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
