Machine vision specialist Teledyne DALSA, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), on Friday introduced the Kaleido short-wave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral camera, targeting industrial inspection applications including recycling, food safety, pharmaceuticals and waste management.

The company said the camera is designed to improve material discrimination and increase inspection throughput while lowering the cost-to-performance barrier for hyperspectral inspection systems. Fully designed and manufactured by Teledyne, the system integrates the sensor, spectrograph, and interface into a single platform.

Kaleido delivers up to 1,280-pixel spatial resolution with line rates above 2.3 kHz, enabling higher-volume inspections without compromising spectral precision. The camera also includes built-in spectral band selection and spectrograph-based aberration correction to simplify integration and maintain calibration consistency across operating temperatures.

Teledyne said the product incorporates features from its line scan portfolio, including metadata tagging and multiple regions of interest, to improve data-processing efficiency. The camera operates on a 10 GigE interface compliant with GigE Vision and GenICam standards and is optimised for low-light performance using energy-efficient SWIR LED lighting.
