iBoost X IMX991 SWIR Camera – 400–1700 nm High-Speed InGaAs Camera
Product Description
The iBoost X IMX991 SWIR Camera is a high-performance industrial InGaAs camera designed for demanding short-wave infrared imaging applications. Featuring a 400–1700 nm spectral range, 5 μm pixel size, global shutter, and high-speed imaging up to 486.1 fps, it delivers reliable SWIR imaging for industrial inspection and material analysis.
With USB 3.0, GigE, and Camera Link interfaces, the camera provides flexible connectivity for different machine vision systems. Two housing options are available: a compact fanless design for space-limited applications and a large fan-cooled design for enhanced heat dissipation during demanding continuous operation.
