In the world of computer vision and non-destructive testing (NDT), the ability to detect materials invisible to the human eye is critical. We are proud to introduce the Specim FX19, a high-speed hyperspectral camera operating in the extended NIR/SWIR range of 1130–1920 nm. Designed specifically for demanding industrial environments, it combines high scanning speed with long-term robustness, making it ideal for inline inspection and scalable industrial machine-vision systems.
Why choose the Specim FX19?
The camera enables chemical “fingerprinting” of different materials, delivering a powerful combination of precision and advanced technical capabilities:
-
640 spatial pixels for detailed material detection.
-
Up to 527 fps to support fast conveyor lines without bottlenecks.
-
High sensitivity for reliable high-speed classification — even with challenging materials (low-noise TE-cooled InGaAs sensor; signal-to-noise ratio up to 1000:1).
-
Advanced image correction (AIE) and uniform spectral calibration help ensure consistent results across multiple units. Factory calibration guarantees long-term stability, making it ideal for scalable multi-camera installations.
-
GigE Vision interface combined with Specim SDK/APIs for straightforward integration into existing systems.
-
ROI and Binning options to optimize sensitivity and system throughput.
Typical Applications: Who is it for?
One of the FX19’s greatest strengths lies in its flexibility and wide application range. Thanks to its extended spectral coverage, it can penetrate layers and detect differences where standard NIR cameras may struggle:
-
Plastic sorting: Differentiating polymer types (e.g., PET, PVC, ABS) to improve sorting efficiency.
-
Textile recycling: Identifying fiber content and material blends, including natural vs. synthetic fibers.
-
E-waste recycling: Detecting coatings, fillers, and multi-layer structures to support advanced sorting and recovery processes.
-
Foil & thin-film inspection: Analyzing coatings and layered structures, detecting defects or inconsistencies.
-
Pharmaceuticals: Supporting identification of selected active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients in process and quality-control applications.
Summary
The Specim FX19 is more than just a camera — it is a powerful tool for process optimization and quality assurance. For organizations aiming to lead in innovation and precision across inspection and sorting applications, it represents one of the most advanced solutions currently available on the market.
