Inno-Spec RedEye NIR hyperspectral cameras

RedEye, the latest series of pushbroom hyperspectral imaging (HSI) cameras from Inno-Spec, brings near-infrared (NIR) imaging to industrial and laboratory environments.

With a wavelength range from 950–2200 nm, the cameras are designed to capture chemical and material information beyond the visible spectrum, thus providing insights into a wide range of materials, from plastics and food products to pharmaceuticals and waste. By revealing material composition, ingredient profiles and surface coatings, the camera is suitable for sorting systems and real-time in-line process control.

The series is available in four models to suit different applications: RedEye 1.7 (950–1700 nm), RedEye 1.7 High Res (950–1700 nm with enhanced resolution), RedEye 1.9 (1100–1900 nm) and RedEye 2.2 (1200–2200 nm). With high measurement rates, good spectral and spatial resolution and an adjustable field of view, RedEye enables real-time monitoring even on fast-moving production lines. When paired with the optional ColEx adapter, it can capture RGB colour data alongside NIR information, providing comprehensive material analysis in a single system.

With good photosensitivity, rugged industrial design (IP65/IP67) and maintenance-free operation with no moving parts, the camera requires no regular optical calibration and integrates seamlessly via GigE Vision. With its speed, reliability and versatility, the camera can provide industrial users with a cost-effective solution for advanced material inspection and process control.
