When concepting for FX hyperspectral imaging cameras, it was important to include a medium wavelength infrared option for specific hyperspectral data collection. Especially built for harsh industrial environments, this small, lightweight camera does a mighty big job of sorting plastics (black ABS, PE and PS in particular), playing a key role in industries such as geology and mining as well as in the detection of elements within metals. Easy installation is also a key factor for onsite use in these industries, as is the high frame rate necessary to facilitate high sorting throughput.
As is the case with all the FX models, FX50 communicates through standard interfaces with commercial analysis software and easily shares its hyperspectral imaging data between FX devices without recalibration.
