JAI has introduced three new CMOS cameras in its Go Series, designed to enhance vision system capabilities by providing specialized ultraviolet (UV) imaging features. These cameras incorporate the same Lince5M imager as seen in the GO-5000 product line but are optimized for sensitivity in the UV spectrum through specific modifications.

Key enhancements include replacing the standard protective glass with quartz glass, which allows full transmission of UV wavelengths while maintaining sensor protection. Additionally, a double anti-reflective (AR) coating on the quartz cover further maximizes light transmission and minimizes reflections.

Measuring small and compact, these Go Series cameras are ideal for UV-A and UV-B applications (300 nm to 400 nm), offering an economical alternative to larger sCMOS-based UV cameras. With a resolution of 2560 x 2048 pixels (5.2 megapixels), they deliver the highest resolution available in current UV camera technology.

Interface Options

Users can choose from three distinct interface configurations tailored to various application requirements:

  • GO-5000M-PGE-UV: Features a GigE Vision interface with 22 fps speed, ideal for applications requiring long cable lengths and high bandwidth.
  • GO-5000M-PMCL-UV: Equipped with a Mini Camera Link interface supporting up to 107 fps, perfect for high-speed imaging in compact setups.
  • GO-5000M-USB-UV: Offers USB3 Vision connectivity at 62 fps, providing flexibility for portable and integrated systems.

All models support power delivery through their interfaces. The GigE Vision and USB3 Vision variants can also draw power from a Hirose I/O connector with a 6-pin configuration.

Standard Features

The cameras come equipped with standard functionalities such as:

  • Binning options (2X or 4X) for enhanced sensitivity in low-light conditions, including UV environments.
  • Flexible ROI modes to allow users to focus on specific regions of interest during imaging tasks.
  • Built-in high dynamic range (HDR) functions to capture detailed images across varying lighting scenes.

Typical Applications

These cameras are well-suited for a wide array of industrial and scientific applications:

  • UV laser calibration for precision alignment in manufacturing processes.
  • Surface inspection of metals and plastics, detecting flaws invisible under standard light wavelengths.
  • UV microscopy, enabling non-invasive analysis across life sciences, forensics, and materials research.
  • Authentication tasks such as print verification on pharmaceutical packaging, passports, and banknotes.
  • Dermatology imaging for analyzing skin conditions with enhanced UV sensitivity.
  • Solar panel inspection to identify defects that may not be visible under normal light.
