The Specim FX10+ high frame rates with full VNIR coverage

Specim's FX10+ Hyperspectral PUSHBROOM camera offers a high-speed solution to applications where rapid data collection is required. It is an industrial grade hyperspectral camera designed with small size, low cost and high speed for OEM applications where high throughput inspection for sorting is paramount.

As its name suggests, the FX10+ is a variant of Specim's hugely successful FX10. The FX10+ is not designed as an upgrade that surpasses the FX10, instead it is designed to accompany the FX10 as an alternative product. It is aimed at applications where speed is important and a lower spectral resolution is all that is required for successful classification. Many applications do not require the narrow, high resolution bands offered with the FX10, and instead benefit greatly from higher speed and throughout. The FX10+ still covers the full VNIR spectrum from 400 - 1000nm, but it does so with fewer and broader bands. This enables it to operate at higher frame rates.

A key feature of the FX cameras for OEM's is the AIE mode which when enabled ensures every camera works exactly as every other camera. It allows OEM machine builders to deploy the same spectral classification model across multiple machines without having to modify the model. Tweaking a model for every machine because of the variations from camera to camera would be too unwieldy for volume manufacturers. AIE solves that problem.

Another feature for OEM's is the in-built shutter that allows for automatic and regular dark image corrections which are so important for stable long term and repeatable results when using hyperspectral cameras.

• The FX10+ is a great option for sorting food products as it gives reliable information in a rapid, non-destructive and hygienic way, requiring no sample preparation. One-third of the world's food is wasted which highlights a need for sorting systems to make accurate decisions on the quality of produce under great time constraints.

• The Specim FX10+ is ideal for analysing large volumes of food products rapidly and in real-time. The FX10+ collects chemical information and simultaneously detects the different quality parameters with a single scan to maximise the production line's processing efficiency.

• Detect blemishes and bruising under the skin
• Measure ripeness and chemical composition
• Foreign objects like wood, metal or insects
• Optimize shelf life, reduce waste, and improve profits

• The Specim FX10+ hyperspectral camera is proficient in the world of crop health assessment where it can be used for the optimization of crop yields and plant phenotyping. It can be deployed on vehicle in field or in growing rooms as required.
