Description
In the realm of industrial equipment, the demand for camera-based inspections is steadily increasing, with stringent performance requirements. Ultraviolet (UV) industrial cameras are gaining prominence as they leverage UV lighting and UV-compatible lenses to capture special visual information unattainable by standard visible-light cameras.
Ultraviolet light, with shorter wavelengths than visible light, excels in revealing minute defects and imperfections invisible in the visible spectrum. UV cameras are also adept at identifying transparent materials, like plastic and PET, which may be challenging to differentiate under visible light due to varying UV absorption rates. This technology holds great promise for material sorting and diverse industrial applications.
Balluff's latest industrial camera, the IMX487, is purpose-built to capture the UV spectrum, spanning 200–400 nm. This UV segment caters to industrial needs, offering high-performance UV imaging capabilities for defect detection and beyond.
