CoaXPress Vision Camera Sony IMX992 SWIR Sensor

The MER3-533-170X2M-SWIR is a high-performance 5-megapixel CoaXPress SWIR industrial camera designed for advanced machine vision applications. This camera offers high image quality and high-speed data transmission, making it suitable for demanding industrial inspection, scientific research, and medical imaging tasks.

By using a CoaXPress 2.0 interface, the camera delivers high-resolution images at high frame rates with a stable and fast connection between the camera and the frame grabber. The camera is quipped with the Sony IMX992 global shutter SWIR image sensor, enabling image acquisition in both the visible and SWIR spectrum. To make full use of the sensor, the camera is equipped with a C-mount lens interface.

The CoaXPress SWIR camera is interesting for your application when the following conditions apply:

·         An industrial CoaXPress camera is required

·         Dimensions: 29 x 29 x 34

·         C-mount lens interface

Monochrome SWIR Industrial CoaXPress Camera

A monochrome SWIR camera is also referred to as a Visible-SWIR camera and offers advantages in a wide range of industrial vision applications Visible light typically ranges from 400nm to 790nm, while infrared light starts above 780nm. The portion of infrared light closest to the visible spectrum is known as Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR).

The Sony IMX992 SWIR image sensor used in the MER3-533-170X2M-SWIR is designed to capture light from the visible spectrum through SWIR wavelengths, allowing the camera to acquire image data over a broad spectral range. This makes it possible for the camera to replace a traditional visible camera + SWIR camera dual-camera setup, reducing system cost, simplifying integration, improving processing speed, and potentially expanding the detectable feature range.

Applications for Monochrome CXP SWIR Cameras

Monochrome SWIR CXP cameras are used in a variety of industrial and scientific applications, including

-          Semiconductor Inspection, where SWIR imaging reveals defects not visible in the visible spectrum

-          Inspection in moist or wet conditions, as water becomes opaque around 1450nm due to absorption

-          Material differentiation, where materials such as plastics, metals, or composites appear similarly in visible light but show clear contrast differences in SWIR spectrum

-          Wafer inspection, AOI inspection, spot inspection, and medical inspection

MTBF, Warranty & Product Life Cycle

Daheng Imaging produces more than 100.000 industrial cameras according to the highest quality standard. The cameras have a mean time between failure (MTBF) exceeding 400.000 hours (45 years, 24/7).

The industrial camera is certified by TÜV Rheinland and have a 5-year warranty. After market introduction, every camera model is available for at least 7 years. Most cameras have a much longer product life cycle. For more information about our product life cycle management, check this article.
