FLIR Compact A-Series: Smaller Profile with No Loss of Performance

The FLIR compact A-Series thermal camera is compact enough to fit in the tightest spaces on your production line and affordable enough to integrate and synchronize en masse for greater coverage or stereoscopic applications. Designed specifically for machine vision, FLIR Compact A-Series provides the versatility and plug-and-play compatibility of GigE Vision and GenICam protocols.

 

FLIR Compact A-Series Thermal Camera Features

  • Extremely affordable - The FLIR compact A-Series is an extremely affordable unit. From now on price is no longer an issue for deploying thermal imaging cameras to monitor continuous processes.
  • Compact - Extremely compact, measuring only 40 mm x 43 mm x 106 mm the FLIR compact A-Series can easily be integrated in every production line.
  • GigE VisionTM standard compatibility - GigE Vision is a new camera interface standard developed using the Gigabit Ethernet communication protocol. GigE Vision is the first standard to allow for fast image transfer using low cost standard cables even over long distances. With GigE Vision, hardware and software from different vendors can interoperate seamlessly over GigE connections.
  • GenICamTM protocol support - The goal of GenICam is to provide a generic programming interface for all types of cameras. Regardless of interface technology (GigE Vision, Camera Link, 1394 DCAM, etc.) or features implemented, the Application Programming Interface (API) will always be the same. The GenICam protocol also makes it possible to use third party software with the camera. GenICam makes the FLIR compact A-Series plug-and-play when used with software packages such as IMAQ Vision and Halcon.
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) - Communication and power supplied with only one cable.
  • Synchronization - Possible to configure one camera to be master and others to be slave(s) for applications that call for more than one camera to cover the object or for stereoscopic applications.
  • General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) - One output that can be used to control other equipment and one input to read the status from the same equipment.
  • High sensitivity < 50 mK - < 50 mK thermal sensitivity captures the finest image details and temperature difference information.
