EDITOR ’ S CHOICE THERMAL IMAGERY
QUANTUM DESIGN UK AND IRELAND
We offer one of the largest selections of Thermal Imaging Cameras to suit every application
Quantum Design UK and Ireland ( QD-UKI ) have teamed up with the world leaders to provide an extensive range of imaging cameras , including thermal imaging , high speed , SWIR , CCD and EMCCD and X-Ray Cameras .
We distribute cameras for Specim , Raptor Photonics and InfraTec . Below is just of some examples of the application areas they are working in and the latest news .
ADVANCING GEOLOGY WITH HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING
Hyperspectral imagery is a powerful technology to locate minerals that are exposed or weathered in areas of residual soil . The foremost airborne application of hyperspectral imagery provides mineral mapping for exploration clients in the mining , oil , gas , and geothermal sectors over large and often remote and inaccessible areas .
Find out more about the SisuROCK workstation , a fully automated hyperspectral core imaging instrument for easy and high-speed scanning of drill cores and other geological samples .
PRESTIGIOUS INNOVATION AWARD FOR NEW OWL 640T CAMERA - the World ’ s First SWaP Optimised ½ ” / VGA InGaAs Sensor with VIS-SWIR Response
Raptor Photonics , a leader in innovative digital camera solutions has launched the OWL 640T camera . The 640T has already been recognised among the best in machine vision by the judges of the Vision Systems Design 2021 Innovators Awards program .
• ½ ” Sensor Format – Better for optical design , ideal for OEM integration into Electro-Optic systems
• 10μm x 10μm Pixel Pitch – Compatible with VIS-SWIR illuminators , markers & pointers
• < 50 Electrons Readout Noise – Enables a high VIS-SWIR detection limit
• On-board Automated Gain Control
( AGC ) – Enables clear video in all light conditions
• On-board Intelligent 3-point NUC – Enables highest quality photos
THERMOGRAPHY IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
The ultimate marketing tool for presenting cars ’ safety are , certainly , crash tests - one of the worst testing methods for engineers and controllers since , in the course of this process , the device under test will be destroyed . Thermal imaging helps to make defects visible without damaging the device under test on its testing . Therefore , functions of catalysts as well as electric systems of cars and motor assemblies can also be tested with the help of infrared camera systems .
• Reconcile thermal behaviour of components with their standard behaviour
• Non-destructive testing allows precise and efficient quality control
• Integration into complex text solutions through interfaces to LabVIEW and MATLAB
• Analysis instruments for fast-rotating objects , such as tires or brakes
