ImageIR® 12300: High-end Thermography Camera for Multifaceted Measurement tasks

Due to its extraordinarily high resolution, the ImageIR® 12300 can always bring its strengths to bear when large area measurement ranges need to be analysed in detail and at once. The use of the camera provides a significant increase in efficiency and provides maximum accuracy by preventing geometrically induced measurement errors.

Modern production technologies demand that ever larger area objects be examined in a consistent and greater level of detail. The new ImageIR® 12300 satisfies this requirement due to a cooled high performance photon detector with a native resolution of (2.560 × 2.048) IR pixels and combines maximum geometrical and thermal precision in one camera. 

Standard cameras with (640 x 512) IR pixels need at least 16 consecutive measurements to achieve the same level of detail as the top model of the ImageIR® series from InfraTec. Thereby a separate analysis of all 16 images may be required or merging them into a thermal image. Instead the ImageIR® 12300 renders the measurement not only in unrivalled image quality but in just one exposure which guarantees the synchronism of all data collected.

10 GigE Inter­face for a Strong Increase in Output

The 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface of the high-end camera series ImageIR® opens this extremely fast transmission standard with a NIC specially developed by InfraTec. This works with optical or electrical transceiver modules that are easy to change and are called SFP+.

InfraTec glossary - Rotating filter- und aperture wheel

Separate Filter & Aper­ture Wheel – Spec­tral Ther­mo­graphy

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. The neutral density filters used for signal attenuation or the combination of spectral filters and apertures reliably prevent interference effects.

Multispectral Feature

The multispectral feature makes it possible to record sequences with constantly changing spectral filters. Images are recorded synchronously with a rapidly rotating filter wheel equipped with the filters. It may be possible to switch between up to seven filters, depending on the version. Due to this the multispectral measurement can be optimised to suit the measuring task if the preset ranges are unsuitable. The integration times can be adapted within the limits calibrated for this filter.

InfraTec thermography - High-speed Mode

High-speed Mode – Increase Frame Rate and Sens­it­ivity

Due to the binning technology, infrared cameras have two speed modes – the standard mode and the high-speed mode, in which the frame rate increases more than three times. The field of view remains constant in both modes, so the scene captured by the camera does not change. In high-speed mode, the thermal resolution also increases by a factor of two.

Modular Concept for Your Flex­ib­ility

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

Integrated Intelligence for More Independence

The ImageIR® 12300 is equipped with high performance electronics with impressive processing bandwidth. IR image data obtained can be recorded internally, analysed using implemented algorithms and used to control the high-end infrared camera.

The ImageIR® 12300 is designed for standalone operations completely without a PC. Alternatively, data can be output in real-time via various interfaces to high resolution displays as well as for external processing or storage. The integrated web interface allows for operation and remote control of the ImageIR® 12300 by smartphone or tablet.

InfraTec ImageIR® High-end Infrared Camera Series

Master the Most Complex Meas­ure­ment and Inspec­tion Tasks Your­self

High object temperatures or specific material characteristics of the measurement objects can make analysis with thermographic systems considerably more challenging. For such cases, InfraTec offers equipment with an optional aperture wheel and filter wheel. It is motorised and can be operated through the camera controller.

For example, if extremely high temperatures on objects are measured, the apertures weaken the respective radiation accordingly. With calibrated measurement ranges, a previously determined aperture is automatically selected and used for image recording.

If specific emission or transmission characteristics of the measurement object make the task more difficult, users can equip the aperture wheel and filter wheel of ImageIR® with filters. As a result, the camera's range of use is expanded to cover the area of spectral thermography. In this way, transmission is prevented with thin foils and only their purely emitted radiation is recorded for temperature measurement. The wheel offers room for up to five spectral filters or apertures, so the thermography system can be adapted to target the measurement and inspection task on site.
