Omron STC-BBS163U3V 1.6 MP USB3 Monochrome Board Camera, Sony IMX273 Global Shutter, 238 fps
*Please note tariff fee is included in price*
1.6 MP Omron STC-BBS163U3V USB3 monochrome board camera with Sony IMX273 global shutter sensor, 1,440 × 1,080 resolution, and up to 238 fps for high‑speed industrial and embedded machine vision.
NDAA CompliantThe Omron STC-BBS163U3V (STCBBS163U3V) is a compact 1.6 MP monochrome USB3 Vision area camera designed for demanding machine vision, embedded inspection, and robotics applications where accurate capture of fast motion is critical. Featuring the Sony IMX273 global shutter CMOS sensor with 1,440 (H) × 1,080 (V) effective pixels and 3.45 µm pixel size, it delivers crisp, low‑distortion images at up to 238 fps over a USB 3.0 interface while consuming less than 2.0 W from standard USB bus power.
Its 26.8 × 26.8 mm board‑level design without a lens mount gives OEMs maximum flexibility to integrate custom optics and housings in space‑constrained systems deployed in factories and labs across the U.S., Canada, and other global manufacturing regions. Engineers can fine‑tune imaging with full‑frame and ROI readout, 1 µs–16.777 s exposure, analog and digital gain control, image flip, defective pixel correction, and up to eight user‑savable setting banks, simplifying deployment in automated inspection, metrology, and high‑speed monitoring lines.
