Benefits Of Irayple Line Scan

SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) line scan cameras, which provide specialized capabilities by imaging in the 0.9 to 1.7 micrometer wavelength range. These benefits are critical for applications where visible light is insufficient:

  • Material Differentiation: SWIR light interacts uniquely with different materials, allowing the cameras to distinguish between substances that look identical in visible light. This is invaluable for sorting various types of plastics for recycling, identifying contaminants in food, or verifying the authenticity of banknotes.
  • Moisture Detection: Water has strong absorption bands in the SWIR spectrum. SWIR cameras can precisely detect and quantify moisture content, which is crucial for applications like fruit screening (detecting bruises or ripeness), agricultural monitoring, and quality control in food processing or pharmaceutical manufacturing.
  • Penetration Capabilities: SWIR light can penetrate certain materials opaque to visible light, such as silicon wafers, some plastics, and inks. This enables internal inspection of components or products without damaging packaging.
  • Imaging Through Obstacles: SWIR can image through haze, mist, and some types of smoke, making it useful for outdoor surveillance or inspection in challenging industrial environments.
  • Enhanced Contrast: For specific materials and defects, SWIR imaging can provide much higher contrast than visible light, making defects more apparent and easier to detect.

Ultra-High Resolution Inspection:

  • 2K & 4K: These resolutions provide excellent detail for general web inspection (paper, textiles, films), PCB inspection, and surface defect detection, offering a balance of resolution and speed for many applications.
  • 8K & 16K: These are Irayple’s highest resolution line scan cameras, offering an immense pixel count across the line. This is particularly advantageous for:
    • Inspecting Large Objects with Minute Details: Ideal for very wide materials (e.g., large display panels, solar cells, wide format printing) where a single camera can cover the entire width with extreme precision.
    • Detecting Micro-Defects: The higher pixel density allows for the detection of extremely small flaws, particles, or inconsistencies that would be missed by lower-resolution cameras.
    • Precision Measurement: Essential for applications requiring highly accurate dimensional measurements and quality control in industries like electronics manufacturing (wafer, chip inspection), flat panel display production, and high-end printing.
    • High Throughput with Detail: Despite the high resolution, Irayple’s cameras maintain high line rates (some up to 180kHz for various resolutions), ensuring that detailed inspection doesn’t compromise production speed.

Overall

  • Advanced ISP Processing Algorithms: They incorporate sophisticated Image Signal Processing (ISP) algorithms such as FPN (Fixed Pattern Noise) calibration, Bayer Demosaicing (for color), space calibration, and TDI (Time Delay Integration), ensuring superior image performance and high-quality outputs.
  • Flexible Data Interfaces: Irayple line scan cameras support various high-speed data interfaces like GigE, Camera Link, 10GigE, and CXP-6, allowing for efficient transmission of high-frequency data and seamless integration into existing machine vision systems.
  • Compact and Modular Design: Their small dimensions and modular design facilitate easy installation even in narrow spaces and provide flexibility for system integrators.
  • Reliable Operation: Features like wide voltage input and robust construction contribute to stable and reliable operation in demanding industrial settings.
  • Enhanced Image Quality Features: Support for lossless compression, binning, and ROI (Region of Interest) can improve bandwidth utilization and image quality. Correction algorithms like PRNU (Photo Response Non-Uniformity) ensure uniform image brightness and prevent vertical lines.
