Active thermography in combination with high-resolution infrared cameras is an elegant testing method to analyse measuring objects in a non-contact and non-destructive manner. As an optical measurement method, it enables fast defect detection and quality assurance – nearly regardless of the object material.
The advantage of an infrared motorized zoom camera is obvious: no time-consuming lens changes, but fast and stepless adjustment to a wide range of object distances and sizes are possible. In addition, the zoom cameras of the ImageIR® series from InfraTec are radiometrically calibrated over the entire focal length range. They offer temperature measurements at highest resolution and accuracy.
In the field of materials testing, numerous methods have been established including infrared thermography. Often, it is the combination of different methods that enables the desired results for component characterisation. For example, you can analyse displacements and mechanical deformations of material samples and components parallel with its thermal reaction.
In the upcoming free of charge InfraTec online event you learn more about the benefits, types and challenges of aerial thermography and get more information on applications for thermography in airborne remote sensing.
On 30 August 2023,, interested parties and thermographers from science and industry will have the opportunity to learn more about the possibilities of thermography in the demanding field of research and development.
