Measurement of Fast Processes Combined with the Highest Precision

High-speed Ther­mo­graphy in Full Resol­u­tion

Combining the image format of (640 × 512) IR pixels with the exceptionally high frame rate of 1,105 Hz allows thermographic images, even of extremely fast-moving objects or highly dynamic thermal processes.

Exactly the moment that matters is captured with absolute precision, displayed with high resolution, and precisely measured, thermally.

Due to the latest detector technology, this camera – sensitive in the mid-infrared – allows high-speed thermography in full frame format and achieves a high thermal resolution of 20 mK.

The radiometric image data are transferred with loss-free intelligent real-time compression. This works without having to use internal memory. In addition, the data are sent directly via an industrial 10 GigE interface to a standard notebook for storage, control and analysis.

The digital high-speed data acquisition is carried out with InfraTec’s IRBIS® 3 thermography software family.

Use of the Latest Detector Tech­no­logy for Longer Service Life

The ImageIR® 8300 hs is based on an innovative detector: T2SLS with HOT long-life technology.

This offers an excellent signal-to-noise ratio starting at relatively high operating temperatures of about 130 K, resulting in lower wear and tear on the cooling system.

Thus, this thermographic camera requires significantly lower cooling capacity than conventional models. Conventional models typically operate at 77 K.

This results in less stress on the integrated Stirling cooler, which in turn increases the lifetime of the camera compared to other cooled cameras.

Capture Fast Processes with Large Temper­ature Differ­ences with High Preci­sion

The camera’s wide temperature measurement range allows fast processes with large temperature gradients to be easily recorded. For example, this applies to explosions, electrical discharges or laser machining processes.

The new ImageIR® 8300 HS can be equipped with a fast-rotating filter wheel. This enables the camera sensitivity to be adapted to the spectral properties of the target.

Equipped with up to six spectral filters, the filter wheel allows sequential measurements of high image frequency in different spectral ranges.

Increase Your Flex­ib­ility by Using the Modular Design Concept

The ImageIR® series is based on a modular concept. It allows for successive upgrading and changes of powerful components like motorised lenses or a high-speed shutter. Already in its basic configuration, it can be delivered with different detectors which support your application the best way. In this way, you will always remain flexible. You can optimally adapt your camera systems to your respective needs.

Measure Precisely Over a Long Time

A high long-term stability of the thermographic measurement with infrared camera systems of the ImageIR® 8300 HS series is achieved by an excellent thermal decoupling of the electronics module, which will emit heat during its operation. The electronics module is separated from the optical and detector module. The latter is most important for the signal reception.

Detect Smal­lest Temper­ature Differ­ences Using High Thermal Resol­u­tion of 20 mK

The thermal resolution of the ImageIR® infrared camera series allows you to measure the smallest temperature differences of (at 30 °C). Thermal images with a narrow temperature span display details absolutely sharp.

With this resolution, you will find interesting signatures even when other infrared camera systems cannot detect any temperature differences any longer.

Acquire Thermal Images in a Milli­second of Time

The exact and fast control of the detectors of the ImageIR® 8300 HS series provides the possibility to acquire and analyse thermal images at a time scale of milliseconds. Thereby, it allows an easy analysis of fast processes regarding their thermal changes.

Thermal images can be stored at a frame rate of up to 30,000 Hz. This provides insights into thermal changes of fast-running processes.
