He added " The technology and applications of Non-Destructive Testing are wide ranging and constantly evolving.
Major fields of application include the automotive and aerospace industries, gas and energy generation, chemical industries, space technology, rail transport, shipping and manufacturing.
With other applications constantly emerging the unique combination of compactness, high performance and a removable lens interface offered by the Titanium 560MB gives us the flexibility to cope with the demands of these new measurements".
Titanium IR systems are available with a broad range of detectors including state-of-the-art InSb, MCT or QWIP focal plane array detectors that achieve outstanding sensitivity of less than 18 mK even at the highest frame rates in both the MWIR and LWIR domains.
Built for operational flexibility the Titanium IR system is programmable from 1Hz to 380 Hz in full frame mode, offers a sub-array windowing mode with integration time adjustable in 1us increments and smart external triggering capability synchronising image capture to even the most fleeting events.
Titanium IR systems offer true plug and play compatibility with standard computers as well as third party frame grabbers and image processing software.
Using either CAMLINK, USB2.0 or GigE interfaces the Titanium is able to transmit commands and transfer video images at 40 MHz pixel rate and full 14-bit dynamic range.
Comprehensive image analysis software dedicated to thermal measurement comes as standard.
