Specim FX19
High-Speed Hyperspectral Imaging in Extended NIR/SWIR (1130–1920 nm)
Identify and sort difficult materials at industrial speed.
The Specim FX19 brings hyperspectral imaging to the extended NIR/SWIR range with 640 spatial pixels and up to 527 fps, enabling accurate, repeatable material identification on fast conveyor lines and in demanding R&D environments. A TE-cooled InGaAs sensor, advanced image correction, and unified spectral calibration ensure consistent results across single- and multi-camera systems.
Useful for: plastics, textiles, paper/cardboard, e-waste, thin films/foils, and lab/R&D.

Features
- Extended NIR/SWIR coverage (1130–1920 nm) – reveals spectral contrast beyond standard NIR for tougher material classes and multilayers.
- Industrial throughput – up to 527 FPS (full spectral range) to keep pace with high-speed conveyor systems.
- High detail – 640 spatial pixels plus selectable ROI and binning (1/2/4 spectral & spatial) to balance resolution, speed, and SNR.
- Stable, comparable results – Unified spectral calibration, non-uniformity correction, bad-pixel replacement, and Automatic Image Enhancement (AIE) with corrected smile/keystone.
- Easy to integrate – GigE Vision/GenICam, shaft encoder sync (A, B, Z), TTL I/O, and a compact, robust form factor for multi-camera enclosures.
- Flexible optics – FOV options from 12° to 90° plus macro lens for close-range work.
