Industry automation solutions provider Omron Automation introduces the new SWIR camera series. Accordingly, it uses unique Short Wave Infrared technology to help overcome common manufacturing challenges.

By utilizing this latest technology, it delivers unmatched performance in capturing images and data. Thus, exceeding the capabilities of traditional cameras. The sensitivity to wavelengths beyond what the human eye can see opens doors to many applications across industries.

Manufacturers in general struggle with ambient lighting interfering with machine vision inspections. For that reason, Omron has introduced its latest SWIR camera series. By utilizing SWIR, vision engineers and system designers can remove the need to depend on traditional lighting. This is because they come integrated with highly controlled and precise inspection, removing variability.

In the Semiconductor and Electronic industries, post-manufacturing inspections require intrusive technologies. For that reason, SWIR revolutionizes this process by allowing inspectors to see through different visual spectrums. Hence, facilitating inspections of concealed items, even under plastic wrap or silicon coating.

Key Features

• Top-of-the-line, high-end sensors: Sony Pregius IMX990 and IMX991 SWIR Sensors
• Unique Interfaces for Customizability: GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, Camera Link Interfaces 0.3MP or 1.3MP resolution
