Thermal imaging cameras at IPOT

Imaging and machine vision are perfect applications for the Flir Systems ThermoVision A-Series infrared cameras that will be demonstrated at IPOT 2006, next to MTEC on 15-16 February at the NEC.

This is a range that provides affordable, fully integrated thermal imaging and measurement for inspection, process monitoring, product verification and quality assurance applications.

They have smart capability and open architecture allowing features such as alarms and event logging to be tailored to exact application needs.

Integration into Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks is both simple and quick.

Based on maintenance-free, uncooled detector technology, the rugged and compact A-Series cameras can detect and measure subtle temperature differences from a distance and through smoke, fog and steam.

They feature powerful, built-in logic and multiple alarms and are capable of autonomous process control as well as monitoring.

This range also includes the world's smallest high performance infrared camera.

The ThermoVision A10 is designed for applications that require excellent thermal image quality, compact size and low weight but where temperature measurement is not needed.

All A-Series cameras are available with a software development kit and can easily be interfaced with the National Instruments Compact Vision System and IMAQ products.

There is no reason to think of a thermal imaging camera as being any different from a visual camera from an interfacing perspective.

In fact there are certain features that may be easier to determine using infrared than visual.

This is particularly the case where a fill level is sought from an opaque vessel or there is a risk of obscuration with steam or smoke.

Flir Systems manufactures infrared cameras that are characterised by highly accurate temperature measurement, high capacity image storage and comprehensive analysis capability.

All use a common-core imaging system based on state-of-the-art cooled or uncooled sensor technology.

The company's product programme now encompasses the full infrared spectrum from 'near' to 'far'.

In many cases there is no need for additional lighting resulting in a cheaper and simpler installation.
