Allied Vision has broadened the capabilities of its popular GigE Vision Alvium G1 camera series by introducing two new Sony SenSWIR sensors and a UV-sensitive CMOS sensor. This expansion significantly extends the spectral range, enabling imaging from 200nm to 1700nm. These cameras maintain their compact form factor (29 mm × 29 mm x 41 mm), making them among the smallest industrial SWIR and UV cameras available.

Key Sensor Highlights

SWIR Sensitivity

The Alvium G1-130 VSWIR and Alvium G1-030 VSWIR models feature Sony’s IMX990 (SXGA resolution) and IMX991 (VGA resolution) InGaAs-based SWIR sensors. These TEC-less SenSWIR sensors deliver high quantum efficiency across both visible and SWIR spectra, reducing system costs while enabling precision imaging in applications like semiconductor inspection.

Ultraviolet Sensitivity

The Alvium G1-812 UV model utilizes Sony’s 8 MP IMX487 CMOS sensor with backside illumination and global shutter. This industry-leading technology offers exceptional sensitivity down to ultraviolet wavelengths, ideal for battery inspection, forensic analysis, and other specialized applications.
