Headwall Photonics Product
Headwall's MV.Scan is a complete, pre-configured hyperspectral scanning workstation used for contact-free, non-destructive sample analysis. Paired with perClass Mira software, it allows users to rapidly build spectral classification models and automate industrial sorting and quality inspection tasks
Headwall’s MV.Scan Benchtop is a pre-configured and tested system that integrates calibrated sensors, motion, lighting, and software in one compact platform—delivering reliable, repeatable data for research, development, and quality assurance. On the perClass Mira Scanning Stage, a sample tray sits atop a solidly built but lightweight and portable stage with mounts for a variety of Headwall hyperspectral imaging cameras covering the VNIR, NIR, and SWIR wavelength ranges. Generate, analyze, and verify spectral data with speed and confidence, then move seamlessly from lab validation to real-world application without changing your setup.
These Headwall hyperspectral sensors accept C-mount lenses (sold separately) appropriate for their wavelength range in several focal lengths. A compact, powerful, pre-configured MV.PC is strongly recommended, and runs perClass Mira® Software, the industry standard for intuitive capture and interpretation of hyperspectral imaging data.
For all your hyperspectral imaging needs:
- Complete out of the box solution
- Available simultaneous multi-sensor acquisition packages
- VNIR, NIR, and SWIR configurations
- Highly efficient data acquisition
- Powerful data analysis
- Easy to set up, operate, and succeed!
Markets and Applications:
The MV.Scan Benchtop serves industries looking to transition spectral lab analysis into real-time, in-line production decisions (Industry 4.0).
- Food Quality & Safety: Detecting foreign objects, grading produce (fruit, nuts), and identifying contamination. It is also used to measure chemical attributes like sweetness, pH, and intramuscular fat without destroying the product.
- Industrial Coating & Materials Inspection: Inspecting surfaces for invisible flaws, mapping paint thicknesses, and ensuring proper chemical composition of adhesives and polymers
- Recycling & Material Sorting: Creating classification models that can distinguish between various types of plastics, paper, and textiles by their chemical signature, enabling precise material recovery.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Deploying Process Analytical Technology (PAT) to verify blend uniformity, identify counterfeit drugs, and map the spatial distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Benefits:
- Non-Destructive Analysis: Analyzes the chemical and physical composition of samples instantly without altering or destroying them.
- Out-of-the-Box Operation: Arrives pre-configured and factory-aligned with calibrated sensors, lighting, and stage motion control.
- Actionable Insight: Powered by perClass Mira Software to provide intuitive, single-button data acquisition, model training, and deployment.
- Versatility: Accommodates a wide range of spectral bands, including VNIR, NIR, and SWIR, as well as simultaneous dual-sensor capture.
- Scalable Testing: Allows users to refine processes and evaluate system designs at the lab bench before committing to larger, online machine vision installations.
