Teledyne FLIR Forge 1Gige SWIR Camera Excels In Variety Machine Vision Applications

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 (Bernama) -- Teledyne FLIR IIS, a Teledyne Technologies company, has introduced the Forge 1GigE Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) 1.3 megapixel (MP) camera, the first in the series equipped with a wide-band and high-sensitivity Sony SenSWIR IMX990 InGaAs sensor.

Teledyne IIS General Manager, Sadiq Panjwani said the company is excited to introduce the Forge SWIR camera series to grow its imaging portfolio from the visible spectrum to SWIR wavelengths.

“The series expands on Teledyne’s SWIR line scan expertise to boost a range of 2D area scan applications such as industrial inspection, environmental monitoring, and recycling,” he said in a statement.

The advanced sensor captures images across both visible light and SWIR light spectrums (VisSWIR) with five micrometres (μm) pixels, providing an extended spectral range from 400 nanometre (nm) to 1700 nm.

This capability enhances anomaly detection and material analysis, making it ideal for applications such as industrial semiconductor inspection, food and beverage quality control, recycling, security surveillance, environmental monitoring, and precision farming, among others.

The new camera features a design that balances a compact size with superior image quality. Forge 1GigE SWIR includes advanced camera features such as Pixel Correction, Sequencer with Region of Interest (ROI), Logic Block, and Counter which provide reliable and precise control for a variety of complex applications.

All IIS cameras are supported by Teledyne software development kits (SDK) Spinnaker 4 and Sapera Processing and a powerful Trigger-to-Image Reliability (T2IR) framework.

This framework is a set of programmable functions within the Teledyne SDK that combine hardware and software features that work together at a system level to help improve the reliability and accuracy of inspection systems.
