Typical applications

WAL-1001-GE SWIR line scan camera is a perfect fit for a wide range of machine vision applications.

Fruit and Vegetable Sorting and Grading

SWIR imaging uses C–H and O–H absorption bands to assess material composition and moisture content, enabling detection of contamination, foreign materials, and internal quality attributes such as bruising, ripeness variation, and early mold growth.

Wafer inspection

SWIR imaging enables high-speed wafer inspection to detect hidden cracks and subsurface damage in silicon, including defects introduced during wafer dicing.

Recycling

SWIR imaging enables reliable identification of plastics, paper, textiles, and composites on fast-moving conveyors, distinguishing visually similar polymers and detecting black or dark plastics beyond visible and NIR capabilities.

Pharmaceutical and fill level inspection

SWIR line scan imaging enables non-contact verification of liquid presence and fill levels through glass or plastic containers, using water-based absorption features to detect missing, underfilled, or inconsistent contents.

Plastic seal inspection

Line scan inspection in the short-wave infrared range enables reliable verification of heat seals in transparent or opaque plastic packaging on continuous production lines, supporting detection of seal defects such as bubbles, wrinkles, improper sealing, and closure strip irregularities that are difficult to identify using visible-light imaging.
