Hikrobot MV-CU200-20UC

USB colour detail and selection context

Colour output at 5120 × 3840 and 18 fps positions MV-CU200-20UC as a high-resolution USB 3.0 camera for local inspection systems. Its 1/1.8-inch AR2020 CMOS sensor uses 1.4 µm pixels, a rolling shutter, and Bayer GR 8 output. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body combines a short mechanical envelope with nearly twenty-megapixel sampling.

The camera fits indexed inspection of fine print, coloured components, labels, and stationary surfaces where a nearby host can accept USB 3.0 data. A C-mount lens keeps the optical assembly compact, but the fine pixel pitch makes optical resolution and focus important across the 5120 × 3840 field. Controlled part motion is appropriate because the sensor reads with a rolling shutter.

MV-CU200-20UM keeps the AR2020 resolution and 18 fps USB timing but outputs Mono 8 for intensity-based analysis. MV-CU200-20GC retains colour at 5120 × 3840 and shifts to Gigabit Ethernet, with a lower 5.9 fps rate. MV-CU120-10UC reaches 29.2 fps in colour at 4024 × 3036 when faster cycling outweighs the extra pixels.

Selection and applications

Fine colour print inspection. Indexed label detail capture. Local high-resolution surface imaging.

Minimum kit: The minimum setup is MV-CU200-20UC, a high-resolution C-mount lens covering 1/1.9 inch, and a USB 3.0 cable to the acquisition host.

Nearby in the range: MV-CU200-20UM — Prefer it for Mono 8 data at the same 5120 × 3840 and 18 fps; MV-CU200-20GC — Prefer it when Gigabit Ethernet is required and 5.9 fps is sufficient; MV-CU120-10UC — Prefer it for 29.2 fps colour output when 4024 × 3036 meets the sampling need.

FAQ

What full-frame colour rate does MV-CU200-20UC reach?

The camera is specified for 18 fps at 5120 × 3840 in Bayer GR 8. That operating point combines colour with a 19.7 MP image over USB 3.0. The host should be selected for the resulting image-transfer and processing workload.

How should optics be matched to the 1/1.8-inch AR2020?

Use a C-mount lens that covers the 1/1.8-inch sensor and resolves the 1.4 µm sampling across 5120 × 3840. Select focal length from object size, field of view, and working distance, then confirm usable sharpness through the image edges.

Is MV-CU200-20UC suited to continuously moving objects?

The CMOS sensor uses a rolling shutter. The camera is therefore most straightforward on stationary or indexed targets, where line-by-line timing does not alter the required geometry. A short machine cycle can still use the 18 fps stream after each stop.

How does the colour USB model differ from MV-CU200-20UM?

Both models record 5120 × 3840 at up to 18 fps over USB 3.0 and use the AR2020 sensor. MV-CU200-20UC supplies Bayer GR 8 colour, while MV-CU200-20UM supplies Mono 8 for brightness, texture, and edge processing.

What mechanical envelope is available for camera mounting?

The body measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and uses a C-mount lens interface. This short format can fit close to an indexed station, while the USB 3.0 connection places the acquisition host on the local camera link.
