In this month edition:
Kaleido integrates sensor and spectrograph into a single unit while keeping the lens interface open - and it sets a new performance benchmark for SWIR hyperspectral cameras. With twice the spatial resolution, four times the acquisition speed, and ten times the light sensitivity of previous-generation platforms, it solves applications in food, recycling, pharmaceuticals, wood, moisture measurement, and chemical composition analysis that were simply out of reach before.
Running a 600W NVIDIA Blackwell GPU reliably outside a server room requires a different class of compute hardware. The Nuvo-10109GC is built for exactly that: sustained full-rated GPU output across a wide 9V to 32V DC input range, in a reinforced chassis validated to MIL-STD-810H for vibration and shock - suited to mobile platforms, transportation, and demanding deployments.
Receiving a compute platform and getting it running are two different things. System Services bridge that gap: hardware arrives from our Manufacturing & Customisation team - ready assembled, configured, and tested to the level your project requires - with standardised processes and comprehensive documentation to support traceability requirements from the outset.
Industrial SWIR and hyperspectral imaging demand stable lens performance across a wide spectral range. The Kowa LM-HC-VIS-SWIR series is corrected from 450 to 2000 nm, helping reduce chromatic focus shift. With C-mount design, six focal lengths from 8 to 50 mm, and optimisation for 1.1" class SWIR sensors, the series supports flexible integration in modern SWIR and hyperspectral camera setups.
Reliable hyperspectral inspection depends as much on the light source as on the camera. As part of the CCS LNSP series, this broadband SWIR LED line light is designed for applications where spatially and spectrally uniform illumination is critical, including thin-film thickness measurement based on reflected-light interference and HSI inspection where wavelength-dependent variation can affect classification accuracy.
