Infrared thermography for scientific applications
The ThermaCAM SC640 is an infrared camera that will help scientists throughout the world solve their problems. Infrared thermography has proven to be an invaluable tool to solve a wide range of scientific questions and problems. Because of its non-destructive analysis capacities, thermography systems are an important instrument in a wide variety of Research and Development applications.
Thermogaphy is the production of temperature calibrated infrared or heat pictures by utilizing an infrared camera. Based on these thermal images, accurate temperature measurements can be made to detect even the smallest temperature differences. Numerous researchers, active either in product development, applied or fundamental research, have discovered that infrared is a reliable and quick non-destructive method to help them in their daily work.
Advantages of Infrared
Heat patterns are very difficult to predict. This means that it is not always possible to know where to attach the thermocouples necessary to make accurate measurements and effectively evaluate heat
dissipation. Furthermore, since the thermocouple needs to be in contact with the component to be tested, it can influence the results of the measurement. The ThermaCAM SC640 has the advantage that it produces very comprehensive images in a non-contact mode. Even if it is not clear where the exact location of the problem might be, it will clearly show up, sometimes at the most unexpected location, in the easy-to-understand, crisp 640 x 480 pixels, infrared image.
New infrared technology
The ThermaCAM SC640 can produce very high-resolution images (640 x 480 pixels) so that crisp thermal images can be taken of even the smallest of objects in a non-contact mode. The ThermaCAM SC640, is especially designed for the most demanding scientific applications and detects the smallest temperature differences over a very wide temperature range. Frames can be captured, and stored, in real-time, at high frame rates allowing for detailed and extensive analysis of highly dynamic events typically found in R&D environments.
Unlimited applications
Scientific applications for infrared thermography are numerous and can be found in the most
diverse markets. FLIR Systems ThermaCAM SC640 provides the ability to view thermal distribution palettes in real-time for products as small as hybrid IC circuits and as large as jet or rocket engines.
Research and development
The ThermaCAM SC640 is an excellent tool for R&D related applications. Thanks to its 640 x 480 pixels image resolution you can see the smallest of details. The FireWire interface allows to feed infrared data, radiometric or RAW data directly into ThermaCAM Researcher™ software for real-time analysis of the captured images. Furthermore, real-time radiometric sequences can be stored on high capacity (1 GB) SD-cards.
Multi-angle handle with integrated buttons allows for easy operation
No matter what, no matter where, no matter how. The ThermaCAM SC640’s turnable control grip allows you to move the camera in the most comfortable position. The buttons and joystick to control the
ThermaCAM SC640 are integrated in this
handle and stay always right underneath your fingertips. Just 2 buttons and a joystick control the entire ThermaCAM SC640 and allow point-and-shoot operation. Functions like auto-focus, freezing and storing of images, are just a
button away.
Tiltable viewfinder
In bright light conditions, look at the object through the high resolution color viewfinder and see a bright infrared image. Adjust the viewfinder to the best angle.
Store infrared video sequences
With the ThermaCAM SC640 you can record full radiometric video sequences on a removable SD card. A considerable advantage when you are inspecting moving targets. In-camera play-back allows you to view recordings, without the need for a PC. Recorded data can also be transferred intoThermaCAM Researcher for further analysis.
Video streaming of non-radiometric infrared sequences
Available directly from the camera connected to your PC. Both FireWire and USB connections can be used.
Ergonomic portable and rugged magnesium housing
The ThermaCAM SC640 is not only very
user-friendly but also extremely light and easy to carry. Including battery, the P640 weighs only 1.7
kg. It is designed for users that need to carry the camera around several hours a day. The ThermaCAM SC640 is a professional instrument designed to stand tough handling in field use. The strong magnesium housing protects its vital internal core from shocks and vibrations. Dust- and
water splash proof it meets IP54 standard. Use it in the harshest
environments.
Customized software
FLIR Systems ThermaCAM Researcher allows plug and play. It is very easy to use for static or real-time image analysis. It contains powerful measurement and analysis functions for extensive temperature analysis, including isotherms, line profiles, area histograms, image subtraction capability and many more. Windows® based and extremely versatile, ThermaCAM Researcher adds a new level of power and flexibility to thermal imaging by offering extensive analysis capabilities as well as high speed data acquisition.
Researcher seamlessly stores, retrieves and analyses IR images and data directly from your IR camera allowing in-depth and precise evaluation of thermal performance.
