Allied Vision Expands Alvium G1 Camera Series with Wider Spectral Range
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.
