JAI has introduced Flex-Eye, an innovative camera concept designed specifically for vision system designers. This new feature allows customization of waveband size and location in JAI’s Fusion Series 2-CMOS and 3-CMOS prism-based multispectral cameras.

By integrating the Flex-Eye customization process with existing Fusion Series prism-based cameras, vision system designers can now create tailored multispectral cameras that focus on specific visible and near-infrared waveband ranges. This flexibility ensures precise alignment with the exact requirements of their vision applications.

With Flex-Eye, designers can customize both the spectral locations and widths of individual wavebands if they do not fit the default settings in JAI’s Fusion Series standard models.

This new approach enhances efficiency and productivity in vision inspection tasks and multispectral imaging. A 2-CMOS or 3-CMOS camera optimized for targeted wavebands can reveal additional imaging information that may otherwise be hidden, offering significant advantages over traditional methods.

Fusion Flex-Eye sets a completely new standard in multispectral imaging: The Fusion Series Flex-Eye cameras offer numerous customization combinations, making them ideal for various vision applications where multispectral imaging is used. New waveband combinations can unlock improved capabilities across different industries. These models support configurations within the 400-1000 nm range.

The two or three user-specified wavebands can be located anywhere between 25 and a maximum of 3600 FPS for high-resolution models, depending on sensor configuration. With up to 107 fps at full resolution using 3.2-megapixel sensors or higher frame rates with lower-resolution models.

Flex-Eye enables two or three user-specified wavebands within the visible spectrum or across a broad range from 400-1000 nm, supporting waveband widths as narrow as 25 nm.

High Performance Specifications

Models equipped with three 3.2-megapixel sensors can achieve up to 107 fps at full resolution, while two-sensor models deliver up to 123 fps. For lower-resolution setups, frame rates reach 213 fps for three 1.6-megapixel sensors and 226 fps with two sensors.

A customization project is started with the online Fusion Flex-Eye camera configurator

JAI has developed an easy-to-use online configurator that simplifies defining custom configurations on PCs or mobile devices. Users can specify sensor count, resolution options like Bayer or monochrome support, and intuitively adjust wavebands using a spectral chart. The system supports wavebands as narrow as 25 nm with built-in validation rules guiding users to valid configurations.

High-speed performance: Models equipped with three sensors deliver up to 107 fps at full resolution for 3.2-megapixel cameras, while two-sensor models achieve higher speeds of up to 123 fps. Resolution-dependent frame rates are also impressive: triple 1.6-megapixel setups reach 213 fps and dual 1.6-megapixel cameras reach 226 fps.
