Hikrobot MV-SC1003C

Colour inspection tasks and neighbours

Colour-sensitive presence, size and counting checks are the working domain of MV-SC1003C. Its colour CMOS sensor records 640 × 480 images through a global shutter at up to 15 fps, with 3.74 µm pixels on a 1/6-inch sensor. A fixed 3.1 mm optical path, M5.8 mount and white LED make a compact imaging head, while exposure adjustment from 60 µs to 7000 µs supports changes in line motion and illumination.

The onboard tool set covers color measurement, color size, color count and color contrast as well as edge, contour, diameter and line measurements. This makes the unit applicable to component-presence, colored-part sorting and basic dimensional decisions at moderate cycle rates. Fast Ethernet carries data, while the green terminal combines 12–24 V DC power, one input, one output and one RS-232 port for triggering and result exchange.

MV-SC1003M keeps the same 640 × 480 resolution, 15 fps rate and 3.1 mm optics but uses a mono sensor, so it fits grayscale and edge-led decisions rather than color discrimination. MV-SC1008M remains mono and 15 fps but increases sampling to 1024 × 768 with a 4.9 mm focal length. Choose MV-SC1003C when color tools are decisive; choose MV-SC1008M when the higher mono pixel grid matters more.

Selection and applications

Colored-part presence checks. Color and contour counting. Triggered compact-cell measurement.

Minimum kit: The minimum setup is MV-SC1003C with its 3.1 mm M5.8-mount optics and white LED, a Fast Ethernet cable, terminal wiring and a 12–24 V DC supply.

Nearby in the range: MV-SC1003M — Prefer it for mono processing at the same 640 × 480 resolution and 15 fps; MV-SC1008M — Select it when mono 1024 × 768 sampling and a 4.9 mm focal length fit the scene; MV-SC2004EC — Use it when color capture at 60 fps, an M12 mount and IP65 protection are needed.

FAQ

Which inspections make direct use of the MV-SC1003C color channel?

Its tools include color measurement, color size, color count and color contrast. Those functions sit alongside spot, edge, contour, circle and line existence checks, so a solution can combine color discrimination with geometry or presence logic.

How does the global shutter help MV-SC1003C with moving parts?

The CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, so the full 640 × 480 frame is exposed together rather than line by line. Exposure can be set from 60 µs to 7000 µs and acquisition reaches 15 fps, supporting triggered capture of parts moving through a fixed view.

What optics and illumination are integrated into MV-SC1003C?

The sensor lists a 3.1 mm focal length on an M5.8 mount and includes a white LED source plus one aiming LED. Its 1/6-inch CMOS format and 3.74 µm pixel pitch define the image-side geometry that must be checked against the required object area.

How are trigger, result and network signals wired on MV-SC1003C?

Image and configuration traffic use 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet. The green terminal carries 12–24 V DC power, one Line 0 input, one Line 1 output and one RS-232 channel. A top trigger button can also initiate the device.

What separates MV-SC1003C from the mono MV-SC1003M variant?

Both variants list 640 × 480 resolution, 15 fps, a global shutter, 3.1 mm focal length and white LED illumination. MV-SC1003C is the color version and adds color-oriented measurement, counting and contrast functions; MV-SC1003M is mono.
