Hikrobot MV-CU120-10GC

High-detail colour use and alternatives

Colour sampling at 4024 × 3036 is the defining characteristic of MV-CU120-10GC. Its 1/1.7-inch Sony IMX226 CMOS sensor has 1.85 µm pixels, a rolling shutter, and a 9.7 fps Bayer RG 8 output over Gigabit Ethernet. The 12.2 MP format favours small-feature visibility and wide-area recording on scenes that can remain still during acquisition.

Applicable stations include detailed electronics inspection, label and print verification, colour-coded assembly checks, and documentation of stationary surfaces. A C-mount lens serves the compact 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm housing. Optional PoE combines network and power, while a 9 V DC to 24 V DC feed is also accepted. The exposure range from 34 µs to 2 sec supports both illuminated and longer stationary captures.

MV-CU120-10GM keeps the Sony IMX226, 4024 × 3036 resolution, 9.7 fps rate, and Gigabit Ethernet path in a 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm body. MV-CU120-10UC preserves colour but uses USB 3.0 and reaches 29.2 fps when a local host and faster cycle are required. MV-CU200-20GC raises colour sampling to 5120 × 3840, trading the frame rate down to 5.9 fps.

Selection and applications

Detailed colour electronics inspection. Stationary print and label verification. Twelve-megapixel GigE documentation.

Minimum kit: The minimum setup is MV-CU120-10GC, a C-mount lens covering 1/1.7 inch, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and either optional PoE or a 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply.

Nearby in the range: MV-CU120-10GM — Prefer it for a 4024 × 3036 Sony IMX226 GigE camera with a 100 m transmission distance; MV-CU120-10UC — Prefer it for 29.2 fps colour capture through USB 3.0; MV-CU200-20GC — Prefer it when 5120 × 3840 colour detail is required and 5.9 fps is sufficient.

FAQ

What lens format is needed for the Sony IMX226 colour sensor?

The camera has a C-mount and a 1/1.7-inch sensor. The selected lens should cover that image format and resolve 1.85 µm sampling across 4024 × 3036. Choose focal length from the required field width and working distance after confirming those coverage and resolution conditions.

How much colour throughput does MV-CU120-10GC provide?

The maximum listed rate is 9.7 fps at 4024 × 3036 in Bayer RG 8. This operating point prioritises a 12.2 MP colour raster over rapid cadence. MV-CU120-10UC is the closer local-link option when the same resolution is needed at 29.2 fps.

Can power and data share the Ethernet connection here?

PoE is optional on MV-CU120-10GC. It also accepts a separate 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply, and typical consumption is 1.82 W at 12 V DC. Select the power route together with the network hardware and the machine's existing supply architecture.

How does the rolling shutter affect a twelve-megapixel check?

The Sony IMX226 is a rolling-shutter sensor, so the 4024 × 3036 frame is most suitable for stationary or indexed objects. Shorter exposure can reduce blur, but row timing remains. Use a global-shutter model where rapid motion and geometric measurement occur simultaneously.

What are the enclosure and ambient limits of MV-CU120-10GC?

The housing is IP30 when the lens and wiring are installed correctly. Operation is specified from 0 °C to 50 °C and 20% to 95% RH without condensation. The installation should shield the camera from moisture and particulate exposure beyond that enclosure level.
