When decision-makers seek to integrate new hardware into their automation process, they are often looking at a few key areas: the ease of use, price point, features, and the ability to utilize the hardware at multiple points throughout their system.
A50 and A70 thermal cameras
The new A50 and A70 thermal cameras come in three options: Smart, Streaming, and Research & Development to fit the needs of professionals across a variety of industries from manufacturing to utilities to science.
The new cameras offer improved accuracy of ±2°C or ±2% temperature measurement, compared to the previous accuracy of ±5°C, or ±5% temperature measurement. The cameras all include an IP66 rating, along with a small, compact size with higher resolution options compared to previous versions.
Thermal resolution
With improved temperature measurement accuracy of ±2°C, professionals can rely on consistent readings
Featuring a thermal resolution of 464 × 348 (A50) or 640 × 480 (A70), professionals can deploy the A50 or A70 cameras in a variety of capacities.
These include condition monitoring programs to maximize uptime and minimize cost through planned maintenance, or when used in early fire detection applications to safeguard the lives of workers and secure the profitability of the business by protecting materials and assets.
With improved temperature measurement accuracy of ±2°C, professionals can rely on consistent readings over some time, or through varying environmental factors, eliminating any guesswork from data analysis.
IP66 rating
The IP66 rating for both the A50 and A70 protects from dust, oil, and water, making the cameras ideal for tough, industrial environments. This ruggedness is especially helpful when the camera is being moved from one application to the next.
Whether the camera is fix-mounted inspecting a production line or when required for bench testing, professionals benefit from its versatility.
A50/70 Smart
Designed for condition monitoring programs to reduce inspection times, improve production efficiency, and increase product reliability, the A50 and A70 Smart cameras introduce “on camera / on edge” smart functionality. This means temperature measurement and analysis can be done on the camera, easily and effectively without the need for a PC.
These cameras allow automation system solution providers to hit the ground running with a camera that is easy to add, configure, and operate in HMI/SCADA systems (with REST API, MQTT, and Modbus master functionality).
A50/70 Image Streaming
The addition of A50 or A70 Image Streaming cameras complements machine vision systems that look at defects
Built for process and quality control, the A50/A70 Image Streaming cameras improve throughput time and the quality of what is being produced, all while reducing operating costs. With its GigE Vision and GenICam compatibility, professionals can simply plug the camera into their PC and choose their preferred software.
In most cases, the addition of A50 or A70 Image Streaming cameras complements machine vision systems that look at defects such as size, with the A50 or A70 providing temperature variance in these products.
A50/70 Research & Development Kit
Primarily used as a research and development solution, the A50 and A70 Research & Development Kit provides an easy entry point into thermal imaging analysis for applications within academia, material studies, and electronic and semiconductor research. The Research & Development Kit includes the Advanced Image Streaming versions of the A50 and A70 cameras and FLIR Research Studio software for camera control, live image display, recording, and post‐processing for decision support.
The A50 and A70 thermal cameras, with Smart, Streaming, or Research and Development options, offer professionals, in a variety of industries a turnkey solution, to efficiently and effectively inspect and analyze data, ultimately saving time and money.
