In 2021, InfraTec GmbH Infrarotsensorik und Messtechnik is proud to look back on a 30-year success story: founded in 1991 as a spin-off by graduates from the Technical University of Dresden, it is now a fully integrated, globally active specialist in the field of infrared technology with more than 230 employees and annual sales of EUR 40 million, including development, production, sales and service.
“You, as one of our loyal partners and customers, have always been the key to this success and we would like to thank you for that! With your challenging tasks, you have always driven us to use innovation to respond, which we have done so gladly and with passion. We are very pleased to be able to continue assisting you as a reliable supporter in the future and are looking forward to the coming joint projects.”
A message from InfraTec to their partners and customers.
Happy Customers
Quantum Design UK and Ireland has been working with InfraTec as a distributer for the UK and Ireland for around 5 years now. With many happy customers. Here’s a few words from one:
“I am using the Infratec camera with an infrared laser, where the frequencies of that laser are spatially dispersed and imaged on the camera. The light intensity of the infrared frequencies are monitored as a function of time, with microsecond time resolution, which gives information about the formation or destruction of chemicals during a reaction. The high sensitivity and image quality are outstanding, and there is very little noise from the camera contributing to the overall signal I observe. It is easy to interface with the camera using the supplied software, and the ability to externally trigger and gate the camera is an excellent advantage. I found that the sales and technical teams have been very supportive and responsive to questions or queries before, during, and after the camera installation.”

InfraTec’s 30th anniversary is a perfect opportunity for a review into the world of thermography because the areas of application of InfraTec thermographic systems and solutions are as diverse as their partners and customers. In the following you will get an insight into some projects from the past years.
MIlestones from InfraTec Over the Years
 |  |  |
| Thermographic Monitoring of a Fusion Device | | Digital Image Correlation and Thermographic Measurement |
| What will the energy supply of the future look like? The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Greifswald is working on this question. | | This measurement method enables the simultaneous analysis of the thermal and mechanical behaviour of test specimens in the field of material and component testing. |
 | |  |
| Thermography in Electronics Testing | | Thermography for Optimised Wind Turbines |
| Delphi, one of the largest global automotive suppliers, uses thermography as a quality assurance measure in design and product validation, making an important contribution to road safety. | | The efficiency of a wind turbine is influenced by the rotor blades. Numerous factors, such as soiling or erosion, can impair the energy yield. Thermography can even be used for detecting this while the turbine is in operation. |
 | |  |
| Thermography in Quality Management | | Early Fire Detection in the Waste Incineration Power Plant |
| SIEMENS AG uses the latest non-destructive testing technology – thermography – inspect heavily stressed turbine blades in gas turbine power plants. | | Where skiers meander downhill in winter and summer alike, thousands of tonnes of waste are incinerated in the middle of a large city. This requires a reliable fire protection concept! |
Customer Case Studies
Customers of InfraTec choose infrared thermography as a measurement method for the development of new products, temperature triggered process automation and quality assurance. Today, well-known companies from all industries rely on our thermographic know-how in development and production. Universities, universities of applied sciences and institutes apply thermal imaging equipment supplied by InfraTec in teaching and research.
Applications
The above-mentioned and numerous other applications from the most diverse areas of industry and research enable InfraTec to make the requirements of real practice the standard for the use and further development of thermographic products. Furthermore, their application engineers have many years of experience and expertise and can offer you the optimal solution for your testing and measurement task.
