HIKROBOT MV-CU050-60GM — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, 1/2.5-inch CMOS, GigE, Mono, 23.1 fps

The MV-CU050-60GM is a 5 MP CU-series camera with a Gigabit Ethernet interface, producing 2592 × 1944 monochrome images from a 1/2.5-inch rolling-shutter CMOS sensor. Its 40.8 dB SNR and 70.2 dB dynamic range distinguish it on image quality among the cost-effective family’s 5 MP GigE models, and it runs at 23.1 fps full-frame with a 2.2 μm × 2.2 μm pixel. An exposure range from 24 μs up to 2.5 seconds and 0–24 dB gain give flexibility in low light.
The Gigabit Ethernet interface is Fast Ethernet compatible and reaches 100 meters without a repeater; power is 9–24 VDC, PoE is offered as an option and typical consumption is 2.5 W at 12 VDC. Hardware trigger, software trigger and free-run modes are supported, with the 6-pin P7 connector supplying one opto-isolated input (Line 0), one opto-isolated output (Line 1) and one bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2). The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm C-mount body weighs approximately 100 g and connects to standards-based third-party software through GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam.

Where it is used
Five-megapixel monochrome imaging with high SNR and wide dynamic range pays off in surface inspection where contrast differences are subtle, scratch or residue detection on glass and transparent parts, and solder-joint checks on PCBs. Exposures up to 2.5 seconds allow imaging in dim, motion-free settings without pushing gain and noise. At 23.1 fps it keeps pace with parts that pause at the station or advance step by step.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
