Hikrobot MV-CU016-10GM

Monochrome IMX296 applications and neighbours

A Sony IMX296 global-shutter sensor anchors MV-CU016-10GM for monochrome inspection at 1440 × 1080. The 1/2.9-inch CMOS device uses 3.45 µm pixels and supplies Mono 8 at up to 65.8 fps through Gigabit Ethernet. Its 74 dB dynamic range is paired with an UltraShort 1–14 µs mode and a standard exposure interval from 15 µs to 10 sec.

Fine edge, position and shape checks on moving components can use the monochrome sampling without a color mosaic. UltraShort exposure supports blur reduction under strong illumination, while the global shutter keeps the geometry of each frame coherent. The C-mount camera can use optional PoE, and the P7 connection supplies isolated input and output plus a bidirectional non-isolated I/O for timing.

MV-CU016-10GC is the color counterpart with the same IMX296 geometry and 65.8 fps. MV-CU020-80GM raises the image to 1600 × 1200 at 53.5 fps using an SC235 sensor, while MV-CU013-A0GM trades down to 1280 × 1024 but rises to 91.3 fps with 4.8 µm pixels. Choose MV-CU016-10GM for Mono 8, 1440 × 1080 and the 1 µs UltraShort starting point.

Specifications

Selection and applications

Monochrome edge measurement. Short-exposure moving-part checks. Hardware-timed GigE imaging.

Minimum kit: Use a C-mount lens for the 1/2.9-inch sensor, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and either optional PoE or an external 9–24 V DC supply.

Nearby in the range: MV-CU016-10GC — Use it when Bayer RG 8 color is needed with the same IMX296 and 65.8 fps.; MV-CU020-80GM — Use it for 1600 × 1200 Mono 8 when 53.5 fps is enough.; MV-CU013-A0GM — Use it for 91.3 fps with a 1280 × 1024 grid and 4.8 µm pixels..

FAQ

How short can exposure be on the MV-CU016-10GM sensor?

UltraShort exposure mode covers 1–14 µs. Standard exposure then spans 15 µs to 10 sec. Together with the IMX296 global shutter and 65.8 fps maximum, these ranges support both fast moving subjects and longer stationary acquisitions.

Why is Mono 8 useful for the intended measurement workflow?

Mono 8 provides one intensity value per output pixel at 1440 × 1080, suiting edge, profile and shape calculations that do not require color. The sensor pitch is 3.45 µm and the listed dynamic range is 74 dB.

What C-mount lens image circle does the 10GM require?

The optical format is 1/2.9 inch, so the C-mount lens must cover that sensor area and resolve the required object sampling over 1440 × 1080. The camera enclosure itself is 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm.

Which supply options and network interface are supported?

The camera uses Gigabit Ethernet with Fast Ethernet support. It accepts 9–24 V DC and lists PoE as optional; typical consumption is 2 W at 12 V DC. That permits either a combined network-power route or separate power wiring.

What temperature, humidity and ingress limits apply to 10GM?

Operation is specified from 0 °C to 50 °C at 20–95% RH without condensation. The IP30 rating applies with correct lens installation and wiring, so the camera requires added environmental protection where the machine exceeds that boundary.
