ImageIR® 9800
The new ImageIR® 9800 is the ideal device for high-resolution thermographic measurements of highly dynamic processes, even at low object temperatures. The radiometrically calibrated infrared camera, operating in the long-wave atmospheric window (LWIR), delivers razor-sharp images and distortion-free sequences even with short integration times and at low radiation intensity. This is made possible, among other things, by a cooled focal plane array photon detector with (1,280 × 1,024) IR pixels and a pixel pitch of 12 µm.
Thermal resolution of 30 mK
Short integration times, even at low radiation intensities
Measurement accuracy ± 1 °C or ± 1 %
High resolution thermal images for monitoring large areas
Highly accurate and repeatable measurements
Analysis of extreme temperature changes and gradients in full frame
Precise detection of smallest temperature differences @30°C: 0.03 K
Smaller pixel sizes avoid geometrical measurement errors
Accurate temperature measurements of fast processes
Measurement in the range of (7.7 … 12.5) µm
Monitoring the condition of wind turbine rotor blades during operation presents a major challenge for many standard infrared cameras. The ImageIR® 9800, which operates in the LWIR spectral range between (7.7…12.5) µm with a cooled photon detector, masters this task with flying colours. This camera reliably captures highly dynamic processes requiring extremely short integration times, even at low radiation intensities (e.g., low surface temperatures). Combined with appropriate telephoto lenses, InfraTec's new ImageIR® series model also allows for temperature measurements of objects located at great distances.
Fast Measurement, Broad Temperature Range
The ImageIR® 9800 allows full-frame images to be captured at frame rates of 180 Hz. In sub-frame mode, the frame rate can be increased to more than three times this value. Thanks to extremely short integration times and snapshot mode – where all detector pixels are exposed simultaneously instead of sequentially line by line – images remain sharp and distortion-free even when test objects move at high relative speeds within the image field. This is essential for accurate, unadulterated thermographic temperature measurement. Precise analysis of fast-moving objects is further supported by a wide range of trigger options for pinpointed, repeatable, time- or event-controlled data recording.
This new high-end InfraTec camera also demonstrates its strengths in tasks such as monitoring combustion gases or exhaust gas flows from vehicles at long distances. Thanks to the HDR function, the ImageIR® 9800 can capture extremely large temperature gradients and variations between -40 °C and 3,000 °C fault-free and continuously. An integrated filter wheel automatically provides filters appropriate for the respective measurement range.
When it comes to detecting thermal signatures and distant objects, the ImageIR® 9800 is the perfect counterpart to the ImageIR® 9400. Both IR cameras are equipped with high-resolution SXGA detectors, cover a wide field of view (FOV), and their spectral ranges – (7.7 ... 12.5) μm and (1.5... 5.5) µm – complement each other perfectly.
InfraTec ImageIR® High-end Infrared Camera Series
Clear Images, Precise Measurement Data
Regardless of the specific measurement task, the ImageIR® 9800 always delivers razor-sharp images with high spatial resolution and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. With a thermal resolution of 30 mK and a measurement accuracy of 1%, this robust camera is the ideal choice for a wide range of demanding industrial and research applications. The integrated linear motor focus – one of many optional features – simplifies handling and guarantees optimum measurement results, even in challenging scenarios.
ImageIR® 9800: The Customised Solution for a Wide Range of Measurement Tasks
Like all cameras in the ImageIR® series, the ImageIR® 9800 has a modular design and can be equipped with a wide range of lenses. This allows for individual configurations tailored to the user's specific requirements. If the measurement task changes, the infrared camera can be retrofitted to meet the new demands.
A modern interface concept forms the foundation for the performance and flexibility of the ImageIR® 9800 in terms of data acquisition and processing. Via the 10 GigE interface, high-resolution full-frame images with frame rates of up to 180 Hz can be stored and processed directly on a high-performance PC or laptop. The ImageIR® 9800 features four configurable digital and analogue inputs and two outputs for camera control and the output of control signals.
