Infra-red cooled camera for thermographic analysis

A Cedip Infrared Systems product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 10, 2006

Infra-red cooled camera provides a complete acquisition and processing system for highly dynamic phenomena and high frequency periodic excitation.

Cedip Infrared Systems has announced the Silver 480M -an infra-red cooled camera that provides a complete acquisition and processing system for highly dynamic phenomena and high frequency periodic excitation.

For researchers looking to perform fast thermographic analysis, the camera uses its analogue inputs for synchronous acquisition of external sensor signals that, after processing by a lock-in technique, enable highly sensitive and accurate non-destructive evaluation, fatigue testing and stress analysis.

The Silver 480M is based on Cedip's high performance cryogenically cooled staring focal plane array detectors.

Incorporating read out IC technology, the Silver 480M's 320 x 240 pixels format InSb detector (3 to 5um) delivers 400Hz full frame rate while maintaining linearity and sensitivity of typically 20mK.

Built for operational flexibility, the camera is programmable from 1 to 400Hz in full frame mode, has a sub-array windowing mode with integration time adjustable in 1us increments and smart external triggering capability synchronising image capture to transient events.

It has plug-and-play compatibility with standard computers as well as third party frame grabbers and image processing software.

Using either Camlink or GigE interfaces, the Silver 480M can transmit commands and transfer video images at 40MHz pixel rate and full 14bit dynamic range.

Image analysis software dedicated to thermal measurement comes as standard.

The Silver 480M is fully compatible with Cedip's Altair software allowing acquisition, display and analysis of complex thermographic processes such as welding, machining and microfluidic dynamics.

Using Altair-Li software, the Silver 480M provides complete non-destructive testing for pulse, phase pulse and lock-in thermography.

For stress analysis, the Silver 480M and Altair-Li software allow real time measurement on materials undergoing dynamic loading using the thermoelastic effect.
