High-Speed Extended NIR Hyperspectral Imaging
Specim has officially launched the Specim FX19, the newest addition to their high-performance FX series of industrial hyperspectral cameras! This new system extends the NIR wavelength range of the popular Specim FX17 up to 1920 nm, enabling deeper material discrimination and chemical analysis in real-time machine vision systems.
Designed for inline inspection and high-volume environments, the FX19 combines speed, sensitivity, and adaptability to accelerate deployment across a wide range of industries. The FX19 is supported by a comprehensive ecosystem of software and integration tools, including SDK and application programming interfaces that accelerate development and deployment of custom inspection solutions.
Specim FX19 Key Features and Benefits:
- Extended NIR/SWIR Range: Capturing valuable spectral information beyond conventional NIR cameras for advanced material identification.
- High Spatial Resolution: 640 spatial pixels for precise material differentiation.
- Fast Imaging Speeds: Up to 527 full frames per second supporting high-speed conveyor inspection.
- Low Noise & High Sensitivity: TE-cooled InGaAs sensor with high SNR and built-in Automatic Image Enhancement (AIE) and unified spectral calibration.
- Flexible Operation: Multiple ROI and binning options for optimized throughput and sensitivity.
- Standardized Connectivity: GigE Vision interface and software tools simplify integration with existing systems.
Designed for Real-World Industrial Applications
The FX19's high-performance capabilities and robust design makes it the ideal solution for material sorting, surface inspection and quality control tasks in applications such as:
- Plastics Sorting: Differentiate polymer types (eg. PET, PVC, ABS) to improve sorting yield.
- Textile Recycling: Identify fiber content and material blends.
- Electronics Recycling (e-waste): Detect coatings, fillers and multilayer structures to support sorting and recovery.
- Foil & Thin-film Inspection: Analyze coatings and layer structures and detect defects or inconsistencies.
- Pharmaceuticals: Support identification of select APIs and excipients in process and quality control applications.
“The Specim FX19 broadens the practical use of hyperspectral imaging from research to scalable industrial solutions. It unlocks new applications in recycling, electronics, thin films, and pharmaceuticals, while perfectly complementing our leading hyperspectral portfolio. Specim FX19 delivers clear customer value by enabling higher throughput, improved material identification, and faster deployment of hyperspectral solutions,” - Sami Toljamo, CCO of Specim.
