Color inspection with USB3.0

Color images at 3072 × 2048 and 42.7 fps make MV-CE060-10UC a mid-resolution USB camera for inspections that use both spatial and chromatic information. The Sony IMX178 has a 1/1.8-inch format and a stated 71.3 dB dynamic range. USB3.0 transfers the images and remains compatible with USB2.0.

Color-mark presence, assembly differentiation and surface-feature checks can use the full image while repeated frames follow a moderately paced sequence. USB3.0 can power the 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm camera body directly. For discrete machine communication, the 6-pin Hirose connector provides one isolated input, one isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O.

MV-CE060-10UM shares the Sony IMX178, 3072 × 2048 image, 42.7 fps ceiling and USB3.0 connection. MV-CE050-30UC steps down to 2592 × 1944 but rises slightly to 44.7 fps over USB3.0. MV-CE120-10UC V2.0 is the higher-resolution color alternative at 4000 × 3036 and 31.9 fps, also using USB3.0 but with a documented rolling shutter.

Selection and applications

Color-mark presence inspection. Assembly differentiation at 3072 × 2048. USB-powered surface-feature checks.

Minimum kit: Start with the MV-CE060-10UC, a C-mount lens, a USB3.0 cable, and either USB3.0 bus power or a 12 VDC supply.

Nearby in the range: MV-CE060-10UM — Prefer it for the same Sony IMX178, 3072 × 2048 and 42.7 fps platform in the UM execution; MV-CE050-30UC — Prefer it for 2592 × 1944 USB3.0 capture at 44.7 fps; MV-CE120-10UC V2.0 — Prefer it for 4000 × 3036 color USB3.0 imaging at 31.9 fps.

FAQ

Which inspection tasks use color at 3072 × 2048 resolution?

The camera explicitly produces color images, so the 3072 × 2048 array can retain color differences for mark, label and assembly checks. Its 42.7 fps maximum adds repeated views for inspection sequences with moderate cycle rates.

What C-mount coverage is needed for the Sony IMX178?

The Sony IMX178 sensor format is 1/1.8 inch and the lens connection is C-mount. Use an optic that covers that format and resolves the image detail required across the 3072 × 2048 pixel array.

Can a USB3.0 host connection also supply the camera?

Yes. MV-CE060-10UC supports USB3.0 power and lists consumption as 2.7 W at 5 VDC. A 12 VDC source is also supported when the installation uses a separate camera supply.

Which signals are exposed through the Hirose interface?

The 6-pin Hirose connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. These discrete channels complement the USB3.0 image and power connection.

What operating conditions apply to this compact camera?

The 56 g body is rated IP30 and measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm. Its working range is 0 °C to 50 °C at 20% RH to 80% RH, and the listed storage range is -30 °C to 70 °C.
