Thermographic analysis of mechanical processes

In our online seminar, we present the use of thermography for process control and for researching friction processes. Our experts explain how to select the right IR camera for your specific task and which functions of InfraTec IR cameras are essential for your application.

Friction generates heat

Friction is omnipresent. External friction between contacting outer surfaces of solids occurs, for example, in the rolling resistance of vehicles or in the abrasion of mechanical connections. Internal friction is effective in deformation processes within solids, liquids and gases between neighboring particles.

Typical of all friction processes is that heat is generated. This heat can be made visible and measurable using thermography. High-resolution thermal IR cameras allow the smallest temperature differences or temperature gradients to be determined – even in fast processes.

Thermal imaging cameras from InfraTec can not only be used to monitor mechanical wear processes (machine health), but also to detect crack formation or determine material strength – they also make an indispensable contribution to experimental mechanics. In addition to tribological measurements, friction processes can be comprehensively [UB1] with regard to quality and quantity, for example the behavior of lubricating oils up to the point of film breakage or the deformation-mechanical properties of material composites under tensile and compressive stress.

InfraTec's online events give you the opportunity to learn more about the possibilities of thermography in your demanding field of activity in a concentrated form. Meet colleagues for professional exchange and get to know innovative product news as well as system solutions from InfraTec.

Spectral Thermography – Basics and Application
Online Event
Spectral Thermography – Basics and Application
2025-09-30 | 10:00 CEST - 12:00 CESTVirtual

Standard thermography reaches its limits when measuring through glass, flames or reflective surfaces. Spectral thermography uses selected IR wavelength ranges (SWIR, MWIR, LWIR) to enable precise temperature measurements under these conditions. Join our online event to learn about the fundamentals, applications and system requirements for successful spectral thermography.
