HIKROBOT MV-CU200-20UM — Area Scan Cameras
20 MP, AR2020, USB3.0, Mono, 18 fps

For 20 MP monochrome imaging over USB3.0 the CU series offers the MV-CU200-20UM. Its 1/1.8″ AR2020 rolling-shutter sensor, with 1.4 μm pixels and 5120 × 3840 resolution, reaches 18 fps in Mono 8, roughly three times the 5.9 fps of the GigE variants on the same sensor. A 39 dB SNR and 61 dB dynamic range, with exposure from 54 μs to 10 sec, preserve fine grayscale detail.
The USB3.0 link is USB2.0-compatible and can power the camera; with a typical 1.8 W draw at 5 VDC most setups need no external supply, though a 9 VDC to 24 VDC input is available. The 6-pin P7 connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bi-directional non-isolated line for trigger and lighting synchronization. At 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and 76 g the body is built for small-space mounting and comes with IP40 protection, a C-mount and USB3 Vision / GenICam compliance.

Where it is used
An 18 fps stream of 20 MP monochrome frames is valuable where a fixed station needs many consecutive high-resolution captures: appearance inspection of semiconductor and electronic parts, measurement of precision molded components, and surface-defect scanning on paper and film. The compact USB camera fits positions close to the PC, such as a robot wrist or an in-cell inspection head. In code-reading and OCR applications that need no color, the high pixel count also allows a wide area to be covered in one frame.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
