LUXELL Series Linear Array MWIR Cameras
Product information "LUXELL Series Linear Array MWIR Cameras"
Detector Type Linear Array PbSe FPA; Spectral Range 1.0-5.0 µm; Pixel Size 600x60 µm; 256 Pixels; Resolution 1x256; Max. Line Rate 500 lps; Interface USB 2.0
New Infrared Technologies’ (NIT) LUXELL Series of line array MWIR (midwave infrared) cameras provide line rates of up to 300 lps (lines per second) at 1×256 pixels resolution – in uncooled operation.
The LUXELL CAMERA-S with IP67-rated housing is the plug-and-play industrial version featuring a USB 2.0 interface and industrial connector. The lens, with f/35 mm and CS-mount optical interface, is IP67-rated as well. The camera includes the LUXELL software suite and a development kit for LabVIEW. This ready-to-use system is well suited for the development of affordable solutions and integration in the customer’s production line.
The LUXELL CAMERA-S is based on the linear scanning array LUXELL CORE-S, an electronic module based on a microcontroller architecture, which includes the linear, 1x256 pixels LUXELL FPA (Focal Plane Array), 2-channel readout electronics (300 lines per second max), USB 2.0 output, and a powerful software suite and SDK for LabVIEW.
Though not housed in an industrial case, the LUXELL CORE-S module also is functionally plug and play, ready to read the FPA signal and ideal for the development of very cost-effective solutions based on the LUXELL FPA. With dimensions of 56 mm x 40 mm x 29.5 mm (without connector), the compact-size LUXELL CORE-S module enables full integration in Industry 4.0 applications and factories of future production lines.
For larger and two-dimensional array cameras from New Infrared Technologies, please refer to the TACHYON series of high-speed imaging MWIR cameras. And for applications requiring single-pixel MWIR detection, have a look at NIT’s LEPTON series of single-pixel VPD PbS MWIR detectors.
