JAI is proud to introduce Flex-Eye – a new and innovative camera concept giving vision system designers the ability to customize the widths and location of wavebands in JAI's Fusion Series 2-CMOS and 3-CMOS prism-based multispectral cameras.
By combining the Flex-Eye customization process with our existing Fusion Series prism-based cameras, customers can now design a multispectral camera that looks at specific visible and near infrared waveband ranges to meet the exact requirements of their vision applications.
Flex-Eye - multispectral area scan cameras
This new approach will make vision inspection tasks or other multispectral imaging applications even more efficient and productive because a 2-CMOS or 3-CMOS camera fine-tuned to look at targeted wavebands (designed for a particular application) can reveal new and additional imaging information that otherwise can be hidden
Flex-Eye target customers:
Fusion Series Flex-Eye cameras will appeal to customers in several different application markets where multispectral imaging is being used today, but where new waveband combinations can lead to new or improved capabilities. A few of the most common application segments are:
- Fluorescence-guided surgery, pathology, or other life sciences applications.
- Food and vegetable sorting/inspection.
- Agriculture and vegetation analysis or weed removal systems.
- Package inspection, especially printed plastic packages.
- Multi-layer electronic circuit board inspection.
As a customizable product, the sales process is a bit different than for a standard Fusion Series model or other JAI cameras. A customer-specific Fusion Series Flex-Eye camera must first be defined and submitted to JAI to make sure that it can be built.
To make it easy to define and visualize the custom waveband cuts needed, JAI has developed an online Flex-Eye configurator.
A few clicks or taps specifies the number of sensors, the resolution, and whether Bayer or monochrome sensors are to be used in the visible spectrum.
An intuitive GUI lets users place, stretch, or shrink their wavebands on a simple spectral chart with built-in validation rules helping to guide the user to a working configuration.
