Measure Precisely over a Long Time

A high long-term stability of the thermographic measurement with infrared camera systems of the ImageIR® 8800 series is achieved without any shutter by an excellent thermal decoupling of the electronics module, which will emit heat during its operation, from the optical and detector module, being most important for the signal reception.

Also, external temperature changes are being taken care of by a multitude of calibration curves and internal calibration routines.

Further Features

HDR Function

Display of Large Temperature Ranges Simultaneously

The HDR function enables thermograms with different integration times and filters to be created in quick succession and combined into a single image with large temperature differences.

Filter & Aper­ture Wheel

Measurement of High Temperatures & Spectral Ranges

Up to two individually combinable wheels equipped with filters and apertures allow the camera sensitivity to be adjusted to the specific requirements of demanding measurement tasks.

Multi Integration Time

Temperature Measurements Across Multiple Calibration Ranges

This function allows continuous temperature measurements to be carried out with constant aperture and filter settings, covering more than one calibration range.

Micro­Scan Function

Quadruple Geometrical Resolution

By using a fast-rotating MicroScan wheel, the number of pixels used can be quadrupled compared to the native pixel count of the FPA detector, significantly improving image quality.

GenICam Interface

The GenICam software interface, in conjunction with the GigE Vision interface, enables easy integration of infrared cameras into existing systems. The cameras are automatically detected.

Trigger Interface

Interface for Incoming and Outgoing Control Signals

Trigger signals to or from the camera can be used to control and synchronise image data acquisition. Thermographic measurements can also be used to control processes.

Auto Calibration

Automatic Adjustment for Precise Measurements

Auto Calibration automatically adapts the integration time, ensuring accurate temperature measurements and consistently high image quality, even under changing conditions.

Multispectral Feature

Flexible Multispectral Measurements

The multispectral feature enables recordings with changing spectral filters. This allows the measurement to be optimally adapted to different objects and tasks.

Thermal Resolution

Measure of Infrared Camera Performance

Thermal resolution (temperature resolution, NETD) describes the smallest temperature difference between objects or areas that an infrared camera can reliably detect and measure.

Increase Your Flex­ib­ility by Using the Modular Design Concept

The ImageIR® series is based on a modular concept and 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. Like this, you will always remain flexible and optimally adapt your camera systems to your respective needs.

Measure Correctly with an Accuracy of +/- ​1%

If your measurement object has a temperature of 18.7 °C will always measure 18.7 °C, and exactly this is taken care of by the infrared camera systems of the ImageIR® 8800 series. You can rely on a correct measurement with an accuracy of +/- 1%

Easily Transfer Your Radiometric Data to the Computer

You will be able to work with both radiation proportional data formats and also directly with temperature data in °C or °F. You will receive the data by setting your specific parameters in the easy handling acquisition interface of the ImageIR® series at a frame rate of up to 2.5 kHz.

Highest Homo­gen­eity will provide you with a Bril­liant Picture

An infrared camera out of the ImageIR® 8800 series offers the highest homogeneity by combining cooled detector technology of the latest generation with other high-precision components. Precise thermography measurements, therefore, will not be influenced by any fixed pattern, and thermal images will be absolutely clear.

Avoid Meas­ure­ment Errors Using Highest Geomet­rical Resol­u­tion of (640 × 512) Infrared Pixels

Compared with digital cameras operating in the visible spectrum, thermographic detector technologies still suffer from lower pixel numbers. Therefore, every pixel counts as in the former times of digital photography. The ImageIR® 8800 series offers you (640 × 512) pixels of the high-resolution detector.

Focus the Thermal Radi­ation Loss-free with Quality Lenses

In the field of thermography, low temperatures result in lower infrared radiation and thereby in a smaller signal for the infrared camera. That is why all the available signals should be used. The lens is the part of the infrared camera getting in touch with the infrared radiation, and therefore it plays an important role.

Precision lenses being coated with an anti-reflection film for avoiding disturbtions take care that the whole infrared radiation will be focussed to the detector of the ImageIR® 8800 series. You will find a wide range of lenses, such as telephoto or wide-angle lenses.

Acquire Thermal Images in a Milli­second of Time

The exact and fast control of the detectors of the ImageIR® 8800 infrared camera 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 100 Hz in full frame mode and provide insights into thermal changes of fast-running processes.
