Teledyne
The Teledyne FLIR Ax5 Series are an extremely affordable thermal imaging option. It is an ideal fit for an automation or machine vision environment. All models are extremely compact, perfect for mounting in locations of limited space.
Teledyne FLIR A35 / A65 Features
Extremely Affordable and Compact
Teledyne FLIR’s Ax5 Series models are low-cost thermal imaging temperature sensors that are ideal tools for monitoring temperatures in automation or machine vision.
High Thermal Sensitivity and Image Quality
The Teledyne FLIR Ax5 Series produces high quality thermal images that can show temperature differences as small as 50 mK. Record crisp 640 x 512 pixel thermal images with the Teledyne FLIR A65, or for less precise applications, the A35 generates a 320 x 256 pixel thermal image that still allows you to easily track temperature changes.
GigE Vision™ Standard Compatibility
GigE Vision is a camera interface standard developed using the Gigabit Ethernet communication interface. GigE Vision is the first standard to allow for fast image transfer using low-cost standard cables, even over long distances.
GenICam™ Protocol Support
The goal of GenICam is to provide a generic programming interface for all types of cameras. This protocol also makes it possible to use third party software with the camera.
14-bit Temperature Linear Output
Allows for non-contact temperature measurement within any third party software. A built-in Gigabit Ethernet connection allows real time 14-bit image streaming to a computer.
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.
