ULTRA COMPACT, LOW COST THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA FOR MACHINE VISION
12/11/2012 FLIR Systems UK (*Teledyne FLIR)
The small size of the new FLIR A35 brings effective, discrete and affordable thermal imaging to any production line. It is fully compliant with both GeniCam™ and GigE Vision™ protocols making it instantly ready for quick and easy network installation. Communication and power are supplied via one cable.The FLIR A35 is the perfect choice for open loop, high speed applications whose quality and control can be governed by thermal contrast rather than accurate temperature measurement.
Image frequency is 60Hz and users can choose the performance that best suits the need; 8-bit streaming of high contrast non-radiometric data or 14-bit image streaming that provides the edge for a wide range of real-time vision applications.
Thanks to its 336 x 256 pixels resolution and <50mK sensitivity, the uncooled FLIR A35 captures clear image details and small temperature variants in a range from -40-—¦C to +550-—¦C. It is designed to make it easy for the manufacturer to validate and increase product quality and throughput, minimise waste and improve profitability.
GeniCAM™ provides a generic programming interface for quick and easy set up. GigE Vision™ allows fast image transfer using low cost standard cables over long distances. Both standards also allow the seamless integration software - and similarly compliant equipment - from different vendors, considerably extending the camera's scope of application.
Multiple FLIR A35 cameras can be synchronised whereby one is configured as the master and additional units as slaves, a common requirement for safety applications.
The FLIR A35 is supplied with a choice of 19mm or 9mm fixed focus lens. FLIR remains the only infrared manufacturer to produce its own lenses, an important benefit as it ensures the lens is optimally suited to its thermal imaging task.
