Hikrobot MV-CH120-15TC-M58S-NF

Applications and range position

Colour capture at 4096 × 3000 and 68.3 fps defines this 12.3 MP implementation. Its Sony® IMX253 CMOS sensor combines a 1.1-inch optical format, 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link. UltraShort exposure extends from 2 µs to 14 µs, while standard exposure covers 15 µs to 10 sec. The M58 × 0.75 lens mount and fan-cooled 74 mm × 74 mm × 72.4 mm body distinguish the camera from compact C-mount members of the range.

The full-frame rate and global exposure suit colour inspection of moving parts, registration marks and repeated assembly states on a conveyor. A hardware sensor can enter through the opto-isolated Line 0 input, while Line 1 can coordinate an external event; the P10 connection also carries power and includes a bidirectional line plus RS-232. A host path sized for 10000 Mbit/s is needed to preserve the 68.3 fps operating point. The 9 VDC to 24 VDC supply is separate from the data link.

Choose MV-CH120-15TC-M58S-NF when the Sony® IMX253, colour output and M58 × 0.75 optics are required together. MV-CH120-15TM-M58S-NF keeps the same sensor, frame geometry and 68.3 fps rate but produces a mono image. MV-CH120-60TC-C-NF V2.0 moves to a Stacked BSI sensor, C-mount and 80 fps over the same interface class. For a lower-rate PoE layout, MV-CH120-20GC V4.0 provides 4096 × 3072 at 9.6 fps over Gigabit Ethernet.

Selection and applications

Colour inspection of moving parts at 68.3 fps. Global-shutter capture with exposure down to 2 µs. 4096 × 3000 acquisition over 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Minimum kit: MV-CH120-15TC-M58S-NF, an M58 × 0.75 lens, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet cable and a 9 VDC to 24 VDC power connection form the minimum acquisition kit.

Nearby in the range: MV-CH120-15TM-M58S-NF — Prefer it for mono output with the same 4096 × 3000 resolution and 68.3 fps rate; MV-CH120-60TC-C-NF V2.0 — Prefer it for colour capture at 80 fps with a C-mount lens.

FAQ

Which optical mount and sensor coverage apply to this colour model?

The camera uses an M58 × 0.75 mount in front of a 1.1-inch Sony® IMX253 sensor. Lens selection therefore has to start with that thread and sensor format; the C-mount used by several neighbouring CH cameras is a different mechanical interface.

What network path is needed to retain the stated full-frame rate?

Its data interface is 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 10000 Mbit/s, with compatibility down to Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s. The 68.3 fps figure applies at 4096 × 3000, so the high-rate operating point belongs on the 10 Gigabit Ethernet path.

How can exposure be set for rapidly moving colour features?

The global shutter exposes the full frame together. UltraShort exposure mode spans 2 µs to 14 µs, followed by a standard range from 15 µs to 10 sec. This gives the integrator a direct way to trade captured light against motion blur.

What are the power and hardware-I/O provisions on MV-CH120-15TC-M58S-NF?

Supply input is 9 VDC to 24 VDC, with typical consumption of 10.1 W at 24 VDC. The 12-pin P10 connector provides power and I/O: one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output, one bidirectional non-isolated line and one RS-232 channel.

Which environmental limits matter when placing this fan-cooled camera?

The housing is rated IP40 after proper lens installation and wiring, and its working range is 0 °C to 50 °C. The specification also gives 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation, so the fan-cooled body still needs a controlled, dry installation.
