The New Generation SWIR Infrared Cameras

ImageIR® 8100

High-resolution, radiometrically calibrated infrared cameras with a very good price/performance ratio - these are the new SWIR cameras from the ImageIR® series. They are suitable for temperature measurements from 300 °C and operate in the short-wave infrared range.

  • Cooled focal plane array photon detector operating in snapshot mode with (640 × 512) IR pixels

  • Cost-effective, compact optics design with high imaging quality

  • The compact design and low weight predestine the SWIR thermal imaging camera for integration into existing system environments

  • The accompanying Software Development Kit (SDK) provides easy access to all camera functions

Specialist for Meas­ure­ment on Metallic Surfaces

The high-resolution ImageIR® 8100 and ImageIR® 9100 are very compact thermographic cameras designed for stationary use, which work in the short-wave spectral range and are used preferably for contactless temperature measurement on metal surfaces because of their spectral characteristics.

Integ­ra­tion into Existing System Envir­on­ments

Compact design and low weight make the ImageIR® 8100 and ImageIR® 9100 SWIR infrared cameras ideal for integration into existing system environments. With the associated Software Development Kit (SDK), all functions of the cameras are easily accessible. Due to their robustness, they can also be used in adverse environmental conditions, for example in industry.

Long-term Stability

The cameras do not require a mechanical cooler and are suitable for maintenance-free continuous operation. With the new SWIR cameras from InfraTec, users thus receive thermographic cameras that are equipped with high measurement accuracy as well as very good short- and long-term stability.

Smal Pitch Dimen­sion

They have a pixel pitch of only 5 μm, resulting in a small detector chip diagonal. This in turn allows a comparatively affordable and compact optical design with high imaging quality. In combination with radiometric calibration, brilliant thermographic images with high geometric and thermal resolution can thus be achieved in both formats. In SXGA format, even the smallest details on large-area objects can be optimally resolved. Adaptation to real measurement scenarios is very convenient thanks to the interchangeable lenses with different focal lengths.

Advantages

HighSense for thermographic camera series ImageIR®

High­Sense – Always the Optimal Camera Setting

Thanks to HighSense, ImageIR® users have the option of setting up individual measuring ranges based on the factory calibration that best suit the respective task. Depending on the measuring task, the required temperature range can be selected and the optimum integration time for this purpose is calculated – or one decides to proceed in reverse order. Thus, the calibration can be retained even in the case of changed integration times.

Auto Calibration

The Auto Calibration option expands the HighSense function to include automatic, dynamic adaptation of the integration time. This ensures the utmost temperature measuring accuracy and an optimised signal-to-noise ratio throughout the process. The wellfill of a detector is usually optimal in certain areas of the dynamic range. If the measured object signal is outside theses or user-specified limits, the integration time is readjusted.

Window Mode (Subwin­dowing) – Capture of Rapid Sequences

The thermal imaging camera 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. A defined sub-frame of the detector is picked out to achieve these extremely high refresh rates.

Integ­rated Trigger / Process Inter­face and Inter­faces – Digit­ally Controlling of a Infrared Camera and External Devices

The internal trigger interface guarantees highly precise, repeatable triggering. Each of the two configurable digital inputs and outputs are used to control the camera or to generate digital control signals for external devices. In this way, for example, the operation of a printed circuit board and the interval of a measurement can be synchronised.

The selection of different camera interfaces allows the processing of analog data, such as the voltage directly through the camera and thus the insertion of this information into the thermal image data. Relevant variables can be included in the evaluations with the software, which makes it easier to draw conclusions about the causes of temperature changes.

InfraTec thermography - Geometrical Resolution

Geomet­rical Resol­u­tion – Effi­cient Analysis of Complex Assem­blies

InfraTec's infrared cameras with cooled and uncooled detectors have native resolutions up to (1,920 × 1,536) IR pixels. Spatially high-resolution thermograms ensure that components and assemblies are imaged down to the smallest detail and thus defects can be reliably detected and precisely localised.

Indus­tries & Applic­a­tions for the SWIR Infrared Camera Series ImageIR® 8100

Some thermographic measurement tasks are characterised by very high temperatures and challenging materials. They can only be solved with a high degree of uncertainty in the medium (MWIR) and long-wave (LWIR) infrared range, with regard to the occurrence of measurement errors. InfraTec‘s SWIR infrared cameras ImageIR® 8100 and ImageIR® 9100 offer new possibilities. They expand the portfolio of thermographic temperature measurement and allow for example emissivity-optimised measurements of temperatures on metallic surfaces.

Further Applic­a­tion Areas

  • High-temperature applications (for example hot forming processes, heat treatments)

  • Metal industry (for example welding processes, press hardening, brazing, forging)

  • Additive manufacturing and laser applications

  • Ceramics and glass industry

  • Signature recognition and measurement

  • Solutions for integration
