The LiSaSWIR 2048 v2 is a next-generation SWIR line-scan camera designed for high-speed, high-precision inspection applications. Powered by NIT’s new NSC2301 InGaAs sensor, this upgraded model delivers significant advancements in sensitivity, image quality, and integration flexibility.

With 2048 pixels and an 8 µm pixel pitch, the LiSaSWIR 2048 v2 offers excellent resolution while maintaining compatibility with standard 1.1” format lenses. The camera supports line rates > 110 kHz, configurable exposure times, and both ITR and IWR readout modes, enabling it to adapt to fast-moving scenes and varying object speeds.

Key performance improvements of the NSC2301 sensor include enhanced uniformity, lower noise, reduced dark current, and refined gain control—critical for demanding industrial environments. Additional onboard features, such as Non-Uniformity Correction (NUC) and Bad Pixel Replacement (BPR), ensure reliable and consistent imaging performance.
Thanks to its compact form factor and industry-standard CameraLink interface, the LiSaSWIR 2048 v2 integrates easily into existing inspection systems.

Typical applications include:

  • Semiconductor and photovoltaic inspection
  • Food and vegetable sorting
  • Waste management and recycling
  • Pharmaceutical packaging and process control
