NIT SWIR cameras performances in Additive Manufacturing

NIT SWIR cameras performances in Additive Manufacturing

NIT Additive Manufacturing demo including WAAM and Laser Additive Manufacturing.

See the melt-pool and its hydrodynamics like never before!

A better definition of the melt-pool

To summarize why the WiDY SWIR camera is the perfect ally for Additive manufacturing process, we are glad to bring you our demonstration video.

This is the result of our collaboration with the Institut Maupertuis -a French technological center specialized in automated production technologies.

Through this test, we illustrate how our SWIR camera – WiDy SenS performs in very high flux scenes of the melt pool in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and Laser Additive Manufacturing processes:

  • True shape and geometry of the Melt pool without blooming effect
  • The temperature gradient and flow dynamics with SWIR wavelength.

SWIR for inspection – Reveal the heart of your material.
For the past years, the SWIR band has been recognized as one of the best wavelength regions for industrial inspection. Whether detecting cracks or defects on a wafer or solar cells panels, InGaAs imaging devices are suited for seeing through silicon.

With HDR patented technology, high sensitivity, and a plug-and-play integration, NIT SWIR cameras, especially WiDy SenS, can help inspection process easier, more accurate and cost-effective.

Our demonstration, featuring NIT WiDy SenS and Effilux SWIR backlight, illustrates the advantages of NIT SWIR cameras versus visible cameras in detecting defects, trapped air and component observation for a silicon wafer.

Thanks, Effilux for this collaboration.

Happy to help.

NIT experts team is always available for all your needs. Please feel free to contact us to get your answers as soon as possible. 

About WiDy SenS

Among the WiDy family, the WiDy SenS offers the highest sensitivity in the SWIR band, makes it suitable for Semiconductor inspection. Thanks to a small pixel pitch of 15µm, the WiDy SenS camera can easily be used in a microscope inspection machine for small defect detections. The WiDy SenS cameras come with a 46x46x57mm3 form factor and represent a cost-effective solution for integration into a semiconductor production line.

NIT & the Open Innovation Defense & Space challenge of AIRBUS and MBDA

NIT & the Open Innovation Defense & Space challenge of AIRBUS and MBDA

Last Thursday, February 14, NIT had proudly presented the final pitch for the Open Innovation Defense & Space challenge of AIRBUS and MBDA.

At Techinnov- Paris, NIT introduced and explained the concept in front of AIRBUS and MBDA as well as the public of industrialists and investors. As one of 10 chosen finalists, NIT won an award of 5000EUR to develop Defense & Space project.

Here are some photos of the award ceremony on February 14 at a Techinnov.

About The Open Innovation Defense & Space challenge

This competition is reserved for innovative start-ups and SMEs in the Paris region with civil or dual activities that meet the technological needs of the Airbus group.

“The innovative ideas challenge launched jointly by Airbus and MBDA in December 2018 attracted 63 original candidates” – according to AIRBUS.

Find out more about this event.

NIT and the Challenge

Working and developing HDR imaging sensors and cameras from Visible to SWIR band, NIT operates in a large number of different industries, but most of NIT solutions are found in the fields of defense, security. The goal is to provide a clear vision in all lighting conditions, for example, harsh environmental conditions, day and night, for defending or protecting people.

Nominated for innovative image sensors, NIT project illustrates how NIT future SWIR Hyperspectral development can improve defense and civilian airborne vision systems.

"Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a technique that analyzes a wide spectrum of light instead of just assigning primary colors (red, green, blue) to each pixel. The light striking each pixel is broken down into many different spectral bands in order to provide more information on what is imaged." Armin Schneider, Hubertus Feussner

The advantage of this solution is reducing the cost for integration and drastically reducing the size of Hyperspectral SWIR system.
