Dynacolor 8MP, 13fps, Ultraviolet IMX487 GigE Camera

Dynacolor Ultraviolet IMX487 GigE Camera

The FE-N9-U camera captures high-resolution images within the 200-400nm UV (ultraviolet light) spectrum. This capability is critical for applications like semiconductor wafer inspection, where UV light reveals minute surface imperfections, and in forensic analysis, it can detect otherwise hidden substances. Moreover, the sensor enables precise sorting of materials based on their UV fluorescence or absorption characteristics, enhancing efficiency in recycling and industrial sorting processes.

Application Examples

Materials Sorting

UV imaging reveals distinct differences between materials like polystyrene (PS) and acrylic resin (PMMA), which appear identical under visible light. This allows for precise material sorting and foreign material detection.

High Voltage Power Cable Inspection

UV imaging captures the faint UV emissions from electrical arcs, revealing degradation points in high-voltage equipment. This enables rapid identification and repair, minimizing downtime.

Hydrogen Flames Inspection

UV imaging reveals hydrogen flames, which are invisible to the naked eye. This is essential for safety and leak detection in the hydrogen industry.
