FLIR SC-Series Infrared Cameras
INFRARED CAMERAS FOR R&D APPLICATIONS
Every day researchers throughout the world are looking for new methods to help them solving their scientific questions. Infrared thermography has proven to be an invaluable tool to solve a wide variety of scientific problems based on heat and temperature measurement.
Because of its non-intrusive analysis capacity, thermography systems have become indispensable instruments for a wide variety of Research & Development applications.
Wide range of application areas
In Research & Development process control and product testing evaluation, accuracy and reliability are vitally important. That's why FLIR SC-Series cameras are widely used around the world for applications as diverse as micro-electronics, automotive and aerospace industries, plastics injection molding, consumer appliance design, target signatures, mechanical fatigue testing, plant and biology researches, material evaluation, airborne detection and much more. Our cameras are used for capturing thermal distribution and recording temporal variations in real time, allowing engineers to see and accurately measure heat production or dissipation process, leakage and other temperature factors in equipment, products and processes.
FLIR and Cedip joint forces
Since 2008 FLIR has become the majority shareholder of Cedip Infrared Systems. The two specialists have joined forces in the manufacturing and marketing of cooled mid- and long-wave infrared cameras for the science, R&D and security markets.
