PPWR: How machine vision supports companies with the new packaging requirements
Since 12 August 2026, the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation (EU) 2025/40) has applied across the EU. In Germany, the Packaging Law Implementation Act (VerpackDG) replaces the previous Packaging Act. Companies must meet stricter requirements for recyclability, material restrictions and packaging labelling. Machine vision, meaning the use of cameras and software…
High-Speed 14 MP Industrial Camera for Print, Printed Circuit Board and Semiconductor Inspection
The Vieworks VCS-14MX2 is a 14-megapixel industrial camera that captures full-resolution images at up to 338 fps over CoaXPress 2.0. It gives print, PCB and semiconductor inspection lines the resolution to catch finer defects without slowing production. Mono and colour versions mean the same platform covers both greyscale and colour inspection tasks.
Optics & Lenses for Imaging and Machine Vision
Together with the illumination system, the optics form the first link in the imaging chain of a vision system. Selecting a suitable lens is crucial for the quality of the final image and has an impact on factors such as achievable speed, measuring accuracy, error-free operation, reproducibility and reliability of the downstream analysis. STEMMER IMAGING offers…
Lens selection made simple
A lens request for a new inspection station sometimes arrives as a single number: 12 mm focal length. But focal length alone is not a sufficient basis for lens selection. The required field of view, working distance, sensor format, resolution, and depth of field must be considered together. The STEMMER IMAGING Lens Calculator goes further….
Material differences that do not show up in visible light usually mean adding a second camera and a second data stream to an inspection line
The JAI Wave Area Scan camera addresses this requirement differently. Its InGaAs sensor captures visible and short-wave infrared data in the same frame, spanning 400 to 1700 nm, at 1.3 megapixels and up to 90 frames per second. Consequently, system architecture and image processing stay simpler than a two-camera setup would require because both spectral…
4-channel CXP-12 CoaXPress Fiber Extenders, Plug-and-Play over Fibre
Transparent in design with no programming needed, PHORTE fully supports CoaXPress 2.1 and CXPoF standards for high-speed bit rates up to 12.5 Gb/s. It is built for architecting a reliable, high-speed vision system, extending CoaXPress links as far as 10 kilometres over single mode fibre, or several hundred metres over cost-effective multimode fibre.
SWIR Line Scan Cameras for Industrial Inspection
The JAI Wave Series delivers SWIR line scan imaging for industrial inspection at production speed. Designed for applications where material composition, moisture distribution, or subsurface conditions are the inspection variable, it provides the spectral contrast that visible-spectrum cameras cannot.

Most hyperspectral SWIR cameras make you choose: speed, resolution, or sensitivity. The Teledyne DALSA Kaleido doesn’t
With 1280-pixel spatial resolution at 2300 Hz across the full spectral range, it delivers twice the resolution, four times the acquisition speed, and ten times the light sensitivity of previous-generation platforms, in a single, calibrated unit with consistent spectral performance between cameras.
