Professional and Universal Cameras VarioCAM® High Definition

The MicroScan technology works opto-mechanical and is designed for permanent operation. Due to FPA detectors of the latest generation with (1,024 × 768) IR pixels, this technology allows for a quadruplication of IR measurement pixels. They show real temperature values but not interpolated pixels. This opens up several new fields of application. Old measurement tasks become more efficient and therefore, valuable working time and costs are saved. Large-scale or far-flung measurement objects can now be recorded in one, fast, precise and complete recording due to the unique MicroScan technology.

The innovative EverSharp function allows all objects in the image scene to be brought sharply into focus, regardless of how far these are from the camera and which lens is used. Special algorithms ensure an automatic combination of several images with different focusing (multifocus images). In the resulting thermal image, a result from up to ten individual exposures, all object structures are thus sharply displayed so that the entire scene can be displayed and measured with the highest possible accuracy. The quality of the images depends entirely on the depth of focus of the lens used or the distance of the measuring objects from the camera. This means that the operation of the thermal imaging camera is even more convenient for the user.

This modern function redefines professional capturing of thermographic images. Using the integrated laser range finder, the measurable minimum object size that is still error-free is determined for the current combination of detector format and lens and displayed in the daylight compatible, large colour TFT display of the camera. The user can vary the distance to the measuring object with this so that measurement errors due to geometry can safely be avoided. This additional information can be saved in the thermal image as well as retrieved if necessary and integrated into a report.

Whoever develops new products pays attention to every detail from the start. During the recording of even the smallest structures, you effectively avoid measurement errors due to geometry. The acquired data with a measurement accuracy of one percent meet the highest demands. You safely transfer the thermal images in your measuring environment via the GigE interface in the image format of up to (2,048 × 1,536) IR pixels at a frequency of up to 240 Hz. In addition, you adapt the VarioCAM® HD perfectly to your measuring task. The wide range of lenses ensures a high degree of flexibility when you are handling different sized measuring objects and variable operating distances.

Complex electronic components are becoming increasingly powerful and smaller. For this reason, precision plays a crucial role during their development. The VarioCAM® HD allows you to analyse extremely small structures of up to 17 μm, which appear consistently sharp thanks to the EverSharp function, and to determine their temperatures exactly. The detector resolution of (1,024 × 768) IR pixels opens up adequate room for you to record your component reliably with sufficient, geometrical resolution. Thus, you obtain results with a high level of measurement accuracy.

The continuous measurement in production processes places the highest demands on your devices. The compact light metal housing with IP67 of the VarioCAM® HD protects your camera even in harsh industrial environments. High-quality, protection class preserving LEMO® connectors ensure the transfer of the camera data. The GigE interface ensures fast and secure transfer up to 240 Hz in your system environment. The direct connection of the process interfaces to the special software IRBIS® 3 process allows your data to be integrated into the process environment.

The combination of repeatable triggering and high thermal resolution predestines the VarioCAM® HD particularly for nondestructive testing. Firstly, you create thermal images via external signals, transmit temperature-dependent signals simultaneously and thus synchronously control your test process. Secondly, the thermal resolution of up to 0.02 K ensures noiseless reproduction of the smallest temperature differences. The IRBIS® 3 active thermography software, which is adapted perfectly to the thermal image camera, supports the evaluation and display of the corresponding results with its complex evaluation algorithms.

Do you want to inspect overhead electrical power lines, pipelines or industrial plants from the air? Or check large areas for energetic and material environmental pollution? Then the high-resolution VarioCAM® HD head is your choice. Integrated in gyro-stabilised platforms, so-called gimbals, the camera reliably records large-scale areas. You can determine and synchronously save the GPS coordinates from the camera location for each thermal image. In this way, you efficiently plan and effectively check from the air. The large range of interchangeable lenses also helps you to solve your measuring task.

With the VarioCAM® HD you can carry out inspections quickly and easily. In the large 5.6" colour TFT display, your recordings are reproduced natively in the resolution of the detector. This means that you can analyse thermal images easily on the spot – even in daylight. With the integrated visual 8-megapixel camera you receive valuable additional information for orientation in the measuring environment and create videos. Thanks to the GPS function, you can later uniquely assign your recordings locally and purposefully request necessary repairs, for example. The recording of situational comments supports you during the effective creation of the inspection reports.
