Hikrobot MV-CU200-20UM

High-resolution mono use near the host

Mono 8 output at 5120 × 3840 and 18 fps makes MV-CU200-20UM the faster local-link alternative to the AR2020 GigE model. The 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor combines 1.4 µm pixels with a rolling shutter in a 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm USB 3.0 housing. Its strength is dense monochrome sampling of controlled scenes rather than unrestricted motion capture.

This profile supports fine edge and mark inspection, texture analysis, broad-area presence checks, and measurement after an indexed stop. The C-mount interface permits a compact optical stack, while the lens must preserve detail across the fine-pitch 5120 × 3840 array. A nearby acquisition computer receives the USB 3.0 stream; trigger timing and illumination should be arranged around the rolling-shutter readout.

MV-CU200-20UC adds Bayer GR 8 colour at the same 18 fps and resolution. MV-CU200-20GM retains Mono 8 and 5120 × 3840 but uses Gigabit Ethernet at 5.9 fps for a network-based machine layout. MV-CU120-10UM increases frame rate to 29.2 fps while reducing the raster to 4024 × 3036.

Selection and applications

Dense monochrome mark inspection. Indexed fine-edge measurement. Local USB texture analysis.

Minimum kit: The minimum setup is MV-CU200-20UM, a high-resolution C-mount lens covering 1/1.8 inch, and a USB 3.0 cable to the acquisition host.

Nearby in the range: MV-CU200-20UC — Prefer it when Bayer GR 8 colour is required at 5120 × 3840 and 18 fps; MV-CU200-20GM — Prefer it when a Gigabit Ethernet link is needed and 5.9 fps is sufficient; MV-CU120-10UM — Prefer it for 29.2 fps Mono 8 output when 4024 × 3036 is sufficient.

FAQ

Which high-detail inspections suit 5120 × 3840 Mono 8 output?

The dense monochrome raster supports feature-edge, mark, texture, and dimensional algorithms where colour is unnecessary. At 18 fps, MV-CU200-20UM can acquire after repeated indexed stops while preserving more spatial samples than MV-CU120-10UM.

What C-mount image circle is required for MV-CU200-20UM?

The camera uses a 1/1.8-inch AR2020 sensor behind a C-mount. Select a lens with coverage for that format and resolving performance for 1.4 µm pixels over 5120 × 3840. Then derive focal length from the station geometry.

Why is controlled motion important with this USB camera?

The AR2020 is a rolling-shutter CMOS sensor. If a target changes position while rows are read, geometry may vary through the frame. Holding the part or using an indexed sequence makes the 18 fps stream useful for repeatable high-resolution inspection.

What is the difference from the GigE MV-CU200-20GM?

MV-CU200-20UM transmits 5120 × 3840 Mono 8 over USB 3.0 at up to 18 fps. MV-CU200-20GM provides the same resolution and Mono 8 format over Gigabit Ethernet, with a maximum rate of 5.9 fps.

How much mounting space does the short AR2020 camera body occupy?

The housing measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and accepts C-mount optics. Its short depth suits a camera head near the acquisition computer, consistent with the USB 3.0 interface and local high-resolution image path.
