UV Cameras

Our UV cameras provide a novel approach to using ultraviolet light for object inspection. Conventional cameras lack sensitivity in the lower wavelength range and are restricted to the visible or infrared light spectrum. The majority of our standard cameras have the newest, most sensitive image sensors available, which operate in the 200–400 nm wavelength range. It has been possible to perform inspections and analyses that would not be feasible with standard cameras due to the ability to access lower wavelengths. When used in conjunction with our UV lenses, excellent imaging quality is guaranteed.

Below is a summary of every model we have. Additionally, more general information about the features and advantages of an industrial UV camera can be found at the bottom of this page. You can reach out to us with any questions you may have here.

UV Camera - A Powerful Tool for the Future

UV cameras allow you to see beyond visible light. With the use of this cutting-edge technology, machine vision gains a whole new dimension that enables you to examine objects from a variety of angles within the light spectrum.

UV cameras detect defects and features that are missed by standard cameras by using ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the human eye. This makes it possible to optimize processes and enhance quality control in a variety of industries.

Whether your goal is to improve product quality, optimize operations, or take a more proactive approach to maintenance, future applications with UV cameras will only increase due to their potent nature.

Benefits of UV Cameras

UV cameras provide a number of benefits for your machine vision system:

• Superior Defect Detection: Stricter quality control is possible because UV cameras can identify defects that are invisible to conventional techniques.
• Improved Material Sorting: Sorting efficiency is revolutionized by their capacity to differentiate materials based on UV properties.
• Efficient Maintenance: Preventive maintenance can be carried out to minimize downtime by proactively detecting issues that release UV radiation.
• Fast and Accurate: Advanced UV cameras capture distortion-free images of fast-moving objects on production lines.
• Compact Design: High pixel counts and small sizes of contemporary UV cameras make them simple to incorporate into pre-existing systems.

Revealing Hidden Defects

Given that UV light has a shorter wavelength than visible light, imperfections in the surface will catch its attention more. Compared to visible light, which has a wavelength between 400 and 780 nm, the ultraviolet wavelength in the light spectrum is shorter, ranging from 10 to 400 nm. The ideal UV wavelength for industrial inspections is between 200 and 400 nm, which is where our UV cameras are most sensitive.

For instance, this enables UV cameras to identify minute blemishes and imperfections that are imperceptible to the unaided eye or conventional camera systems. They are therefore perfect for examining materials like metal components or semiconductor wafers. UV cameras are able to identify objects made of transparent materials like PET and plastic. Materials can be arranged according to their distinct UV absorption signatures because UV rays absorb light at different rates.

Seeing Through Transparent Materials

UV cameras make it simpler to inspect clear coatings used in the production of electronics. UV light interacts with coatings and the underlying material differently, which presents challenges for traditional cameras. In order to guarantee quality control and detect uneven coatings, this can produce a sharp contrast that UV cameras can detect.

Material Sorting

Recycling facilities face difficulties in efficiently sorting transparent materials such as plastics and glass; UV cameras provide a solution. UV light is either transmitted or absorbed by various materials to varied degrees. UV cameras can effectively separate and distinguish materials in real-time by utilizing this property. Furthermore, some UV camera models use global shutter technology to capture distortion-free images of moving objects on sorting lines.

Predictive Maintenance for Power Systems

UV cameras are a useful instrument for power system inspections when used in conjunction with a thorough predictive maintenance plan. They can aid in the identification of possible issues by detecting the UV radiation released by some failing cables. Certain UV camera models have a high pixel count that enables them to take sharp pictures even in large outdoor areas.

More applications that utilize a UV Camera

UV cameras can be used for purposes other than those listed above. They might be employed in:

• Food and Beverage Inspection: Finding foreign materials in production lines, such as pieces of plastic.
• Pharmaceutical Inspection: Searching for differences in materials or markings on blister packs to detect possible tampering.
• Security Applications: UV-reactive inks are used to detect counterfeit money or forged documents.
• Fluorescence Detection: Liquids, such as glue, become invisible to the unaided eye when a specific tracer is added, but they become visible to our UV cameras. This allows you to quickly identify the use of glue during the fabrication process without compromising the final product's appearance for your clients.

Get-camera UV Camera Free SDK

For UV cameras, an SDK is available for free. This SDK makes it easy to control the camera, take pictures, and change settings. Example programs in the following languages are available in the SDK: DotNet, C, C++, and C#, Python, and more. This makes it possible for your software to integrate simply. The SDK is available for free download on our download page.
