ATEX

The most important basic principles on explosion protection can be found in the ATEX directives in relation to the European Union. The specifications for the protective housing of thermal imaging cameras and pan/tilt systems used in potentially explosive areas can be derived from this among other things.

Full Optics

Selec­tion of High‐perform­ance Full Optics for Optimum Image Quantity
As in the professional photography sector, beside the camera sensors used, the quality of the IR lenses is also decisive in the thermography sector for the creation of precise and detailed thermograms. The lens is a significant component of a camera system and is a decisive factor in the creation of high‐quality images or thermograms.

FLIR - Forward Looking InfraRed

Infrared Solutions from InfraTec
The term FLIR stands for the abbreviation Forward Looking InfraRed. The abbreviation FLIR originated in the course of the further development of the infrared camera at the beginning of the 1960s. Originally a one-dimensional downward or sideways looking system on aircraft, it was then replaced by forward looking scanner cameras that no longer relied on movement of the carrier system for imaging.

High-speed Mode

Several models of the high-end camera series ImageIR from InfraTec offer users the option to choose between two speed modes for the same camera. In standard mode, the familiar frame rates for full frame, half frame and sub-frame are available with full spatial resolution. In high-speed mode, images can be taken with the identical FOV – while the frame rate, i.e. the speed of image processing and image storage, increases to more than three times the previous value.

HDR Function

Enables Gapless and Error-Free Thermography of Objects with Extremely Large Temperature Gradients and Temperature Changes

When measurement objects experience temperature changes of several hundred Kelvin within a very short time, thermography becomes a challenge. After all, neutral density filters have to be changed very quickly, for example by means of a filter wheel, in order to avoid measurement errors due to understeering or drive into saturation. A conventional solution comes up against its limits. Therefore, InfraTec has developed the High Dynamic Range (HDR) function for the infrared camera series ImageIR®. Thus you master the error-free and uninterrupted measurement of highly dynamic thermal processes.

HighSense

Different measurement scenarios often require temperature measurement ranges or integration times that vary from the initial factory calibration and are individually adjusted. Usually the calibration is invalid as a result of such adjustments and the thermographic camera no longer provides any accurate temperature measurements. HighSense opens up an alternative. Thanks to this innovative function, the measurement accuracy of the cameras is also preserved when integration times or the measurement ranges are changed. With maximum flexibility users also save costs, for example, by avoiding additional application-specific special calibrations.

Infrared Thermography Theory - Physical Basics

The principle of infrared thermography is based on the physical phenomenon that any body of a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15 °C) emits electromagnetic radiation. There is clear correlation between the surface of a body and the intensity and spectral composition of its emitted radiation. By determining its radiation intensity the temperature of an object can thereby be determined in a non-contact way.

https://www.infratec.eu/thermography/service-support/glossary/theory/


Infrared Camera

A thermal camera – also called IR camera, thermal imaging camera or infrared camera – is a measuring instrument used for non-contact measurements of the surface temperature of objects. Measuring temperature in this way enables you to visualise infrared radiation of objects or humans which are normally out of the normal visible spectrum. The thermal camera uses its integrated infrared detector to record the intensity and distribution of a certain spectrum of this electromagnetic radiation. The infrared camera is set up close to process it is controlling in order to immediately detect and rectify deviations from the parameters defined for this process. InfraTec provides such solutions for process monitoring and quality control as well as for research and development.

Leak Search

Leak search can be a difficult task, especially after water damages in hidden pipes, such as floor- and wall-mounted heaters.
With the aid of a thermographic camera, the damage can be found quickly and easily, since a temperature difference can be detected between the leaking water and the environment. The leakage point can be determined centimetre-perfectly with thermography.

https://www.infratec.eu/thermography/service-support/glossary/leak-search/


Leak Detection

Thermal image capturing makes leak detection more efficient and simpler, especially when the searched spot is hidden. Thus, breaking open walls and floors “on suspicion” becomes unnecessary.
Thermal imaging takes advantage of the fact that leaking water shows a different temperature than the environment.

Motor Focus for ImageIR Series

Motorised precise focusing of the image has been a standard feature of digital cameras and some mobile phones for a long time. Why not for all infrared cameras? Should this function not be automatically included in the scope of delivery?

Modular Design Concept

Customer-specific adaptation of the camera configuration to the user requirements thank to modular structure
The camera can be adapted to all requirements of the user due to modular design of the ImageIR. This means that a customer-specific thermography system is achieved in every direction. But the ImageIR can also be subsequently retrofitted or upgraded in the event of changing measurement requirements. In this way, maximum investment security is achieved.

Multi Integration Time (MIT)

To measure temperatures spanning more than one calibration range requires the acquisition of multiple thermograms with different calibrations. This can be achieved by using Multi Integration Time feature (MIT).

MicroScan

One of the key innovations of the high-end camera series ImageIR® and VarioCAM® High Definition is MicroScan. With the help of this function the number of pixels being used can be quadrupled compared to the native number of pixels of the FPA detector being used. This allows thermography of significantly higher image quality. Users can apply infrared cameras to produce thermograms with geometrical resolutions up to (2.560 x 2.048) IR pixels. Such recordings show measurement objects with a superb image quality.

Mobile Wireless Camera Remote Control for more Flexibility

Even more Flex­ib­ility with Stationary Camera Systems thanks to the Remov­able Display

Stationary camera systems like an ImageIR® or VarioCAM® HD head are usually PC-controlled. Used is the standard data connection to a computer, on which the IRBIS® software takes over the imaging data acquisition and camera control. The computer display is used for visualisation.

InfraTec offers an alternative to this solution that makes the operation of the camera system even more versatile. An additional tablet PC is fixed to the camera housing for this purpose, allowing the wireless control of all camera functions. The power supply is independent of the camera.

R

Rotating Filter and Aperture Wheel of the ImageIR Camera Series

The combination of a separate filter and aperture wheel, allowing a total of 35 freely selectable combinations, is prerequisite for a universal application in measurement tasks with high object temperatures and in the field of spectral thermography.

S

Subwindowing for High-Speed Measurement

The ImageIR® can be operated in full, half, quarter and sub mode. With the camera control software, it is possible to use the extended subwindowing function. Using click-and-drag, freely definable sections can be set up quickly and conveniently. Subwindow image frequencies of up to 105,000 Hz can thus be achieved.

T

Thermal Zoom Cameras

Using thermal cameras for security applications has become a very common and useful asset for border protection and facility monitoring. The advantages are obvious: Thermal cameras do not depend on light conditions, they provide constant imaging any time a day, can penetrate haze and fog. Even camouflaged persons or vehicles can be detected when entering areas to be considered as off-limits for intruders. Depending on the camera configuration chosen it may be possible to detect humans beyond 15 km distance, ground vehicles or small boats beyond 20 km, larger ships or vessels and aircraft beyond 30 km.

Thermal Image

A thermal image can be captured with a infrared camera. To acquire the thermal image, the infrared radiation, which is generated by the heat of an object, is recorded by a thermographic camera. Every object with a temperature higher than absolute zero emits infrared radiation, which is invisible to the human eye.

Temperature Measurement

Temperature is a decisive factor in many processes. Be it in the electronics industry, in additive manufacturing or in automotive engineering. One method of determining and monitoring temperature without contact is thermography. It can be used to make defects visible without destroying the test object during testing. This makes it a popular method, especially in the field of non-destructive testing.

10 GigE Technology

innovative and Secure Data Transmission Using 10 GigE Technology

Thermographic systems are moving towards more and more increasing higher pixel numbers. Nowadays cameras are even available with detectors of up to (1,920 x 1,536) IR pixels. Not only the number of pixels has increased, but also the frame rates. For example, systems with cooled detectors (quantum detectors) can achieve full frame rates of approx. 1 kHz at an image size of (640 x 512) IR pixels. Even higher frame rates are expected in the future.
