Flir Systems has introduced a 100mm USL lens for its X6500sc thermal imaging cameras. This motorised F/2 lens provides a 5.5° horizontal field of view making it ideal for measuring the temperature of distant targets.
Applications that will benefit from the additional lens include safe, remote temperature measurements of tyres, brake disks, airbag deployment or other fast moving objects observed from a distance.
Ultrasonic Smart Lens technology (USL) is a Flir technology embedded in every motorised lens available for the X6500sc cameras. USL technology enhances the speed at which the lenses operate, as well as improving positioning accuracy. This enables fast and precise autofocusing. Also, because Flir USL lenses use ultrasonic motors, the user can still adjust the focus manually.
Flir X6500sc thermal imaging cameras provide high-definition images of 640 x 512 pixels and can detect temperature differences smaller than 25mK (18mK typically). Using the company’s lock-in facility it is possible to process temperature differences as small as 1mK and make them clearly visible. The camera can measure temperatures up to 3,000°C with an accuracy of ±1°C or ±1 per cent.
