FLIR ThermoVision® A20M RESEARCHER

The ThermoVision® A20M provides an affordable and accurate solution for research and development, design validation or virtually any product or process monitoring application where fast, reliable and economical thermal evaluation is important.

Featuring an ultra-compact, rugged IR imaging camera complete with multiple connectivity interfaces and packaged with Researcher software this fully integrated A20M system provides aa immediate, percise visual understanding of thermal performance.

QUICKLY FIND FAULTS Infrared images can quickly highlight problems with a product or a process that simply cannot be detected by any other sensor technology. Subtle temperature, moisture or material variations that can signal a process problem stand out clearly in a thermal image. Finding these problems early and determining their severity can improve product quality and save thousands of dollars in scrap or warranty expenses.
OUTSTANDING IMAGING AND HIGH THERMAL SENSITIVITY Advanced, uncooled microbolometer FPA detector technology delivers crisp, highresolution longwave images that allow you to distinguish thermal variances as small as 0.12°C. Real-time scanning at standard video rates (60Hz) allows you to see rapid, thermally transient events.
INSTANT NON-CONTACT TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT The A20M was designed from the beginning - at the detector lever - to deliver accurate repeatable temperature measurement. Each thermal image includes 19,000 picture elements that can be accessed independently to measure temperature. These calibrated measurements can than be used as criterion to monitor or control a production process.
PLUG AND PLAY Simply connect the camera to a standard TV and produce high quality, real-time thermal images that accurately show heat patterns and thermal anomalies. Or each A20V can be equipped with its own unique URL allowing it to be addressed independently via its Ethernet connection. This provides instant access to A20V thermal images by any authorized user with a web browser. Extremely easy-to-operate, the user-intuitive A20V helps you clearly understand the thermal characteristics of products and processes so you can make the decisions necessary to improve both.
ULTRA-COMPACT, RUGGED AND LIGHTWEIGHT Built to operate for long periods in harsh industrial environments, the A20V has an IP40 rating. Its compact, lightweight (< 1.7 lbs.) design allows it to be mounted on your production line in hard-to-get-at locations that may be optimal for data collection. Fully configured I/O functionality allows the A20V to be integrated quickly and easily with your control systems.
EXTENSIVE CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS Extensive input/output functionality for both stand-alone and integrated configurations. Ideal for product testing and process monitoring, the A20V features Ethernet (RJ-45) for fast image and data transfer via TCP/IP to a PC. Ethernet connectivity will allow for network and/or multiple camera installations.
POWERFUL SOFTWARE FOR IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS AND DIGITAL RECORDING Coupled with ThermalCAM Reasearcher software, the most flexible , powerful digital storage, measurement and analysis package available, the A20M allows detailed realtime digital analysis of over 19,000 individual temperature measurement points. Researched collects data directly from the A20M at a rate of 60 frames per second through a robust Firewire IEEE I394 connection ideal for analysis of dynamic objects and high speed thermal events. Researcher displays real-time graphics and thermal statistics , satisfying virtually all data collection, post analysis and research needs.
MULTIPLE PROGRAMMING OPTIONS The A20V output can be easily leveraged to control a process when coupled with LabVIEW and FLIR’s LabVIEW Developers toolkit; this kit allows programmers to easily access functions that can then be used to turn the A20V into a powerful machine vision tool with a minimal investment in machine vision software development. Or, work in your own programming environment with the ThermoVision System Developers Kit (SDK) based on Active X and Visual Basic C++. The SDK provides full access to camera functions and includes source code examples that will dramatically reduce the time it takes to program a custom solution.
