Allied Vision is expanding its powerful Alvium cameras series for machine vision applications with new models featuring Sony’s latest sensors with Sony’s SenSWIRTM Technology. Equipped with the 2nd generation SenSWIR InGaAs sensors IMX992 and IMX993, Alvium SWIR cameras deliver high resolution images at fast frame rates in a design offering small size, light weight, and low power consumption, including low cost (SWaP+C). The sensors will be available in Alvium cameras with either 5GigE Vision, USB3 Vision or with MIPI CSI-2 interface.
Allied Vision’s Alvium SWIR cameras are the smallest industrial-grade short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging devices on the market ideally suitable to build extremely compact systems for applications with limited space, such as handheld devices or drones.

Imaging in the visible and SWIR spectrum with a single camera
Alvium SWIR cameras support a spectral range from 400 nm to 1700 nm at high quantum efficiencies. This allows to capture images in both the visible and SWIR spectra with a single camera and enables users to reduce overall system costs. In combination with a high-precision sensor alignment at production time, inspection systems with highest requirements regarding image quality, resolution, and precision can be realized.
