UV Industrial Camera
The UV industrial camera offers a novel method for detecting objects using ultraviolet light. Standard cameras are limited to the visible spectrum or infrared light, lacking sensitivity to lower wavelengths. Our camera, equipped with the latest image sensor, captures images in the invisible spectrum with a wavelength range of 0.2µm to 0.4µm, enabling inspections and analyses that are not possible with standard cameras due to its ability to access lower wavelengths. The camera features GigE and USB 3.0 interfaces, supporting high data transfer volumes and compatibility with both industrial PCs and embedded systems. In industry, UV cameras are commonly used in areas such as fluorescence analysis, spectroscopic analysis, ballistic analysis, high-speed fluid analysis, astronomical research, high-resolution microscopy, corona detection, semiconductor inspection, and non-destructive testing.
UV Camera - A Powerful Tool in Machine Vision
Use a UV industrial camera to view beyond the visible spectrum. This innovative technology opens up new dimensions in machine vision, enabling you to inspect objects from a whole new perspective within the spectrum.
Ultraviolet cameras utilize ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the naked eye, to reveal defects and features that cannot be detected when using standard cameras. This opens the door to improving quality control and process optimization in various industries.
Whether you hope to streamline operations, enhance product quality, or adopt a more proactive maintenance approach, ultraviolet cameras provide a powerful tool that will be increasingly used in the future.
●Excellent Defect Detection: Ultraviolet cameras can reveal defects that are invisible to traditional methods, enabling stricter quality control.
●Enhanced Material Sorting: Their ability to distinguish materials based on UV characteristics has revolutionized sorting efficiency.
●Efficient Maintenance: Proactively detecting issues that emit ultraviolet radiation allows for preventive maintenance and reduces downtime.
●Fast and Accurate: Advanced UV cameras can capture distortion-free images of fast-moving objects on the production line.
●Compact Design: Modern UV cameras offer a high pixel count in a compact size, making them easy to integrate into existing systems.
Advantages of UV Cameras
———— Unique Advantages of UV Cameras ————
Revealing Hidden Defects
UV light has shorter wavelengths (10 - 400 nm) than visible light (400 - 780 nm), making it more sensitive to surface irregularities. Our UV cameras, sensitive to 200 - 400 nm wavelengths (optimal for industrial inspection), are ideal for inspecting semiconductor wafers, metal parts, and can detect transparent materials like plastic and PET. Materials can be classified by their unique UV absorption characteristics due to varying UV light absorption rates.
Application in Transparent Materials
Using UV cameras makes it easier to detect the transparent coatings used in electronic manufacturing. Problems that might be difficult for traditional cameras to handle can be solved as ultraviolet light interacts differently with the coatings and underlying materials. This can create a clear contrast, enabling UV cameras to identify uneven coatings and ensure quality control.
Application in Material Sorting
For recycling facilities, effectively sorting transparent materials such as plastics and glass is a challenge, and ultraviolet cameras can be of assistance. Different materials absorb or transmit ultraviolet light to varying degrees. By leveraging this property, UV cameras can efficiently distinguish and separate materials in real-time. Additionally, due to the use of global shutter technology, some models of UV cameras can capture images of fast-moving objects on the sorting line without distortion.
Predictive Maintenance in Power Systems
Ultraviolet cameras can be a valuable tool for inspecting power systems as part of an integrated predictive maintenance strategy. By detecting the ultraviolet radiation emitted by certain degraded cables, they can help identify potential problems. The high pixel count of some UV camera models allows them to capture clear images even in vast outdoor spaces.
What other applications can our UV camera offer?
Food and Beverage Inspection
Detect foreign objects such as plastic fragments in production lines.
Pharmaceutical Inspection
Identify potential tampering of blister packs by looking for changes in materials or markings.
Security Applications
Detect forged documents or counterfeit currency using UV-reactive inks.
Fluorescent Defect Detection
Adding special tracers to liquids such as glue makes them invisible to the naked eye but clearly visible under our UV camera. This allows you to easily identify the application of glue during the manufacturing process without affecting the final product's appearance to customers.
