Land Instruments Arc thermal imaging cameras

A series of thermal imaging cameras rugged enough for heavy industrial applications and compact enough for use in R&D and automation has been introduced by Land Instruments International. The Arc cameras have high-resolution radiometric imagers and field of view options that are claimed to be able to view targets at any distance with high clarity. They operate over a wide temperature range of -20° to 1000°C.

Because temperature processing is performed by onboard software, the cameras do not need to be connected to a PC. Connection to a range of I/O modules by standard industrial ethernet allows simple stand-alone operation. The high-resolution thermal imager uses advanced focal plane array detector technology to produce high-accuracy temperature measurements.

Available options include two temperature ranges, four lenses, two frame rates and three software variants. Standard Arc Viewer software enables visualisation of thermal data; Viewer+ offers configuration of smart camera features; and LIPS allows complete analysis, recording and playback of thermal data. A choice of enclosures allows dependable operation in harsh environments.
