              JAI’s multi-spectral prism cameras perform both visible and near-infrared (NIR) inspection simultaneously, by splitting incoming light to two separate sensors - a visible color channel from 400-700nm and an NIR channel from 750-900+nm.

              This makes it possible to use a single camera to simultaneously inspect both visible elements and sub-surface defects or other information that is optimally detected at NIR wavelengths.

              The multi-spectral cameras are ideal for inspecting currency, textiles, circuit boards, and organic items such as fruit and vegetables.

              • Two-in-one camera: Multi-spectral cameras allows users to replace multiple inspection cameras with a single set up.
              • Ease-of-use: JAI multi-spectral cameras offer ease-of use and lower equipment and maintenance costs.
              • The 2-sensor HDR cameras enable the capture of full linear high dynamic range image data.

            • Monochrome and trilinear line scan cameras with fast scan rates and high image quality

              JAI’s Sweep Series includes both monochrome and trilinear color line scan cameras with line rates that are among the fastest available for their type and resolution.

              The Sweep SW-4000TL-PMCL trilinear model delivers outstanding color line scan images for applications that don’t require the ultimate image precision provided by the Sweep+ Series.
              The SW-4000TL model features a maximum line rate of 66 kHz, making it one of the fastest 3 x 4096 color line scan cameras on the market.

              Among the features are vertical and horizontal binning and built-in color space conversion not available on similar trilinear cameras.

              The Sweep SW-4000M-PMCL and Sweep SW-8000M-PMCL are two fast monochrome line scan cameras. The SW-4000M-PMCL has 4096 pixels per line and runs up to 200 kHz (200,000 lines/s), while the SW-8000M-PMCL offers 8192 pixels per line at a maximum line rate of 100 kHz (100,000 lines/s).

              • A set of built-in color space conversion functions to provide image output in a range of standard formats (SW-4000TL model).
              • Applications requiring extra sensitivity and minimum readout noise can benefit from the unique binning capabilities (SW-4000TL model).
              • Supports direct connection from encoder to camera to minimize cabling and reduce the occurrence of dropped line data (SW-4000TL model).
              • The SW-8000M-PMCL monochrome model features 1 x 8192 pixels delivering a line rate of 100,000 lines/s (100 kHz).

              The Sweep+ Series comprises 3-sensor R-G-B and 4-sensor R-G-B-NIR line scan cameras for industrial machine vision applications.

              They features state-off-the-art prism technology providing the best possible performance, precision, and versatility for line scan imaging in continuous production flows.

              Typical applications include high-speed web inspection of paper, plastic, film, textiles, tile and lumber, as well as color print inspection and inspection in the food processing industry. The CMOS sensors are precisely-aligned on a beam-splitter prism to a common optical path providing higher color precision and solutions that are easy to set up.

              Sweep+ Series cameras equipped with four CMOS sensors are designed to simultaneously capture R-G-B color image data in the visible light spectrum and image data in the near infrared (NIR) light spectrum.

            • Wave Series

            • Prism-based dual-sensor InGaAs line scan cameras for Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) imaging

              The Wave Series camera is a 2-sensor prism line scan camera capable of sensing Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) light.

              The camera is based on Indium/Gallium /Arsenide (InGaAs) sensor technology and combined with JAI’s prism line scan technology, making it capable of delivering dual-band imaging in the SWIR light spectrum (900 – 1700 nm).

              Multi-sensor camera technology is a JAI core competence and over the years JAI has delivered cameras covering RGB and NIR into various applications.

                      For many years, most machine vision systems only operated in black-and-white. Even today, the majority of machine vision applications are still monochrome. Yet there are a growing number of applications where color imaging is both required andcan provide significant advantages.

                      The use of color in machine vision applications has increased significantly in the past ten years. This has been accompanied by steady improvements in both the camera technology and the algorithms to support color machine vision applications. As a result, many more machine vision system designers are finding themselves facing new challenges as they embark on building systems where color is a critical factor.

                      Read on to learn more about the unique characteristics of color imaging in machine vision and find out which color imaging machine vision technologies best suit your application requirements.

                    • Advanced color microscopy solutions for life sciences and industrial applications.

                      It is often said that the world gets smaller every day. For designers of vision systems, that phrase takes on a special meaning as increasing numbers of today’s vision systems must concern themselves with microscopic details. Tasks which once might have been performed manually by a single individual with an optical microscope, are now being performed faster and with higher accuracy and repeatability than ever before by combining microscopy with digital cameras and sophisticated image capture and analysis software.  

                      These microscope-based machine vision systems can be found in a wide range of life sciences applications, as well as in industrial applications ranging from semiconductor inspection to materials science to failure analysis and QA.

                      For many of these digital microscopy systems, the capture and analysis of color information is critical to meeting the application’s goals. Thus, the system’s camera or cameras, which serve as the “eyes” of the system, must be able to provide the right levels of both spatial and color information to enable the software “brain” of the system to perform its function.

                      Read on to learn more about digital microscopy solutions and how various camera capabilities can be utilized to meet your application requirements.

                    • Tech Guide: Multispectral Imaging

                    • Multispectral imaging for medical and industrial machine vision systems

                      Just as machine vision systems have evolved from traditional monochrome cameras to many systems that now utilize full color imaging information, there has also been an evolution from systems that only captured broadband images in the visible spectrum, to those that can utilize targeted spectral bands in both visible and non-visible spectral regions to perform more sophisticated inspection and analysis.

                      The color output of the cameras used in the machine vision industry today is largely based on Bayer-pattern or trilinear sensor technology. But imaging is moving well beyond conventional color where standard RGB is not enough to carry out inspection tasks. Some applications demand unconventional RGB wavelength bands while others demand a combination of visible and non-visible wavelengths. Others require exclusively non-visible wavelengths such as UV, NIR or SWIR, with no wavebands in the visible spectrum.

                      Complex metrology and imaging applications are beginning to demand higher numbers of spectral channels or possibilities to select application-specific spectral filtering at high inspection throughputs. With the traditional machine vision industry merging with intricate measurement technologies, consistent, reliable, high-fidelity color and multispectral imaging are playing key roles in industrial quality control.

                      Multispectral cameras capture image data at specific frequencies across the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelengths may be separated by filters or using instruments which are sensitive to specific wavelengths, including light from frequencies beyond our visible sight, such as infrared. Spectral imaging also allows for extraction of additional information which the human eye fails to capture.

                      Read on to learn more about multispectral imaging solutions and how various camera capabilities can be utilized to meet your application requirements.
