Active Thermography For Research, Development and Quality Assurance Non-destructive and contact-free testing Modular system for various inspection tasks Ensuring effective use for reliable offline and inline solutions Detection of smallest and deepest defects Extensive imaging investigations

Active Thermography - Flexible Solutions Active thermography is an imaging procedure for non-destructive testing. A heat flow is induced by an energetic excitation of the test object, which can be done in a transmissive or a reflective setup. The resulting heat flow is influenced by interior material layers and defects. These inhomogeneities can be captured on the object surface by high-precision thermographic cameras. The additional application of different evaluation algorithms improves the signal-to-noise-ratio, which allows for detection of smallest defects. Test object Internal...

Modular System Design for Precisely Fitting Inspections The versatile application options of active thermography require an elaborate configuration of every single inspection system. InfraTec offers a wide variety of necessary components along with a modular system architecture. The high-resolution cameras, efficient control and evaluation software as well as the continuously operable excitation sources and controllers are interchangeable within the system and therefore allow a flexible adaptation to upcoming requirements. Customised Thermography Solution High-end Thermographic Camera...
