ImageIR 9800

The new ImageIR® 9800 is the ideal device for high-resolution thermographic measurements of highly dynamic processes, even at low object temperatures. The radiometrically calibrated infrared camera, operating in the long-wave atmospheric window (LWIR), delivers razor-sharp images and distortion-free sequences even with short integration times and at low radiation intensity. This is made possible, among other things, by a cooled focal plane array photon detector with (1,280 × 1,024) IR pixels and a pixel pitch of 12 µm.

  • Short integration times for analyzing fast processes, even at low radiation intensities
  • Measurement of objects at great distances using telephoto lenses
  • Sharp and distortion-free images even for fast-moving objects
  • Thermal resolution of 0.03 K and measurement accuracy of 1%

Description

Fast Measurement, Broad Temperature Range

The ImageIR® 9800 allows full-frame images to be captured at frame rates of 180 Hz. In sub-frame mode, the frame rate can be increased to more than three times this value. Thanks to extremely short integration times and snapshot mode – where all detector pixels are exposed simultaneously instead of sequentially line by line – images remain sharp and distortion-free even when test objects move at high relative speeds within the image field. This is essential for accurate, unadulterated thermographic temperature measurement. Precise analysis of fast-moving objects is further supported by a wide range of trigger options for pinpointed, repeatable, time- or event-controlled data recording.

This new high-end InfraTec camera also demonstrates its strengths in tasks such as monitoring combustion gases or exhaust gas flows from vehicles at long distances. Thanks to the HDR function, the ImageIR® 9800 can capture extremely large temperature gradients and variations between -40 °C and 3,000 °C fault-free and continuously. An integrated filter wheel automatically provides filters appropriate for the respective measurement range.

When it comes to detecting thermal signatures and distant objects, the ImageIR® 9800 is the perfect counterpart to the ImageIR® 9400. Both IR cameras are equipped with high-resolution SXGA detectors, cover a wide field of view (FOV), and their spectral ranges – (7.7 … 12.5) μm and (1.5… 5.5) µm – complement each other perfectly.

Integ­rated Trigger / Process Inter­face and Inter­faces – Digit­ally Controlling of a Infrared Camera and External Devices

The internal trigger interface guarantees highly precise, repeatable triggering. Each of the two configurable digital inputs and outputs are used to control the camera or to generate digital control signals for external devices. In this way, for example, the operation of a printed circuit board and the interval of a measurement can be synchronised.

The selection of different camera interfaces allows the processing of analog data, such as the voltage directly through the camera and thus the insertion of this information into the thermal image data. Relevant variables can be included in the evaluations with the software, which makes it easier to draw conclusions about the causes of temperature changes.

Clear Images, Precise Measurement Data

Regardless of the specific measurement task, the ImageIR® 9800 always delivers razor-sharp images with high spatial resolution and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. With a thermal resolution of 30 mK and a measurement accuracy of 1%, this robust camera is the ideal choice for a wide range of demanding industrial and research applications. The integrated linear motor focus – one of many optional features – simplifies handling and guarantees optimum measurement results, even in challenging scenarios.

ImageIR® 9800: The Customised Solution for a Wide Range of Measurement Tasks

Like all cameras in the ImageIR® series, the ImageIR® 9800 has a modular design and can be equipped with a wide range of lenses. This allows for individual configurations tailored to the user’s specific requirements. If the measurement task changes, the infrared camera can be retrofitted to meet the new demands.

A modern interface concept forms the foundation for the performance and flexibility of the ImageIR® 9800 in terms of data acquisition and processing. Via the 10 GigE interface, high-resolution full-frame images with frame rates of up to 180 Hz can be stored and processed directly on a high-performance PC or laptop. The ImageIR® 9800 features four configurable digital and analogue inputs and two outputs for camera control and the output of control signals.
