triggering is done in hardware (opto-isolated input, Line 0), by software or in free-run mode, and the opto-isolated output (Line 1) and bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2) sit on the same 6-pin P7 connector. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm C-mount housing weighs about 100 g, and GigE Vision V2.0 / GenICam compliance lets it be used in standards-based software environments where gain and exposure can be set automatically or manually.

Where it is used
Monochrome at 5 MP yields more detail per pixel for measurement and presence tasks that need no color: hole position and dimension checks on sheet-metal parts, connector pin counting and orientation, and short-shot detection on injection-molded parts are typical examples. Its 24 fps matches indexed or slow-conveyor lines. The low power draw is easy on the budget of multi-camera measurement stations fed from a PoE switch.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
