A series of thermal imaging cameras
rugged enough for heavy industrial
applications and compact enough for
use in R&D and automation has
been introduced by Land
Instruments International, a unit of
AMETEK.

The new Arc cameras have high
resolution radiometric imagers and
field of view options that can view
targets at any distance with high
clarity. They operate over a
temperature range of -20° to 1000°C.

Temperature processing is
performed by onboard software, so
the cameras do not need to be
connected to a PC. Connection to a
range of I/O modules by standard
industrial Ethernet allows simple
stand-alone operation. The highresolution
thermal imager uses
advanced focal plane array detector
technology to produce high accuracy
temperature measurements.

Available options include two
temperature ranges, four lenses, two
frame rates and three software
variants. Standard Arc Viewer software
enables visualisation of thermal data;
Viewer+ offers configuration of
Smart Camera features; and LIPS
allows complete analysis, recording
and playback of thermal data. There
is also a choice of
enclosures.
