Full HD Thermographic Solution

With its detector format of (1,920 ×1,536)IR pixels the ImageIR® 10300 sets new standards in geometric resolution worldwide and creates thermograms with an unprecedented image detail and sharpness. For the first time an infrared camera permits Full HD images for civil use with a cooled focal-plane array photon detector. In combination with the small pitch dimension of 10µm, this ensures that measurement, inspection and surveillance tasks can be solved even more efficiently than before. For example, wherever such very fine structures need to be analyzed on large-surface measurement objects, users save time, effort and thus costs. An integrated trigger interface guarantees a repeatable high-precision triggering of quick procedures.

Despite the detector format of about 3 Megapixels, the transfer of full frame images achieves a rate up to 113Hz. In subframe format even considerably higher frame rates are realizable. Thanks to the 10GigE interface of the ImageIR® 10300, users can store large amounts of measurement data on a computer in the shortest amount of time. The interface is a part of the modular design of the entire highend camera series ImageIR®. Individual adjustments can easily be realized like retrofitting a remotely controllable filter and aperture wheel or a motor focus unit. A broad variety of infrared lenses with highest optical performance parameters provides the camera’s outstanding thermal sensitivity.

Modular Design

The high-end camera series ImageIR® is characterized by outstanding metrological performance and previously unknown compactness and modular design. ImageIR® is the perfect camera for demanding users who need an extremely flexible thermal imaging system with maximum sensitivity, accuracy, geometric resolution and speed. The modular design facilitates individual system configurations that can be optimally tailored to the task on hand.

Motorized Focus

All interchangeable standard lens systems of the ImageIR® series can be combined with a motor focus unit, which is controlled by the camera operating software. It enables precise, remote and fast focusing. In addition, an autofocus function is available which operates reliably even with low image contrasts.

Separate Filter & Aperture Wheel – Spectral Thermography

The combination of a separate filter and aperture wheel, allowing a total of 30 freely selectable combinations, is prerequisite for an universal application in measurement tasks with high object temperatures and in the field of spectral thermography. The neutral density filters used for signal attenuation or the combination of spectral filters and apertures reliably prevent interference effects.

1. Lens: High quality precision lenses allow the adaptation of the image geometry to almost every measuring situation. Its performance parameters are calibrated with respect to functionality, quality and flexible application. Due to proper IR-transparent lens materials and high-precision anti-reflection coating, the lenses are optimized for different spectral ranges. Additional macro accessory lenses reduce the working distance, increase the geometrical resolution and guarantee highest imaging quality.
2. Interfacing and Communication: Numerous ports can be found on the front and backside of the ImageIR®. The front is equipped with ports for external sensors, motor focus and zoom lenses. At the back side of the ImageIR® the 10 GigE /GigE interface respectively CAMLink /DualCAMLink data interface are located as well as the trigger interface, CAN-Bus-RS232- and USB connector.
3. 10 GigE-Interface: This GigE-Vision compatible, industrial-grade interface enables an extremely reliable high-speed data transmission with high electromagnetic noise immunity even across exceedingly long distances. In comparison to conventional GigE interfaces, it provides a 10 times higher transmission speed.
4. Trigger and Process Interface: The camera series ImageIR® is equipped with a snapshot detector. It guarantees a repeatable time-driven and event driven high-precision data recording in conjunction with the internal trigger and process interface. Two respective inputs and outputs are used to control the camera or to generate digital control signals for external devices. Additional digital and analogue in- and outputs are available in connection with the process interface of the IRBIS® 3 software.
5. Detector Unit: Modern high-performance photon detectors of different formats, spectral ranges and detector materials can be implemented application specifically.
6. Long-life Stirling Cooler:  The high-quality Stirling coolers, used in the ImageIR®, guarantee a short cool-down time as well as a maintenance-free, long-term and low-vibration operation. Up to 15,000 hours of operation can be achieved with these latest generation long-life coolers.
7. Power Supply : The camera comes with a wide range power supply but can also be powered with external DC sources or batteries.
8. Camera Housing with Handle: The housing is designed for use in industrial environments and is precision machined out of high-tensile aluminum alloys for maximum protection and thermal stability. The handle on top allows safe transportation.
9. Tripod Connector: The standardized tripod connector allows an installation on different tripods or pan-tilt solutions for both process-integrated continuous operation and laboratory application. Additional mechanical connectors in line with the principal axis make integration into automated inspection systems easy.
