Ircon ScanIR3 Series infrared line scanner and thermal imaging system

The Ircon ScanIR3 Series infrared line scanners and thermal imaging system includes a choice of eight models that provide accurate, real-time thermal imaging in a wide variety of industrial applications, including continuous sheet and web-based processes, as well as discrete manufacturing.

Combined with Ircon ScanView Pro software, the ScanIR3 scanner is designed for reliability and continuous operation in harsh industrial environments. Its robust housing incorporates standard water cooling and air purge, and features built-in laser sighting. A processor box provides universal I/O capabilities in the field without the need for an external computer.

Unlike point sensors that measure a single point, the line scanner measures multiple temperature points across a scan line. Its motorised mirror scans at rates up to 150 lines per second, allowing rapid detection of temperature non-uniformities and hot spots. Rotating optics collect infrared radiation at 1024 points within a 90° field of view, and industry-leading optical resolution (up to 200:1) enables detection of smaller temperature anomalies.

The ScanView Pro software allows custom configuration of ScanIR3 operating parameters, and display of thermal images and temperature profiles on a standard PC. The software includes features to subdivide thermal images from the ScanIR3 line scanner into portions of specific interest.

The ScanIR3 line scanner is offered with an optional high-temperature enclosure system designed to protect the scanner from exposure to ambient temperatures up to 1090°C. The line scanner can then operate in high-temperature processes, such as in manufacturing steel and other metals, as well as glass and other minerals.
