Compact infrared camera with temperature measurement
capabilities for industrial automation
Infrared vision
systems are used worldwide in a variety of industries to monitor
continuous processes. Infrared can easily detect thermal information
on product quality and/or production efficiency that is difficult or
impossible to capture using conventional means such as thermocouples
or visible light cameras. The ThermoVision A40-M is an affordable
and accurate temperature measurement system. It is the ideal choice
for industrial and automation applications requiring accurate
non-contact temperature measurement.
Precision non-contact temperature measurement and
excellent image quality
The ThermoVision A40-M allows you
to see temperature differences as small as 0.08°C in a range from
-40°C up to +500°C (up to 2,000°C optional). It produces crisp high-
resolution images (320 x 240 pixels) offering more than 76,800
individual measurement points per image at a refresh rate of 50/60
Hz.
Extensive connectivity options: FireWire or
Ethernet
The A40-M features a choice of connectivity
options. For real-time image and fast data transfer of fully
radiometric 16-bit images, you can choose for an IEEE-1394 FireWire
digital output.For network and/or multiple camera installations,
Ethernet connectivity is available. Each A40-M can be equipped with
its own unique URL allowing it to be addressed independently via its
Ethernet connection. It allows controlling all menu systems of the
camera and provides instant access to A40-M thermal images for any
authorized user with a web browser. Images are streamed in semi
real-time.
Input / output functionality
Fully
configured I/O functionality allows the A40-M either to be
integrated quickly and easily in your control systems or to be set
up as a stand-alone system. The operator can set and modify up to 4
areas in the camera’s field of view. If, for example, the
temperature within one of these areas rises above or falls below a
predefined value, an alarm will go off.
Ultra compact, rugged and
lightweight
Its compact and ultra-light design allows the
A40-M to be mounted in hard-to-get-at locations in your production
line.
Easy operation: plug and play
Simply
connect the camera to a PC or a monitor and produce high-quality
real-time radiometric images. The camera can be fully controlled
either from the PC or with the integrated keyboard.
Integrated keyboard
For those
applications where the infrared camera and the PC are a distance
away from each other, the ThermoVision A40-M has an integrated
keyboard. With a few buttons, conveniently placed at the top of the
camera, you can control all features.
Multiple programming options
The A40-M
calibrated measurement output can be easily used to control a
process. No need for months of programming. For application
developers FLIR Systems offers two software components. A
ThermoVision SDK-kit for Visual Basic / C++ programmers and a
ThermoVision LabView™ Toolkit for those familiar with National
Instruments LabView. Both software kits are based on ActiveX
technology.
