Constant Focus Thermal Imagers
Constant focus thermal imagers are mainly manufactured by the Titan company. However, the NSA recently also presented its model. These devices differ primarily in high thermal sensitivity. Their emissivity coefficient is on average 1.2. The spatial resolution of the NSA model is at 4 mrad. Thermal imagers are made with displays for visualization.
Such devices are not suitable for isometric analysis. However, they are able to do automatic search. This process takes place according to previously entered parameters. There is no temperature correction mode in the devices. If we consider the model of the company "Titan", then it has an extensive memory slot. Thus, these devices are well suited for storing documents. Targeting with a thermal imager can be done. To this end, the company "Titan" has developed a red laser pointer at 2 kV.
High Precision NSA Models
High-precision thermal imagers of the Russian production "ANB" are distinguished by a small measurement error. However, they also have shortcomings and should be taken into account. First of all, experts note a low temperature range of devices. In this regard, the indicator of thermal sensitivity suffers. Their emissivity coefficient is in the region of 1.3. Lenses for such models are most suitable for permanent. Viewing angles can vary quite a lot.
The average spatial resolution parameter is 4 mrad. The scaling function in such devices is available, however, the imager is not suitable for isometric analysis. Automatic search can be turned on by the minimum and maximum temperature. At the same time, far from all modifications possess target indicators. On average, these thermal imagers (market price) are in the region of 240 thousand rubles.
Features of Variable Focus Thermal Imagers
Thermal imagers of this type are very compact and can be used in various industries. Detectors in this case are used with a focal plane matrix. The spectral range of such devices is 6-13 microns. Temperature sensitivity is in the region of 25 degrees. Thanks to this, the frame refresh rate is quite high. If we consider the models of the company "AMB", then they have high-quality viewfinders. At the same time, the device is powered exclusively by the batteries that come with the kit.
The manufacturer's protection system is provided for by the IP67 series. At full charge, such a thermal imager can work for about 120 hours. The model can be used at a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. The humidity of these devices withstand no more than 40%. Extenders in the ANB thermal imagers are installed the most diverse. Signal processing in this regard can be time consuming. The average cost of the NSA model of this type is around 310 thousand rubles.
