With more than 30 models, InfraTec offers a variety of infrared camera models for all application areas of thermal imaging. InfraTec also expands its expertise in the field of thermography by participating in various research projects. Our partners are both national and international scientific institutions and companies from a wide range of industries.
Applications
Additive Manufacturing
By in-line monitoring of thermal process parameters, infrared cameras from InfraTec support the optimisation of additive manufacturing processes.
In additive manufacturing, temperature is one of the factors on which the quality of the final product depends. Thermal imaging cameras record temperature developments and deviations in real time and enable rapid intervention in the ongoing process.
Material Testing
Save time and costs by non-destructively testing components with infrared camera systems by InfraTec.
Stress changes during tensile testing provide information about material properties of metals such as tensile strength. With the help of thermographic cameras metallic solid bodies can be tested for such stress changes.
Active Thermography
Make use of active thermography for non-destructive and contact-free material testing, for both automated inline and offline solutions.
Various methods of active thermography like Lock-In Thermography and Pulse Phase Thermography are imaging procedures that perfectly suit for contact-free and non-destructive material testing. In connection with high-resolution infrared cameras, they allow for quick detection of material defects and open up new possibilities in research, development and quality assurance.
Bonding and Sealing
Users can utilise infrared cameras during bonding and sealing to monitor and control various technological parameters.
Miscellaneous welding tasks in steel constructions currently have a low degree of automation, resulting in a high amount of manual work and employee-dependent quality levels. Read this Case Study from InfraTec looking at the inline process for quality assurance of weld seams.
Inspection of Mechanical Assemblies
Thermography reveals irregularities in heating of mechanical components in time.
Lasers are extremely versatile tools in industry and manufacturing technology. Due to their flexibility, they serve as a key technology for implementing the goals of industry 4.0. Although laser cutting and welding are nowadays regarded as turnkey technologies, the majority of laser applications, for example joining of hybrid materials, 3D printing or ultra-short pulse processing, still require considerable research and development.
Events on Demand
InfraTec offers a diverse selection of free online events every year. In their topic-specific, compact presentations, various speakers from the respective specialist areas present the possibilities and special features of different applications.
Some online events are presented here for you to choose from. To watch an event on demand, InfraTec only needs some data from you. You will receive the link to the webinar by e-mail.
