Specim FX10 Alternatives & Competitors

The Specim FX17 operates in the near-infrared region and possesses the unique ability to "see the invisible." It excels in revealing a target's chemical composition for in-depth analysis and can detect moisture or foreign objects with precision. For example, the FX17 can be employed to determine sugar levels on berries or potatoes, gauge moisture percentages in baked goods, or identify various plastic types for recycling.

One of its standout features is its flexibility, offering free wavelength selection from 224 bands within its camera coverage. This adaptability allows users to tailor its capabilities to their specific needs. The FX17's fast optics provide high sensitivity and detection accuracy, while its high-speed performance ensures it can handle more frames per second than typically required. Despite its robust capabilities, its compact size allows for easy and flexible installation.

The FX17 is designed for easy integration, seamlessly communicating with commercial analysis software through standard interfaces. Moreover, it boasts unified wavelength calibration between individual cameras, ensuring that data received from different FX17 units is consistently comparable. These features make it a valuable choice for industries requiring precise and reliable near-infrared inspection capabilities.
