High-Speed Thermography
Infrared camera systems allow thermographic precision at highest speeds
- Snapshot detectors and complementary components provide for highest measurement speed
- High availability also with fastest data acquisition and handling large amounts of data
- Thermal behaviour of fast turning objects can be analysed
Special Components Provide High Frame Rate of Infrared Cameras

Fast infared camera systems with a frame rate ranging up to some kHz open thermography doors to new applications. The thermal behaviour of high speed processes can be monitored and analysed. An example is the optimisation of airbags as the heat distribution during the explosion can well be analysed.
High-speed thermography with frame rates of more than 100 kHz are based on special detectors and acquisition units. Especially their ability to acquire and read out data in parallel provides thermographic measurements precisely in a millisecond range. Those detectors are so-called snapshot detectors which are integrated by InfraTec in their ImageIR® infrared camera series.
Advantages of this Thermography Solutions in this Application
Flexible Software for Fast Acquisition and Analysis of Thermographic Data

Detector and read-out unit of the infrared camera are one part to be well compatible. The second part is the communication of the infrared camera and the computer by which the infrared camera will be controlled and temperature data will be acquired. InfraTec provides flexible and highly available solutions which cater for the most different customer needs. The acquisition and analysis software IRBIS® 3 is well made for handling high-speed thermography and the analysis of large amounts of data.
Besides its flexible standard solutions for high-speed thermography InfraTec also offers automated solutions for the thermal analysis of fast rotating objects. Using the software IRBIS® rotate tests of brake disks or tires can be thermally analysed.
