Optical and thermal tracking of aircraft and drones
Specialised Imaging’s Lightweight Optical Motion Analysis (LOMA) system has been used to optically track an aircraft for several kilometres while simultaneously capturing the thermal signature of the aircraft over the same distance.
Thermal cameras provide insight into material properties
It has been reported by FLIR Systems how its FLIR A6700 series thermal cameras with Lock-In, Transient, and Pulse capabilities can perform advanced inspections such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) or stress mapping, resolving temperature differences as low as 1mK.
A virtuous cycle in the uncooled IR sensing market
Reportedly, 2018 could be the year when the uncooled infrared imager and detector market reaches a tipping point with the involvement of big companies. As a consequence, the industry is showing impressive volumes and CAGR. They announced an annual growth of seven percent in value over the 2018-2024 period.
Detecting gas leakage from a refrigeration plant compressor
It has been reported by FLIR Systems how its GF304 optical gas imaging camera has been used to detect Freon R-124 gas leaks from a refrigeration plant compressor without interrupting or shutting down operations. Most modern refrigerants are organofluorine compounds, and while they are not ozone-depleting, some blends contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Celebrate national engineers week 2019 with Digi-Key
Celebrate National Engineers Week with Digi-Key Electronics by taking part in its contest by unscrambling the daily puzzle for a chance to win great prizes from B&K Precision, Pomona, FLIR, and TE Connectivity.
Solving high-speed automotive testing challenges
A whitepaper has been published by FLIR Systems that discusses how new Infrared (IR) camera technologies are providing engineers and technicians with the tools they need to address the difficulties of high-speed automotive testing. Traditional forms of temperature measurement such as thermocouples are not practical for systems in motion.
Thermal imaging prevents breakouts
Steel breakouts are catastrophic process failures that are both extremely dangerous and costly. Monitoring the health of ladles and torpedoes using thermal imaging can greatly minimise the risk but a handheld infrared camera can only provide a periodic check on the health of these critical transport structures.ANT Automation has overcome this limitation by developing a system that provides continuous thermal monitoring and at its heart is FLIR th...
Validating rocket thermal protection
The University of Southern California (USC) Rocket Propulsion Lab has used a FLIR T540 thermal camera to provide valuable data at a level unattainable with thermocouples to measure performance of a rocket thermal protection system during engine firing.
Thermal Measurement Recording & Analysis Software
FLIR Systems announces update version 4.40of its popular thermal measurement, recording and analysis software - ResearchIR.
MWIR Camera for Real-time Thermal Analysis
FLIR Systems announces its A6750sc MWIR camera is suitable for recording fast thermal events due to its short exposure times and high frame rates.
