Thermography for Industrial Automation Quality – Assurance at the Highest Level

Optimizing industrial processes is essential for companies that want to remain competitive in the long term. Increased productivity with the same or better quality and low costs can often be achieved through customized automation solutions. 

When optimizing production processes, the recording of temperature and its progression over time often plays a crucial role. Conventional contact-based methods can rarely measure temperature deviations quickly and accurately enough without delaying the production process. As an imaging temperature measurement method that can be tailored to a wide range of measurement tasks, thermography has become an indispensable tool for quality assurance in series production.  

Thermal Imaging in Industrial Automation Offers Various Benefits, Including:

• Fast, contactless and completely non-intrusive control during the ongoing process

• Flexible adaptation to measurement tasks and specific needs

• Evaluation and documentation using integrated software

• Automatic triggering of follow-up processes

• Versatile application options from cost-effective to highly precise

Thermography in Industrial Automation: Versatile and Flexible
Whether analysing electronic and semiconductor components, measuring temperature distribution on thermoformed sheet metal or monitoring the temperature control of die-cast moulds: thermal imaging can be used to measure temperatures in a wide range from – 40 °C to over 2,000 °C, detecting even the slightest temperature differences of up to a few thousandths of a degree.

There are as many system solutions as there are individual measurement tasks. As the universally applicable system does not exist, we provide you with a modular system. This allows the selection of individual components, such as the infrared camera module with SDK, for example, or an individual, turnkey system solution can be put together for you by our colleagues. Based on specific examples, you will learn how our customers use these options.
