The ThermoVision A20-series is an affordable solution for fixed mounted infrared, measurement and imaging applications for R+D and process control applications
In recent years infrared camera design and specification have progressed significantly - a typical example is Flir Systems' Thermacam E2 camera - the world's smallest infrared thermal imager which has made thermography an affordable tool for all maintenance engineers.
Now with the ThermoVision A20-series, Flir Systems extends the boundaries of the technology for manufacturers too.
The ThermoVision A20-series is an affordable solution for fixed mounted infrared, measurement and imaging applications for R+D and process control applications.
Packaged in a compact unit weighing less than 800 grams, the ThermoVision A20 is rugged, shock-resistant and suitable for discrete mounting on an automated production line or test bench.
Its size makes it ideal for applications where space is at a premium.
These attributes are complemented by an unprecedented choice of connectivity options.
For fast image and data transfer of real-time, fully radiometric 16-bit images at 50/60Hz frame rate, the user can choose an IEEE-1394 FireWire digital output.
For network and/or multiple camera installations, ethernet connectivity is available.
Two models complete the series.
The ThermoVision A20-M is for industrial and automated machine vision applications requiring accurate, non-contact temperature measurement.
The ThermoVision A20-V is designed for imaging applications and is the ideal choice for surveillance and safety applications.
Both operate within the temperature range of -20C to 900C, and both produce crisp high quality infrared images of 160x120 pixels at video rates of 50/60Hz, enabling fast-moving and low temperature targets to be viewed with exceptional image clarity.
Fully configured and straightforward input/output functionality allows the ThermoVision A20 cameras to be integrated quickly and easily into any control system or set-up as a stand-alone configuration.
High-quality thermal images can also be viewed on a PC or monitor.
The camera can be fully controlled either from the PC or with the integrated keyboard.
Conveniently sited at the top of the camera, the keyboard is ideal for situations where the camera and PC are remote from one another or during the set-up and initialisation of the system; just a few buttons control all camera features.
Feedback from existing users of infrared-thermography indicated a strong need for an affordable and user-friendly system that promises minimal downtime.
Flir Systems are certain that its specifically developed A-Series will not only meet this need but also rapidly extend the market for fixed mounted infrared camera systems.
