BB200

HIGHLY ACCURATE BLACK BODY RADIATION SOURCE

The Workswell BB200 is a highly accurate black-body radiation source for infrared thermography. The BB200 offers continuous temperature settings from 30°C-200°C (86 °F to 392 °F), with a 0.1°C (0.18 °F) single step. Its surface, a 100mm-diameter, temperature-stabilized area, is designed with pyramid shapes that increase emission stability and reduce reflective effects. With a surface emissivity of 0.95 ±0.005 for the LWIR spectrum and a long-term time stability that is better than ±0.08%, the BB200 takes thermography to the next level. For more information on the black-body principle, please read our educational article on the topic.

Description

SIMPLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE CALIBRATOR

This black-body meets the demand for a simple, cost-effective, high-accuracy calibrator for thermal cameras used to screen febrile subjects. The unit’s mounting hole accommodates a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread, and its housing material is a special Teflon body with aluminum parts. The BB200’s temperature value can be saved to the device’s memory, which loads automatically when connected to a power supply. The BB200 is also equipped with OLED display for visualizing both set and actual surface temperature values.

We designed the BB200 to play a critical role within the Workswell MEDICAS thermal imaging system, which is aligned with IEC 80601-2-59 and ISO 16142 standards.

SDK FOR DEVELOPING CUSTOM APPLICATIONS

A library (SDK – standard development kit) for developing custom applications is available for the Workswell BB200 black body. This SDK allows reliable integration and remote control of the BB200 with your application or device via RS485 or USB-C. Virtual panel screen from the sample application is on the left image.

Comprehensive manual and also a sample application is available for a quick understanding of SDK functions and is included in the package.

For communication you can use nine-pin RS485 cable or an USB-C cable (available from version 1.4.17 and above). RS485 cable, RS485 to USB converter and USB cable are available in the kit as optional accessories.
