High speed thermal cameras for Machine vision and process control

The ImageIR® range of thermography cameras from InfraTec Gmbh and supplied by Armstrong Optical offer non destructive active thermography testing, process monitoring and control with frame rates of up to 3 KHz across the infrared spectrum (0.8 to 12microns). Operating in line-scan mode rates of 10 KHz can be achieved.

These high performance cameras are already offering unprecedented capability across industries and disciplines as varied as Aerospace and automotive engineering; medicine; laser technology; welding; electronics/microelectronics research; glass, plastics and steel industries; R&D in non-destructive material testing, lock-in and spectral thermography; stress analysis testing of assemblies, and microthermography.

The ImageIR® cameras are built around the latest in focal plane array infrared detector technology. The product series includes high-speed thermography systems with state-of-the art focal-plane-array InSb, MTC and QWIP photon detectors in variable pixel formats (320 x 256) and (640 x 512). With thermal resolution of <25mK (0.025°C) even the smallest transient temperature event will be captured for subsequent analysis.

Moreover, with the IRBIS® 3 plus and IRBIS® 3 professional software with integrated online capability, the complete systems include tools for digital real-time data recording and evaluation and all further functionality required for solving challenging measuring tasks.
