New cooled thermal camera for high speed industrial<br />
automation<br />
For automation applications<br />
that call for high sensitivity<br />
and fast integration as well<br />
as super accurate camera<br />
synchronisation and triggering,<br />
FLIR Systems has introduced its<br />
new, fixed mounted A66xx-Series.<br />
These are cooled cameras that<br />
are ideal for automated thermal<br />
inspection and process control<br />
on high speed production and<br />
processing lines.<br />
The FLIR A66xx thermal<br />
imaging cameras have a<br />
cooled Indium Antimonide<br />
(InSb) detector which reduces<br />
thermally-induced noise to<br />
be<strong>low</strong> that of the signal from the<br />
scene being imaged. As a <strong>res</strong>ult,<br />
these are the most sensitive in<br />
the standard FLIR A-Series range,<br />
able to see minute temperature<br />
differences, capture highspeed<br />
thermal events, measure<br />
temperatu<strong>res</strong> of very small<br />
targets and synchronise with<br />
other measuring devices.<br />
A big benefit of the InSb<br />
cyrocooler is that it al<strong>low</strong>s the<br />
FLIR A66xx to operate in the 3<br />
to 5 micron, mid-wave infrared<br />
band where thermal contrast is<br />
high. This is important because<br />
the higher the thermal contrast,<br />
the easier it is to detect objects<br />
against a background that offers<br />
little thermal difference.<br />
The detector produces crisp<br />
thermal images at 640 x 512<br />
pixel <strong>res</strong>olution with a thermal<br />
sensitivity of
