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 come with GigE Vision interface and offer high frame rates up to 400 Hz. The new and improved Bobcat+ 320 now comes with two gain modes (high gain and high dynamic range) and two read out modes (IWR or ITR). Moreover, a vSWIR version is also available.

The Bobcat+ 320 targets machine vision, safetey and security, scientific research, and process monitoring.

Benefits & Features
