Imaging role and range context
Square-format monochrome inspection is the main role of MV-CH160-60GM. Its HK global-shutter CMOS sensor provides 4000 × 4000 pixels at 3.2 µm pitch on a 1.1-inch format, and Gigabit Ethernet carries the 16 MP image at 7.25 fps. Equal horizontal and vertical sampling suits scenes whose inspection area is square, while the global shutter supports geometrically consistent captures of indexed moving parts.
The camera can inspect square arrays, part grids, centered components and surface contrast at a measured pace. Exposure is adjustable from 12 µs to 10 sec, and the 6-pin P7 connector supplies an isolated trigger input, an isolated output and a bidirectional non-isolated line. The 9 V DC to 26 V DC input and PoE support provide two power arrangements. A C-mount faces the 1.1-inch sensor in a 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm enclosure.
MV-CH123-10GM offers a 4096 × 3000 Sony IMX545 monochrome frame at 9.5 fps over the same Gigabit Ethernet class, trading the square image area for a wider rectangle. MV-CH140-60UM provides 4708 × 2824 Mono 8 at 27 fps through USB 3.0. MV-CH250-60UM raises resolution to 5120 × 5120 and speed to 14.8 fps on USB 3.0 but uses a rolling shutter. Select CH160 for square 16 MP GigE with a global shutter; choose the others for their respective aspect, rate or interface.

Selection and applications
Square-area monochrome part inspection. Global-shutter measurement of indexed targets. PoE-connected 16 MP acquisition.
Minimum setup: MV-CH160-60GM, a C-mount lens, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and either PoE or a 9 V DC to 26 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH123-10GM — Prefer it for a 4096 × 3000 monochrome GigE frame at 9.5 fps.; MV-CH140-60UM — Prefer it for a 4708 × 2824 Mono 8 stream at 27 fps over USB 3.0.; MV-CH250-60UM — Prefer it for 5120 × 5120 monochrome USB capture at 14.8 fps..

FAQ
Why is the 4000 × 4000 format useful on MV-CH160-60GM?
Its 4000 × 4000 array allocates the same pixel count to both axes, producing a square 16 MP image area. This is a direct geometric match for square parts, grids or centered inspection regions that would leave unused image area in a strongly rectangular frame.
What are the GigE power options for MV-CH160-60GM?
The camera accepts 9 V DC to 26 V DC and supports PoE over its Gigabit Ethernet connection. Typical consumption is 3.72 W at 12 V DC. Data runs at 1000 Mbit/s, with Fast Ethernet operation at 100 Mbit/s also stated.
How does MV-CH160-60GM handle triggered moving parts?
Its CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, exposing the full 4000 × 4000 frame together. Exposure can be set from 12 µs to 10 sec, and the maximum frame rate is 7.25 fps, so trigger cadence must remain within that full-frame acquisition rate.
Which lens mount and sensor size apply to MV-CH160-60GM?
MV-CH160-60GM uses C-mount with a 1.1-inch sensor and 3.2 µm × 3.2 µm pixels. A lens must cover the sensor format and maintain detail over the complete 4000 × 4000 image. The body face is 29 mm × 44 mm.
What environmental envelope is specified for MV-CH160-60GM?
Operation is from 0 °C to 50 °C and 20% RH to 80% RH without condensation. The ingress rating is IP30 with proper lens installation and wiring. Storage is listed from –30 °C to 70 °C, and mass is approximately 100 g.
