Stemmer Imaging's Xenics Bobcat thermography camera is an uncooled, compact NIR camera which packs a lot of functionality into its small size. The camera features an integrated DSP (digital signal processor) which allows for intelligent image processing in real time. The Bobcat is ideal for a wide range of applications in the area of quality control thanks to its thermal imaging and subsurface NIR capacities which are especially useful not only for in-line quality control applications, but also in food inspection and semiconductor manufacturing as well as waste sorting and recycling. The camera's thermal imaging capabilities are ideal for thermography between the temperatures of 300 and 800 degrees Celsius and for quality control applications involving thermal processes.
In the area of industrial imaging, the Xenics Bobcat's powerful sensors and advanced features make it a perfect fit for a wide variety of applications. The camera's InGaAs detector is ideal for environments with low levels of ambient light; and sine this camera requires no cooling, it also uses very little power. For applications which call for added SWIR illumination, additional sources of light like eye safe 1.55 µm lasers may be used.
The Bobcat's compact size, integrated DSP along with ethernet or optional CameraLink connections make it an excellent choice for use in industrial applications where space is at a premium. The camera is compatible with standard protective housings and C-Mount lenses and is controlled via a graphical interface on a connected PC which allows the user to easily control the camera's settings and acquire both still images and video, which may then be saved in several different formats.
The NIR imaging capabilities of the Xenics Bobcat allow the camera to gather information which cannot be found through imaging using the visible light spectrum. For instance, NIR imaging can detect the photon emissions which result from manufacturing defects in semiconductors, the sugar content of fruit and the degree of absorption of plastics, among other uses. This imaging technology can detect defects in a product which cannot be seen on the surface and even allows for inspection through packaging materials.
NIR imaging devices like the Xenics Bobcat can see through glass, unlike LWIR cameras; and the Bobcat's low sensitivity to emissivity changes makes it the perfect solution for thermographic imaging over a wide temperature range.
