Precision SWIR Thermography for High-Temperature Applications

The InfraTec ImageIR 8100 is a powerful short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera designed to deliver high-resolution thermographic performance across demanding industrial and research environments. 

With its InGaAs detector operating in snapshot mode at 640 × 512 pixels and a spectral range of 0.9 – 1.7 µm, the ImageIR 8100 captures detailed thermal data where conventional MWIR and LWIR systems may struggle, such as materials like metals with challenging emissivity. 

Its compact, lightweight design makes it ideally suited for both standalone use and integration into automated inspection systems.

 

Key Features:

  • 640 × 512 pixel InGaAs detector for precise temperature measurement
  • Temperature range from 300 °C up to 1,700 °C
  • Fast frame rates up to 237 Hz full frame and up to 2,958 Hz in sub-frame mode
  • 5 um pixel pitch
