JAI
New Go-X Series – small, reliable and affordable area scan cameras
 JAI has introduced the Go-X Series, a new line of small industrial cameras providing extra reliability features, stringent dust screening, a starting price of €289, and a six-year warranty, the longest offered by any camera manufacturer.
The Go-X Series encompasses a total of 24 different models with a range of resolutions including 2.3, 3.2, 5.0, 8.9, and 12.4 megapixels.
Interface options include GigE Vision or USB3 Vision, supporting power-over-the-interface (PoE/PoUSB) or the use of separate power supplies connected via the I/O connector. For the image sensors, JAI has selected some of the most popular Sony Pregius CMOS global shutter sensors including monochrome and Bayer color versions at each resolution. Read more ›
KOWA OPTIMED
New Kowa 1.1″ 24MP Lens Series Optimised for Sony Sensors
 At the beginning of 2021 Kowa will introduce lenses with a transmission of 400-1700 nm. In this wavelength range, the lenses also have a reduced focus shift.
NIR-SWIR cameras and hyperspectral cameras can precisely analyze the reflection properties of materials over a wide range of wavelengths. This is often used in image processing for material inspection and sorting.
For example, during an inspection in the food industry: appearance inspection of fruit in the visual range and internal inspection at 1400 nm (illumination). Without a VIS-SWIR camera and optics, users may need to adjust the focus by changing the illumination and changing the lens. Read more ›
MIDWEST OPTICAL SYSTEMS
New MidOpt® 450nm Indigo Bandpass Filters
 Enhance viewing of subjects illuminated by a 450nm blue LED or laser light source.
MidOpt® introduces the BP450 Indigo Bandpass and the BN450 Narrow Indigo Bandpass, two new filters designed for multi-application use.
The MidOpt BP450 Indigo Bandpass Filter is commonly used in fluorescence applications with an emission ranging from (430-460nm). It is suitable for use with LED or laser diodes with higher than normal ambient lighting conditions.
The BP450 is an excellent choice for enhancing viewing of subjects illuminated by a 450nm blue LED. For UV Fluorescence applications, its broad bandwidth and high peak transmission results in significantly brighter, higher contrast images. Read more ›
SICK
Easy sensor solution for automated quality inspection
 SICK offers an easy solution for various quality assurance applications in factory automation with its new Quality Inspection SensorApp and InspectorP62x all-in-one vision sensor. The SensorApp is pre-installed in the entire InspectorP6xx series of 2D vision sensors from SICK, providing flexibility for varying application requirements.
High product and process quality are firmly established tasks in every production plant. Quality assurance also needs to be automated, especially in the context of advancing automation. While customers benefit from high-quality products, companies gain from increased production yield and speed with reduced reject rates and downtimes.

SVS-VISTEK
Small volume top performance: The FXO with nBase-T and 10GigE
 In the new FXO camera series, SVS-Vistek relies on the new Pregius S sensors from Sony, the powerful nBase-T and 10GigE interface. This very small 10GigE camera with C-mount is characterized by speed and an extraordinary image quality.
The new sensors deliver excellent image quality with a dynamic range of approximately 70 dB. Even with insufficient object lighting, when the camera is operated with a gain > 0, the images of the FXO series images show excellent homogeneity and exceptional quality. The basis for this is, on the one hand, the integrated Pregius S sensor with relatively small pixels of 2,74 x 2,74 µm and, on the other hand, a sophisticated heating concept. The heat distribution in a camera plays a decisive role in image homogeneity. Read more ›
