Name: High-Performance FAST Cameras
Brand: Exosens

Description

The Telops FAST camera series feature the fastest infrared cameras on the market. Available from the shortwave to the very long wave infrared bands, these cameras can address a broad range of measurement needs and applications.

With their high sensitivity, their impressive temporal resolution and their proprietary automated exposure control (AEC), the FAST cameras are perfect for analyzing dynamic events, as in ballistics, combustion or experimental mechanics experiments.

The FAST cameras are also available in HD or Super HD formats in the midwave bands to provide high image quality.

Key Benefits

High-Speed Imaging

The FAST series include the fastest thermal cameras available on the market, up to 3 100 fps in full frame mode and 120 000 fps in subwindow.

Permanent Calibration

The FAST cameras provide radiometrically calibrated measurements for all operating conditions from power-on.

Automatic exposure control

The camera self-adjusts exposure time depending on the scen, for best imaging.

Automatic exposure control

The camera self-adjusts exposure time depending on the scen, for best imaging.

Water and dust proof

Certified IP67 sealed enclosure, ideal for fied measurements.

Examples of applications

Railway Inspection

Joowon Industrial in Korea uses multiple FAST cameras to observe hot spots on rails in order to prevent accidents.

Tensile Testing

In this classic experimental mechanics test, a metallic sample is pulled from both ends to study its strength, elasticity and breaking point.

Combustion analysis

Here you can see the injection process in a Diesel-fuel engine supplied with a premixed
methane-air charge. The piston's crown is replaced by a sapphire window in order to carry out imaging of the combustion bowl. Images courtesy of Istituto Motori (CNR), Italy.

Cell Phone Button

This crisp image of an iPhone's print ID button was taken with a FAST HD camera equipped with a G1x lens.

Oil furnace inspection

Here a FAST camera was used to inspect defects in an oil furnace. Images courtesy of Torngats.

Ballistics impact

Here you can see the effects of a projectile hitting a composite material.

Hopkinson-Bar

In this other classic experimental mechanics test, a sample is compressed using a Split-Hopkinson Bar to study its resistance and behavior when subjected to a shock. In collaboration with the Structural Impact Laboratory (SIMLab) of the NTNU.

Heat transfer

In this video, a high-speed heat transfer measurement experiment is carried out between a falling droplet and a metallic surface stabilized at 0 °C. A FAST M3k was used with a G1x
microscope lens.
