THERMAL IMAGING FOR MACHINE VISION AND INDUSTRIAL SAFETY APPLICATIONS The World's Sixth Sense

FLIR: THE WORLD LEADER IN THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS FLIR is the world leader in the design and manufacturing of thermal imaging systems for a wide variety of commercial, industrial and government applications. FLIR thermal imaging systems use state-of-the-art infrared imaging technology that detects infrared radiation - or heat. Based on detected temperature differences, thermal imaging cameras produce a visible image of a target’s thermal profile. Advanced algorithms also make it possible to read correct temperature values from this image. We design and manufacture all of the critical...

MACHINE VISION (MONITOR PRODUCTION PROCESSES CONTINUOUSLY) Many industries can take advantage of implementing thermal imaging cameras that continuously monitor production. In some cases the data acquired by a thermal imaging camera can be used to improve the production process. Thermal imaging cameras for automated inspections For many applications, such as the production of parts and components for the automotive or electronics industry, thermal data are critical. While machine vision can see a production problem, it cannot detect thermal irregularities. Thermal imagery provides much more...

Thermal imaging cameras for process control Assuring quality control, deciding if a product is 100% to specifications, whether it is “good or bad” is just one step. Thermal imaging cameras can help to do this and more. Often thermal imaging cameras provide valuable data about the production process. Production engineers can use these data to improve the entire production process. Automotive industry Cars need to be light and strong. To achieve both of these goals, modern car panels are made of a combination of a metal layer on top and a structural adhesive layer underneath. These layers are...

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Safety is important in any industry. Accidents and fire need to be avoided and production needs to be running at all times. Thermal imaging cameras can help to ensure safety and avoid unplanned outages. Condition monitoring Condition monitoring is all about identifying problems before failure occurs in order to prevent costly production stops. Typical equipment that is monitored includes high- and low-voltage installations, turbines, compressors and other electrical and mechanical equipment. Sometimes processes need to be monitored because an anomaly can cause dangerous...

Fire prevention/detection Fire can destruct entire premises and storage areas within an extremely short timeframe. The value of the destroyed goods during a fire can be tremendous, and the cost of a life that is lost during a fire is impossible to calculate. Statistics show high increase in asset loss due to fire. Thermal imaging can help prevent fires or detect them in an early stage. Warehouse fire prevention FLIR thermal imaging cameras provide an early warning response to hot spots that are detected. This is important for all types of warehouses. By detecting hot spots in an early...

CONTINUOUS OPTICAL GAS IMAGING (OGI) Thermal imaging cameras can visualize and pinpoint gas leaks. With an optical gas imaging camera it is easy to continuously scan installations that are in remote areas or in zones that are difficult to access. Continuous monitoring means that you will immediately be informed when a dangerous or costly gas leak appears so that immediate action can be taken. Offshore and petrochemical industry Many chemical compounds and gases are invisible to the naked eye, yet many companies work intensively with these substances before, during and after their production...
