ImageIR® 6300
The ImageIR® 6300, as an extension of the ImageIR® series, offers entry into the class of infrared cameras with cooled photon detectors and provides users with enormous performance advantages at a very good price/performance ratio. Due to the latest SWaP detector technology and a robust, very compact construction, this camera is predestined for demanding OEM and continuous operation applications.

Small Pixel Pitch and Long Operating Time
The radiometrically calibrated system camera ImageIR® 6300 is equipped with a cooled focal plane array photon detector of the latest generation. By combining the detector format of (640 × 512) IR pixels with the very small pixel pitch of 10 µm, the camera delivers razor-sharp images. Due to its snapshot mode, moving objects can also be displayed without distortion and interruption (shutterless). The innovative XBn detector technology allows the detector to be operated at a significantly higher working temperature than the usual approximately 80 K. This allows the size, weight and power (SWaP) of the integrated detector/cooler unit to be minimised. The service life of the implemented cooler can thus be significantly increased to about 30,000 hours.
Its pixel pitch of only 10 µm gives the system camera a comparatively small pixel size. This allows for a compact optical design while maintaining high image quality. In combination with radiometric calibration, most precise measurement results can be achieved. With an optionally available integrated solid state drive (SSD), large amounts of data can be stored directly on the camera.
The ImageIR® 6300 is the first model in the ImageIR® series to feature a new integrated operating system. This opens up a wide range of new functions, such as fully autonomous camera operation without the need for an additional control PC. The camera can also be controlled via a web interface using a smartphone or tablet. In addition, users can run their own software directly on the camera and access the data stream directly via the integrated SDK.
Measurements with the ImageIR® 6300 can be carried out at two speeds. In normal mode, the camera achieves full frame rates of up to 180 Hz. With the binning function, the frame rate can be increased by more than three times to up to 620 Hz. This is made possible by combining four detector pixels into a single one. Thereby the sensitive pixel area is increased to compensate for the shorter integration times, and the readout of the pixel data is accelerated. At the same time, the thermal resolution improves by a factor of two in high-speed mode. Even higher frame rates can be achieved by reducing the field of view to freely definable subframe modes.
PEEL-SCAN – Checking seals using thermography
Plastic containers sealed with metallic films are often used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. With the PEEL-SCAN automation solution from InfraTec, defects in the seals can be detected, as can poor sealing seams between plastic and metal. Even the smallest defects that cause temperature differences of 20 mK can be detected with thermographic cameras such as the ImageIR® 6300 and visualised using IRBIS® software.
Non-destructive analysis of entire batches
Plastic containers are sealed with foil in the industrial production process fully automatically and at high cycle frequencies. This means that there is very little time available for quality control. Thermal imaging offers the possibility to evaluate the quality of the seal non-destructively in fractions of a second and continuously for each individual container.
During the sealing process, the sealing film is partially heated. As it melts, it bonds with the container. The quality of the seal can be inspected immediately afterwards, before the film has cooled down completely. The software compares the image captured with that of a flawless seal and uses temperature differences to detect defects in the sealing seams and in the sealing films.
The colours in the thermal image represent different calibrated temperature values. Deviations can be identified quickly and reliably, using analysis algorithms integrated into the thermography software. Containers with seals identified as faulty will be removed from further processing.
Easy to integrate, permanently reliable
For a long time, uncooled infrared cameras were used for checking seals and for similar tasks. However, due to their low frame rates, longer integration times and a line-by-line readout process (rolling shutter) which causes distortions in the imaging and measurement of moving objects, these systems quickly reach their limits.
The ImageIR® 6300 from InfraTec is ideal for monitoring fast processes, even in 24/7 operation. Due to an optimised cooler concept, the cost-effective infrared camera is permanently maintenance-free, even in difficult environments. The lightweight and compact ImageIR® 6300 can be easily integrated into the production line via plug & play and precisely controlled using fast triggers. The data obtained is stored directly on the infrared camera or transmitted uncompressed via Gigabit Ethernet to professional control units.
