The affordable, uncooled thermal imaging camera
With the introduction of the new ThermaCAM SC500, FLIR Systems is able to extend the benefits of its patented solid state microbolometer detector techlogy to the R and D community.
Flir Systems ThermoVision A Series cameras are uncooled, compact, lightweight thermal imaging systems designed for a wide range of applications.
They monitor production processes on the manufacturing floor, provide safety inside or outside buildings and acquire research data in the lab.
A Series cameras measure temperatures from -20 to +2000C and detect temperature differences as small as 0.1C.
The cameras are available with analogue or digital input and output and provide FireWire or Ethernet connectivity options.
Frost and Sullivan analysts singled out the thermal cameras' radiometric features (their ability to indicate the temperature of objects) as "a significant characteristic for certain industrial applications where a mere thermal image cannot be used to differentiate or detect malfunctions or defects", stating that "this feature makes Flir systems cameras more advanced than many other thermal cameras".
The analyst team appreciated the A Series' advanced and versatile alarm functionality, which can trigger various actions, as well as its web-server feature enabling the cameras to perform as an automatic control and monitoring system.
"There is a lot of market potential for smart fix-mounted infra-red cameras", says Guy Pas, Flir Thermography Division Vice President Sales and Marketing Europe and Asia.
"We are happy that the A Series cameras are gaining acceptance in the market and proud that they have been noticed and awarded by Frost and Sullivan". Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
