BlackEye

5 μm capable range

The solution for life sciences and medical technology

Hyperspectral Imaging Camera for challenging inspection in the MWIR range

The next-generation BlackEye hyperspectral imaging system combines a superior design and upgraded electronics in a rugged enclosure. With advanced sensor technology, this system delivers high performance over a wavelength range suitable for a variety of challenging applications such as properly sorting different types of black plastics.

High spectral resolution in the optimized 2.9 – 4.2 μm
(5 μm capable) range lets the BlackEye detect minute differences that other sensors cannot. Compatible with industry-leading perClass Mira®, the BlackEye can be deployed on the benchtop as well as in the factory. Perform real-time inspection and sorting at high speed.

Applications fields

hyperspectral_imaging_Inno-Spec_Recycling

Recycling industry

Whether it is household waste, construction waste or industrial waste: For an efficient circular economy, raw materials must be automatically and quickly removed from the waste stream and be sorted by type. HSI cameras from INNO-SPEC can provide support in this: They detect classes of material, coatings, contaminations and more.

Food processing industry

Mechanical cultivation and harvesting methods as well as global transport and supply chains present the entire food processing industry with new challenges. HSI cameras from INNO-SPEC help with quality assurance: For example, they can track down foreign bodies, measure the composition of ingredients, or find spoiled items.

Process control

In many industries, constant control of all production processes is essential to ensure the quality of intermediate and final products. It allows objective 100% control of all goods in real time. They detect ingredients, material identities, surface properties and much more.
