Stemmer Imaging now supplies Xenics' new high-resolution Serval LWIR uncooled thermal imaging GigE camera, designed for industrial in-line process and quality control in harsh and hot industrial environments. It features an IP67 design so that no large additional third-party enclosure is needed.
Operating over a wavelength range of 8 to 14µm, the new Serval camera produces high resolution images at 640 x 480 pixels and 50Hz high frame rate. The Gigabit Ethernet interface is fully compatible with the GigE Vision standard for high data transfer rates over distances up to 100 metres. With 75mK NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference), high sensitivity for small signals is guaranteed.
The compact Serval camera measures 55 x 55 x 130cm (depending on lens) and is characterised by its rugged design. The IP67 design includes a front window protection to allow operation for case temperatures between 0¢ªC and 60¢ªC. The front window protection is provided complete with air purge to avoid the need for expensive cleaning or replacement of the lens. This means maximum operation time even in dust-loaded atmospheres.
The design eliminates the need for a large third party enclosure and an extensive thermal calibration. In addition, the camera is available in a range of configurations with a specific athermalised fixed lens and optional IP67 cabling, sun shroud and I/O interface board.
Also now available from Stemmer Imaging is a firmware 4.2 update for the entire range of LMI Gocator displacement, profile, and snapshot 3D smart sensors.
