Teledyne Dalsa
SWIR hyperspectral camera for industrial high-speed inspection
Teledyne Dalsa launches 'Kaleido', a hyperspectral camera for use in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) range, designed to overcome the existing integration and performance limitations of industrial sorting processes.
The camera is aimed at critical applications in the fields of recycling, food safety, pharmaceuticals and waste management. It is equipped with a sensor, a spectrograph and an interface and offers a spatial resolution of up to 1280 pixels at line rates of over 2.3 kHz. With integrated spectral band selection and spectrograph-based aberration correction, the camera simplifies the user experience by ensuring consistent calibration of all devices across the entire operating temperature range, according to the manufacturer. In addition, proven features from the company's line scan camera product families, such as metadata tagging and multiple regions of interest (ROI), have been integrated to ensure that only the most relevant data is transmitted for processing, ensuring maximum efficiency.
The camera has a 10GigE interface that is fully compatible with the GigE Vision and GenICam standards. The Kaleido sensor, which is optimized for high sensitivity, ensures high signal integrity even in poor lighting conditions and thus enables the effective use of modern, energy-efficient SWIR LED lighting.
