HIKROBOT MV-CU060-10GM — Area Scan Cameras
6 MP, Sony IMX178, GigE, Mono, 19.1 fps, PoE
The MV-CU060-10GM is a 6 MP monochrome GigE camera with a 1/1.8″ Sony IMX178 CMOS rolling-shutter sensor, positioned in the cost-effective Gigabit Ethernet family of the CU series as the PoE-optional variant. It outputs 3072 × 2048 at 19.1 fps in Mono 8 while offering 41.3 dB SNR and 71.3 dB dynamic range, with 2.4 μm × 2.4 μm pixels aimed at fine detail. Its strength is therefore not speed but the pairing of low noise and wide dynamic range with 6 MP detail in a budget-oriented body.
The Gigabit Ethernet link runs up to 100 m without a repeater and remains compatible with Fast Ethernet; power is 9–24 VDC, and with the PoE option the camera can be powered over the same Ethernet cable at a typical 1.7 W on 12 VDC. Hardware trigger, software trigger and free-run are supported, and the 6-pin P7 connector provides an opto-isolated input (Line 0), an opto-isolated output (Line 1) and a bi-directional non-isolated I/O (Line 2). The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm C-mount housing weighs about 100 g and complies with GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam; gain and exposure can be set automatically or manually.

Where it is used
High SNR and dynamic range make this mono model advantageous where bright and dark regions share one frame: scratch and defect search on metal surfaces, solder-joint and PCB component presence checks, and inspection of large areas with uneven illumination. The 19.1 fps rate is adequate for measurement and OCR/DataMatrix reading on parts that are stationary or moving at moderate speed. The PoE option simplifies cabling in on-line installations where the camera sits at a remote station reached by a single cable.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
