The Bobcat 640 series is based on an in-house developed, temperature stabilised InGaAs detector with a 640 x 512 pixel resolution.
The Bobcat 640 cameras are offered with high frame rate of 100 Hz. The camera comes with a CameraLink or GigE Vision interface and features low weight and power.
Either for machine vision inspection or scientific research, the compact Bobcat 640 meets requirements of high sensitivity in the SWIR range. We offer a visible enhanced short-wave infrared (vSWIR) option for extended wavelength response into the visible band.

Polarized cameras are equipped with special image sensors and measure the polarization properties of light that are imperceptible to the human eye. The degree of polarization and the planes of polarization can be determined from a single image. Global shutter, high resolution, high optical dynamic range and high frame rate allow detailed structural analysis of even moving objects.
Despite the special sensors, the EXO Polarized is a standard industrial camera for use with standard lenses. The integrated 4-channel strobe controller supports complex lighting and analysis setups.
The successful EXO series is the shining basis of the EXO Tracer. The Tracer comes with identical camera features and additionally with a fully functional lens control (focus, zoom, aperture). Lens mount is a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount, covering all electric connections. Due to the size of the MFT Bayonet, the Tracer is a bit larger than the original EXO in dimensions. Still, the excellent thermal concept of the EXO qualifies for a operating temperature of up to 60°C.
All MFT lenses feature a specific beam geometry on the sensor side of the lens, which works in perfect harmony to sensors between 2/3″ and 1.2″. A nearly perfect flatfield is the compelling result. Together with up to 72dB dynamic range and up to 20 MP resolution, the Tracer delivers excellent image quality with its highly sensitive sensors.
The lens properties are integrated into the camera’s GenICam 3.0 tree, any GenICam-driven software is immediately able to use lens control without additional drivers. Same thing is valid for the integrated LED strobe control: All items adjustable via GenICam properties. This permits effortless and quick machine vision integration.
Tests at SVS-Vistek showed a surprising high repeatability of the lenses, even after 1 Mio focus cycles. Focus and zoom times are similar to what you know from lenses in photography.
The high resolution SHR series offers outstanding image quality. This is made possible by the excellent physical characteristics of large pixels in large format sensors. The thermally highly optimized housing guarantees highest optical precision. The large M72 lens mount (FFD 19,55) can be adapted to any lens.
