Interferometric sensor measures sandwich size
Measuring the thickness of the air layer sandwiched between two glass plates was a recent application that needed some critical thinking.
Like its higher resolution older brothers, the IR108 and IR109, the IR106 offers what Armstrong described as a true 'power-in - video-out' capability, coupled with full system control via a built-in RS232 interface.
Gain, offset, zoom, brightness, contrast and image display are all available through the interface, and the standard PAL and NTSC composite video outputs can be augmented by an optional Firewire 1394 output, thereby increasing the versatility of the thermal sensor module, added the company.
The IR106 includes a fully radiometric system the size of a mobile phone (the Mobiro M4) and a new top-of-the-range hand-held system for Predictive and preventive maintenance applications (the IR928+).
