Geometric Resol­u­tion of 3.1 Mega­pixels Due to an Integ­rated Micro­Scan Feature

The MicroScan technology works opto-mechanical and is designed for permanent operation. Due to FPA detectors of the latest generation with (1,024 × 768) IR pixels, this technology allows for a quadruplication of IR measurement pixels. They show real temperature values but not interpolated pixels. This opens up several new fields of application. Old measurement tasks become more efficient and therefore, valuable working time and costs are saved. Large-scale or far-flung measurement objects can now be recorded in one, fast, precise and complete recording due to the unique MicroScan technology.

Unres­tricted Oper­a­tion of the Infrared Camera in Harsh Indus­trial Envir­on­ments

The robust light metal housing (protection degree IP67*) provides reliable protection for the high sensitive optronics of the device. In addition, it guarantees trouble-free operation even in harsh industrial environments and keeps constant the excellent optical and metrological performance parameters of the device over a long service life. In this way a long-term and trouble-free operation of the VarioCAM® HD head is guaranteed. The usage of a high-quality LEMO connector technology ensures a high protection degree of the infrared camera even for computer-based network operations. For applications in extreme ambient conditions there are suitable protective housings available, for example made of stainless steel. These are optionally equipped with a cooling, heating or both.

Permanent Auto­focus for Optimal Focusing

Constantly changing object scenes require manual or automatic refocusing activated by the user. The integrated permanent autofocus function facilitates this work. In case there is a scene change the camera automatically adopts fast and precise the optimal focusing.

Storage of Fast Infrared Sequences with up to 240 Hz

In case of sudden temperature changes, the infrared camera VarioCAM® High Definition provides a sub-frame modus (“subwindowing”) that is usually only found in cooled infrared cameras. The VarioCAM® HD series allows recording of infrared sequences with frame rates up to 240 Hz. In order to reach such high frame rates, each time a defined section of the detector is being read.

The following frame rates are available:

  • Full-frame with(1,024 × 768) IR pixels: 30 Hz

  • Sub-frame with (640 × 480) IR pixels: 60 Hz

  • Sub-frame with (320 × 240) IR pixels: 120 Hz

  • Sub-frame with (1,024 × 96) IR pixels: 240 Hz

High-preci­sion Calib­ra­tion of Infrared Cameras Enables for High Accuracy of Meas­ure­ments

The infrared camera VarioCAM® High Definition is calibrated using special algorithms. The specially developed calibration algorithm, with more than just a few calibration curves, is used for compensation of temperature fluctuations. Therefore, highest measuring accuracy and repeatability even at changing environmental temperatures is ensured. The exceptional high measuring accuracy can be reached across a wide temperature range.

Detec­tion of Minor Defects through High Thermal Resol­u­tion

The thermal resolution describes the process to dissolve slightest temperature differences and thus, can display this measurement value. The infrared cameras of the VarioCAM® HD series have a high thermal resolution of up to 0.02 K that helps to display even slightest temperature differences with accuracy. In combination with the high-performance lenses this helps to detect critical faults at an early stage and display these in excellent quality.

Compre­hensive Range of Preci­sion Inter­change­able Lenses Enables for a Wide Range of Applic­a­tions

Due to the comprehensive range of lenses for infrared cameras, a wide range of measurement objects is available, starting with micro thermography to telephoto lens applications for objects in a large distance. The optics of the VarioCAM® HD series were designed as uncompromising full lenses with an opening number of 1.0, highest transmission and transmission quality as well as low distortion.

Auto­matic Func­tions of the Infrared Camera

The numerous automatic functions, such as autofocus, automatic image optimisation, automatic hotspot display, automatic calibration range switch etc. enable a fast and effective operation.

InfraTec & KWS Saat - Thermography in Plant Research ©KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA

The Seeds of the Future

Environmental conditions today often tend towards extremes. Many areas are very humid and wet, while others are predominantly dry. Particularly in the second case, cultivating raw materials such as grain, beet or maize is a challenge. A challenge that KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA is facing. As part of its plant research, the company uses the VarioCAM® HD head 900 infrared camera from InfraTec to analyse the behaviour of plants during drought stress and pest infestation.

Thermal 3D Mapping

The merging of temperature information with data from 3D scans provides a major benefit, especially in building thermography. Corresponding models open up the possibility of investigating heat distribution in buildings even more precisely. This enables users, for example, to determine where thermal irregularities and leaks occur and how large their dimensions are. Laser specialist RIEGL uses an infrared camera VarioCAM® HD head 900 from InfraTec for such a combined measurement and testing system.
