The main focus of FLIR Systems' research and development work is to introduce thermographic systems which take the operator from image capture to analysis and report generation
However, the number of sensors and corresponding wires increase exponentially with the complexity of the project.
Their application is also extremely time consuming and can physically impede results.
Furthermore, it is impossible to reproduce exact instrumentation positioning if a series of tests need to be performed.
Thanks to a new low cost camera package introduction by FLIR Systems, researchers can now achieve the best of all worlds - improved accuracy and repeatability of thermal analysis and the elimination of set-up time.
Designed for basic thermal testing and non-contact temperature measurement, the ThermaCAM SC300 Research package comprises a rugged IR camera with digital interface to dedicated software.
Together they provide affordable and powerful real-time thermal analysis capabilities for a wide variety of research projects.
Featuring uncooled microbolometer sensor technology and real-time digital analysis software, the SC300 provides high-definition longwave (7.5 to 13 m) imaging and allows detailed real-time digital thermal analysis.
As the camera is uncooled, it is instantly available for use once switched on.
Fully automated camera features, intuitive multi-lingual interface, a variety of lenses and powerful software, make the SC300 ideal for evaluating two-dimensional thermal performance of targets ranging from -20 to + 2000C.
The SC300 is exceptionally easy to use and provides the precise data engineers need to see, measure and quantify heat patterns.
With the introduction of the SC300, the scientific community now has five FLIR Systems thermal imaging systems from which to choose the most appropriate model to suit both scientific need and available budget. Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
