Omron Sentech STC-RCS163U3V-UM12 USB3 Vision Remote-Head Color Camera

The Omron Sentech STC-RCS163U3V-UM12 is a compact yet powerful 1.6 megapixel USB 3.0 color remote-head area-scan camera, engineered for high-speed machine vision and precision industrial imaging. It features the Sony IMX273 CMOS global shutter sensor, delivering beautiful and distortion-free color images at up to 236–238 fps.

Designed with adaptability in mind, this camera employs a top-mounted 2.5 m cable in a remote-head form factor to allow easy integration into robotics, embedded systems, and space-constrained setups.  The USB3 Vision 1.0.1-compliant interface guarantees fast, plug-and-play data transmission, and is powered via the USB bus for simplicity and efficiency.

Key Features:

• 1.6 MP Resolution (1,440 × 1,080) — High-clarity, color imaging for detailed inspection and analysis

• Sony IMX273 Color CMOS Sensor with Global Shutter — Delivers distortion-free images even in fast-moving environments 

• High Frame Rate — Captures up to 236–238 fps (8-bit) for ultra-rapid imaging workflows.

• Remote-Head Design — Ultra-compact sensor head (dimensions approximately 18 × 18 × 21.7 mm) connected via a 2.5 m top-mounted cable for maximum placement flexibility.

• USB3 Vision Interface — High-speed, plug-and-play data transfer with USB bus power (< 4 W)

• Advanced Imaging Controls — Includes ROI, full scan, exposure control (1 µs to 16.7 s), analog/digital gain, gamma adjustment, image flip, white balance, and defective pixel correction.

• Compact & Lightweight — Designed for seamless integration into robotics, embedded vision systems, and portable equipment.

• Industrial Reliability — Built with S‑mount optics, durable connectors, and minimal optical filtering for high performance in demanding environments
