Right angled camera

Our industrial right angled cameras are developed for machine vision and computer vision projects with limited installation space. The lens mount is 90-degree rotated, therefore a good solution in applications where there is little space in height. The total length of the lens and camera is shorter since the C-mount lens thread is located inside the right angled camera housing. A total reduction in height of 50mm is possible, because the cables are mounted on the side of the 90-degree industrial right angled camera.

SWIR camera

SWIR cameras were introduced to the field of machine vision to augment the existing imaging technology and enhance precision and accuracy. They have the capability to reveal and detect objects that are otherwise inaccessible to the visible spectrum. Our SWIR cameras are Visible-SWIR, meaning that they can detect not only the SWIR range but also the visible field, eliminating the need of two separated cameras.

The SWIR cameras can be used for a variety of applications such as moisture detection, semiconductors inspection or distinguishing different materials types. Besides the typical visible SWIR cameras, we offer SWIR cameras with the TEC cooling technology with the option of a fan. Using one of our Visible-SWIR lenses is highly recommend to pair with your Visible-SWIR camera. Our SWIR lenses in different focal lengths can be found here: SWIR lenses.
