Q1: What is the iBX-SWG991A/J SWIR camera used for?
A: The iBX-SWG991A/J is designed for SWIR imaging applications such as semiconductor inspection, moisture detection, material analysis, scientific research, and industrial machine vision.
Q2: What is the spectral range of this camera?
A: The camera operates in the 400–1700nm shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectrum, making it ideal for imaging beyond the visible light range.
Q3: What image sensor does the camera use?
A: It features the Sony IMX991 InGaAs sensor, delivering high sensitivity, low noise, and excellent image quality for demanding inspection tasks.
Q4: What is the maximum frame rate?
A: The camera supports up to 257.8fps at 640 × 512 resolution (8-bit), enabling high-speed imaging for fast-moving objects.
Q5: Does the camera use a global shutter?
A: Yes. The global shutter captures the entire frame simultaneously, eliminating motion distortion during high-speed inspections.
Q6: What are the benefits of the built-in TEC cooling system?
A: The integrated Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) system stabilizes the sensor temperature up to 25°C below ambient, reducing image noise and improving long-term imaging stability.
Q7: What interface does this camera support?
A: The camera features a GigE Vision interface, providing reliable long-distance image transmission and easy integration into industrial machine vision systems.
Q8: Which industries commonly use this SWIR camera?
A: It is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, electronics inspection, food and agriculture, scientific research, material analysis, and industrial automation.
