Matrix Vision
Cameras with UV-sensitive variants
The UV-sensitive global shutter CMOS sensor IMX487 from Sony integrated into the mvBlueCougar camera family from Matrix Vision with a sensitivity in the UV range from 200 to 400 nm opens up new application possibilities in industrial inspection, according to the supplier.
According to Matrix Vision, examples of applications include defect inspection in the semiconductor sector, the detection of different transparent materials in waste sorting or mold detection in food. The global shutter technology with backside illumination ensures distortion-free images of moving objects and high image quality thanks to optimum utilization of the pixel area. With a pixel size of 2.74 µm, the cameras achieve a resolution of 8.1 MPixel. In the GigE version mvBlueCougar-X, the camera achieves a frame rate of 25 fps at full resolution, while 147 fps is possible in the mvBlueCougar-XT with 10GigE interface. The sensor size of 2/3 inch enables the use of cost-effective UV-compatible lenses. The cameras are compatible with GenICam and GigE Vision.
