Camera Link speed and application fit
A Sony IMX250 global-shutter sensor delivers 2432 × 2048 Mono 8, Mono 10, or Mono 12 images at up to 140 fps through Camera Link. MV-CH050-10CM combines 3.45 µm pixels, a 2/3-inch format, and 75.4 dB dynamic range for high-rate measurement where monochrome edge information and deterministic camera timing are central. Base, Medium, Full, and 80-bit configurations are available.
Its stated application areas include SMT and PCB AOI, flat-panel inspection, railway-related imaging, and high-accuracy measurement. Global shutter preserves moving geometry, while exposure from 15 µs to 10 sec covers short strobed capture and stationary integration. The camera also provides binning from 1x1 through 4x4, allowing resolution and sensitivity behaviour to be adapted to the inspection rather than always reading the native raster.
MV-CH050-90XM-C-NN offers a comparable five-megapixel class at 2592 × 2160 and increases speed to 213 fps through CoaXPress. MV-CU013-80UM reaches 240.4 fps through USB3.0 but at 1280 × 1024. MV-CH650-90XM-F-NF moves to 9344 × 7000 at 31.5 fps over CoaXPress when much higher spatial sampling is required.

Selection and applications
High-rate PCB AOI. Global-shutter flat-panel inspection. Fast monochrome dimensional measurement.
Minimum kit: The minimum setup is MV-CH050-10CM, a C-mount lens covering 2/3 inch, a Camera Link SDR cable and matching acquisition interface, and a 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH050-90XM-C-NN — Prefer it for 2592 × 2160 global-shutter images at 213 fps over CoaXPress.; MV-CU013-80UM — Prefer it for 240.4 fps over USB3.0 when 1280 × 1024 is sufficient.; MV-CH650-90XM-F-NF — Prefer it for 9344 × 7000 sampling over CoaXPress at 31.5 fps..

FAQ
Which Camera Link configurations does MV-CH050-10CM support?
The camera lists Base, Medium, Full, and 80-bit configuration modes through a Camera Link SDR interface. It also supports 2, 4, 8, or 10 taps with several tap geometries, so the acquisition interface must match the selected camera mode.
How does global shutter support PCB and measurement work?
The Sony IMX250 exposes the frame globally, retaining object geometry when a board, panel, or mechanism is moving. At 140 fps and 2432 × 2048, the camera can combine frequent samples with five-megapixel-class monochrome detail.
What can the binning modes change in an inspection setup?
Binning options range from 1x1 through 4x4, including horizontal, vertical, and combined settings. These modes let the acquisition trade native spatial sampling for grouped pixels when the inspection does not require the full 2432 × 2048 raster.
What C-mount lens, cable, and power connections are required?
MV-CH050-10CM uses a C-mount lens for its 2/3-inch sensor. The camera accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC and consumes 3.3 W at 12 V DC. A Camera Link cable matching the SDR interface completes the image path to the acquisition hardware.
Which external timing lines are available on the P7 connector?
The 6-pin P7 connector provides one input, one output, and one bidirectional I/O. These signals can coordinate the global-shutter acquisition with a trigger sensor, pulsed illumination, and machine control around the 140 fps stream.
What temperature and ingress limits apply to MV-CH050-10CM?
The working range is 0 °C to 50 °C, with storage from -30 °C to 70 °C and 20% to 80% RH without condensation. IP30 applies when lens installation and wiring are correct, so additional environmental shielding may be needed.
