The camera provides a range of quality and inspection control applications by using thermal imaging and subsurface NIR inspection capabilities. The thermal imaging feature offers control over the quality for thermography and thermal processes in the range of 300-800˚C. The NIR imaging feature allows the camera to be used in waste sorting, food inspection, semiconductor industry and online quality control.
The Xenics Bobcat-1.7-320 camera can be used in various industrial imaging applications. This camera is an InGaAs detector that is highly sensitive, and it is ideal for application in low light level conditions. As the detector does not need cooling, it consumes very low power. The new NIR camera can be used together with light sources including 1.55 µm laser, if the task requires additional SWIR illumination.
The camera can be used with protective camera housings and standard C-Mount lenses. Other features of the NIR camera include computer connection through optional CameraLink or Ethernet connections and built-in digital signal processing. These features enable the camera to be used in demanding and restrictive industrial conditions. The Bobcat camera is offered with a graphical user interface for easy controlling and image capturing. The camera allows the movies and images to be stored in different file formats.
