Stable, Reliable High Performance Affordable for Demanding Applications

Xenics launched the Ceres V family of long-wave infrared (LWIR) cameras on 11 April, complementing the previously-introduced Ceres T series and expanding user options for thermal imaging and thermographic applications.

The Ceres V 640 and Ceres V 1280 are dedicated to industrial vision applications with very high stability performance requirements – such as process monitoring, industrial machine vision and medical applications, as well as scientific uses. Current industrial offers are often either very high-end but expensive fully thermographic cameras, or very low-end LWIR imagers with poor sensitivity and resolution, though cost-optimised. Xenics now introduces high performance solutions, affordable for all kinds of applications.

The Ceres V family is based on leading-edge 12µm pitch uncooled microbolometer sensors. Leveraging the concept developed for Ceres T thermographic cameras, Ceres V also benefits from specific development that makes these cameras very stable, offered with the most popular interfaces in the industry: CameraLink or GigE. Compatibility with Ceres T products also simplifies integration and enables system up- or downgrading with minimal effort. Their GenICam-compliant nature makes them very easy to use in industrial environments.

“Ceres V is the new reference for industrial thermal imagers, and completes the already existing thermographic offer based on Ceres T,” explained Marc Larive, Strategic Marketing Manager at Xenics. “Xenics’ LWIR portfolio now covers all the thermal applications. Moreover, Xenics proposes the high resolution on fully industrial dedicated thermal cameras.”
