Industrial Applications

1. High-Speed Defect Detection in Manufacturing

This camera is ideal for rapidly identifying microscopic defects on fast-moving production lines, such as those for semiconductor wafers, electronic components, or pharmaceutical packaging.

Problem Solved

The 180 fps frame rate combined with 4 MP resolution allows for detailed inspection of objects moving at high speeds, minimizing blur with the global shutter. The NIR-enhancement can detect defects invisible to the human eye or standard visible light cameras, like subsurface anomalies in silicon or fill levels in opaque containers. The Camera Link interface ensures the necessary high-bandwidth data transfer.

2. Automated Sorting and Classification of Materials

The camera can accurately sort and classify materials (e.g., plastics, recycling materials, agricultural products) based on subtle surface characteristics or internal properties.

Problem Solved

The 4 MP resolution provides sufficient detail for distinguishing fine textures or patterns. The NIR-enhanced sensor is crucial for differentiating materials based on their spectral absorption in the near-infrared range, which is often unique to different material compositions (e.g., plastic types). The high frame rate enables rapid throughput in sorting operations.

3. Industrial Metrology and Precision Measurement

Suitable for precise non-contact measurements and dimensional checks of small or intricate components in demanding industrial environments.

Problem Solved

The 4 MP resolution and 5.5 µm pixel size provide high spatial accuracy for metrology tasks. The global shutter ensures distortion-free images of objects, even with slight vibration or motion, which is critical for accurate measurements. Its compact size allows integration into space-constrained measurement setups. The IP30 rating indicates suitability for controlled industrial environments, and the operating temperature range covers typical factory conditions.
