Xenics Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) Bobcat 320 Series

The Bobcat 320 series is based on an in-house developed, temperature stabilised InGaAs detector with a 320 x 256 pixel resolution.

The Bobcat 320 cameras are offered with frame rates of either 100 Hz or 400 Hz. The camera comes with a CameraLink or GigE Vision interface and features low weight and power.

The Bobcat 320 targets cost sensitive volume markets such as laser beam analysis applications, sorting & recycling industry and investigation of defects inside silicon semiconductor material.

Benefits & Features

• Flexible and easy-to-use
• CameraLink or GigE Vision interfacing options
• Low dark current
• Small SWIR area-scan camera
