Specim FX19 This high-speed hyperspectral imaging camera from Specim, part of the Konica Minolta Group, operates in the near infrared range (NIR) of 1130 to 1920 nanometers, allowing it to identify materials by their molecular absorption features rather than their visual appearance. Applications include electronics recycling, foil and thin-film inspection, and sorting of plastics materials, such as PET, PVC, ABS, elastic materials, coatings and mixed plastics, where spectral overlap occurs in the traditional NIR region. The Specim FX19 is appropriate for industrial machine vision systems and scalable for multi-camera systems, enclosures and conveyor systems, as well as OEM deployments.
What’s new? The camera, which has been available for about six months.
Benefits Precise, high-throughput material identification in industrial environments, with 640-pixel spatial resolution, high sensitivity and fast frame rates. In addition, the camera is compact, consistent and reliable.
