SWIR Hyperspectral Camera
Next Generation SWIR Camera
HAIP Solutions BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7 Max is a smart line scanning (push-broom) short wave infrared hyperspectral imaging camera that allows the acquisition of real-time spectral data with very high spatial resolution of 1280 px. It captures up to 399 spectral bands from 950 to 1750 nm and operates at 197 Hz across the full spectral range and reaches up to 1330 Hz in Multi-ROI mode. An integrated NVIDIA Jetson GPU supports on-camera preprocessing and classification.
This hyperspectral camera is also available as a base version with 640 px spatial resolution, named BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7.
Outstanding Sensitivity
The outstanding sensitivity in the SWIR range from 950 nm to 1750 nm is perfect for the use in industrial in-line applications. With a frame rate of 197 Hz at full frame and up to 1330 Hz at ROI, the sensor is suitable for high conveyor belt speeds, ideal for sorting applications.
Designed for demanding environments
Combining superior optical design with advanced holographic transmission grating technology, high-end electronics and a sensitive, next generation InGaAs detector, the BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7 Max camera is an ideal tool for demanding environments.
Individual pre-processing
Data pre-processing on camera is possible, as the camera has an integrated GPU (Nvidia Jetson). All BlackIndustry series cameras are controllable via HAIP BlackStudio software, GenICam or a dedicated C++/Python API. Code samples available upon request.

Applications
High-performance SWIR camera for sorting and inspection
Mixed waste streams often contain materials that are difficult to distinguish by colour or shape alone. The BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7 Max combines up to 399 spectral bands with 1280 spatial pixels to classify suitable material fractions according to their SWIR response and to separate small or overlapping objects within heterogeneous streams. Its Multi-ROI mode increases the line rate to up to 1330 lines per second by acquiring only the relevant spectral regions. This enables high-speed classification of materials that show distinguishable spectral characteristics within the camera’s 950 – 1750 nm range.
Foreign objects and quality deviations can have a similar appearance to the food product and therefore remain undetected by visible inspection. The BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7 Max measures composition-related spectral differences between food, contaminants and background materials across 950–1750 nm. Its 1280 px spatial resolution supports the precise localisation of small foreign objects and local variations within individual products. Classifiers trained in BlackStudio can be transferred to the camera, allowing classification results to be generated directly during continuous in-line inspection.
Geological samples contain mineral grains, inclusions, veins and alteration zones that can vary over very short distances. With 1280 spatial pixels and up to 399 spectral bands, the BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7 Max enables detailed mapping of spectral variations across drill cores, rock slabs and fragmented samples. The covered wavelength range is particularly suitable for geological materials with diagnostic reflectance or absorption characteristics between 950 and 1750 nm. Its high acquisition speed also reduces the scanning time required for large sample surfaces and continuous core sections.

Combined technology
Illumination
The BlackBright Fast Medium Wave IR has been developed specifically for the combined use with the BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7 Max camera. This high-performance illumination unit generates a focused and homogeneous illumination line that is optimised for hyperspectral line-scan cameras operating in the SWIR range (900 – 1800 nm) where stable measurement conditions and reliable spectral data are essential.
BlackStudio is the powerful software behind the BlackIndustry camera series, included free of charge with every BlackIndustry camera purchase. It is designed for seamless integration and maximum flexibility with our hyperspectral cameras. Whether in the food industry, recycling industry or any other optical sorting application – BlackStudio delivers precise control, real-time data acquisition and advanced analysis tools tailored to your needs.
- Real-time data capture with four different livestream windows in the Capture tab
- Direct data analysis in the Analysis tab
- Easy data visualization with numerous customization options
- Create data snippets and save them in a separate database
- Train an individual classifier based on the recorded data
- Perform live classification, e.g. with the On-Camera Classifier tool
On-Camera Classifier
Our BlackIndustry cameras with software version 1.0.13 and later, now feature an on-camera classifier. The previously in BlackStudio trained classifier can be transferred directly to the camera, enabling real-time classification of newly captured data using the Classified Color output mode. This allows classification results to be used immediately in production without additional hardware. By transmitting only classified data, the feature reduces Ethernet bandwidth usage and eliminates processing overhead on the receiving device, ensuring efficient and streamlined operations.

Implemented technology
Multi-ROI
This full speed video showcases the BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7 Max automatically classifying plastic flakes by polymer type on a fast-moving platform. Operating at a high frame rate of up to 1330 Hz and a spatial resolution of 1280 px, this camera is designed to keep pace with fast industrial conveyor belts, ensuring a precise classification. The Multi Region of Interest (ROI) mode makes it possible to achieve such a high framerate. It is also possible to select the relevant wavelengths rather than analyzing the entire spectrum, significantly reducing data volume while maintaining high accuracy.
Sony
Sensor
Next generation Sony’s SenSWIR sensor technology – implemented in HAIP Solutions‘ BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7 / Max.
Sony’s SenSWIR digital sensors set new standards with a smaller pixel size, improved image uniformity and increased spectral sensitivity in the SWIR spectrum. Paired with the implementation of the Cu-Cu connection, this technology reduces the thickness of the top indium-phosphorus (InP) layer, allowing more light to reach the underlying InGaAs layer. In combination with the high signal-to-noise ratio of the BlackIndustry SWIR 1.7 cameras and the integrated black pixels, the sensitivity in the range from 1600 nm to 1730 nm is outstanding. SenSWIR sensors are used in sorting applications, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring, among others, especially in difficult conditions where conventional sensors fail. They are particularly useful for areas requiring versatile spectral analysis and precise object detection.
