High-precision thermal testing
17/02/2020
FLIR Systems’ T530/T540 thermal imaging cameras are designed to offer research and development (R&D) scientists and engineers the resolution, crisp imagery and temperature accuracy needed to help improve product design, increase efficiency or gain insight into a target’s thermal behaviour.With the sensitivity to detect temperature differences of less than 0.03°C, the FLIR T530 and T540 allow hidden design flaws to be found and small thermal gradients to be tracked. These cameras offer a wide temperature range for quantifying heat generation and thermal dissipation up to 1500°C (T540). Measurements are accurate to ±2%, promoting quality assurance and factory acceptance of printed circuit boards and other products.
Not every target is large enough or close enough for proper measurement with a single lens. This is why FLIR designed the T500 Series with interchangeable 24°, 42° and 14° lenses as well as a macro lens, so the same camera can be used for every target that is surveyed. The camera auto-calibrates with each new lens to ensure it produces high-quality images and precise thermal measurements.
Using the FLIR T530/T540, images can be recorded with up to 464 × 348 true native resolution or enhanced to more than 645,000 pixels using FLIR UltraMax®, to enable the most accurate temperature measurements to be recorded. Activating Macro Mode allows small components to be measured down to 71 µm (T540) or down to 50 µm with the macro lens.
Incorporating a bright four-inch display and an optical block that rotates 180°, the FLIR T530 and T540 allow targets to be comfortably imaged and viewed at any angle, all day long. The T500 Series capacitive touchscreen is controlled via a highly intuitive menu that is easy to navigate, plus it can be customised with two programmable buttons.
The FLIR Research Studio software for T500 series cameras is designed to work the way its users do, with a simplified workflow for displaying, recording, viewing and analysing data. The software can be set up quickly on the preferred platform (Windows, MacOs or Linux) in more than 20 different languages. The streamlined, intuitive interface allows users of all levels to record and evaluate thermal data from multiple cameras and recorded sources, simultaneously. With the ability to save and share workspaces within the data file, colleagues can view the recorded data exactly as it was viewed originally, increasing efficiency and reducing the potential for measurement results to be misinterpreted due to poor translations.www.flir.com
