Infrared camera systems allow thermographic precision at highest speeds
Snapshot detectors and complementary components provide for highest measurement speed
High availability also with fastest data acquisition and handling large amounts of data
Thermal behaviour of fast turning objects can be analysed
Fast infrared camera systems with a frame rate ranging up to some kHz open thermography doors to new applications. The thermal behaviour of high speed processes can be monitored and analysed. An example is the optimisation of airbags as the heat distribution during the explosion can well be analysed.
High-speed thermography with frame rates of more than 100 kHz are based on special detectors and acquisition units. Especially their ability to acquire and read out data in parallel provides thermographic measurements precisely in a microsecond range. Those detectors are so-called snapshot detectors which are integrated by InfraTec in their ImageIR® infrared camera series.
