Our Stinger thermal imaging camera is designed
to deliver the highest quality real-time video temperature
representation of your process. By combining the latest
in digital camera technology with uncooled Focal Plane
Array sensor technology and heavy-duty enclosures, the
IRCON Stinger performs exceptionally – and survives
long-term – in any industrial process control
application. The Stinger thermal imaging camera is highly
intuitive and can be easily integrated into your process
control system. Mount the IRCON Stinger anywhere you need
it to capture on-line process temperature measurements.
The Stinger thermal imaging system is packaged for industrial
applications and includes: the Stinger infrared camera with focusing
lens and auto-switching power supply, a Microsoft®
Windows® 2000 based computer and digital frame grabber,
application software, connection cables and
operators manual.
The Stinger Thermal Imaging Software
Whether you're running the video output directly
from the thermal imager to a control room for continuous
monitoring, or sending data through the digital interface
to either the Stinger Image Analysis Thermal Imaging Software
or one of our digital interface toolkits (to allow you to interface
with programs such as National Instruments Labview), the system
will allow for flexibility for your application. IRCON produces
various application specific thermal imaging software for certain
industries.
Fully user-configurable, the Stinger thermal imaging software lets
you set up, display, and archive thermal images. And
because the software was written for the familiar Windows®
platform, you’ll have all your favorite tools
at your fingertips, including those for drawing, zooming,
printing and changing color palettes.
Simply begin your image capture, position the cursor
to your area of interest, and customize your view on
the fly. Optimize your display using 5 standard color
palettes (including grayscale). Or draw circles, rectangles,
or free-form shapes around target zones to monitor hot
or cold spots in your process – and then “show
all” or highlight only select zones for analysis
in real-time. These areas of interest (AOI’s)
can be keyed to alarms and can ultimately be used as
outputs for process control purposes. The Stinger also
supports continuous archiving of data from ROI’s
for displaying offline or for exporting to a spreadsheet
program such as Microsoft® Excel. Average, maximum
and minimum temperatures can be continuously archived
into the trend file.
Saving and retrieving your thermal image data is easy
too. Each saved file contains both setup data for the
sensor/processor and image data so that when you load
a file, PC settings are loaded too. This makes reconfiguration
of previously saved setup information (regions of interest,
calibration information, palette selection, and temperature
range) automatic. This function is ideal for applications
where two or more different processes are running on
the same line since it eliminates downtime.
Cool – even where it’s hot.
