Fixed focus thermal imagers are mainly manufactured by Titan. However, the NSA recently also presented its own model. DifferThese devices are primarily high thermal sensitivity. Their emissivity is on average 1.2. The spatial resolution of the "ANB" model is at the level of 4 mrad. Thermal imagers with visualization displays are being manufactured.
Such devices are not suitable for isometric analysis. However, they are capable of doing automatic searches. This process takes place according to pre-set parameters. There is no temperature correction mode in the devices. If we consider the model of the company "Titan", then it has an extensive memory slot. Thus, these devices are well suited for storing documents. You can do target designation with a thermal imager. To this end, Titan has developed a 2 kV red laser pointer.
High-precision NSA models
High-precision thermal imagers of the Russian production "ANB" are distinguished by a small measurement error. However, they also have disadvantages, and they should be taken into account. First of all, experts note the low temperature range of devices. As a result, the thermal sensitivity index suffers. Their emissivity is in the region of 1.3. Lenses for such models are most suitable permanent. Their viewing angles can vary quite a bit.
The average spatial resolution parameter is 4 mrad. The zoom function in such devices is available, however, the thermal imager is not suitable for isometric analysis. Automatic search can be enabled byminimum and maximum temperatures. At the same time, not all modifications have target designators. These thermal imagers cost on average (market price) around 240 thousand rubles.
Characteristics of thermal imagers with variable focus
Thermal imagers of this type are very compact and can be used in various industries. The detectors in this case are used with a focal plane array. The spectral range of such devices is 6-13 microns. Temperature sensitivity is around 25 degrees. Due to this, the frame rate is quite high. If we consider the models of the AMB company, then they have high-quality viewfinders. At the same time, the device is powered exclusively by the batteries that are included.
The manufacturer provides a protection system for the IP67 series. On a full charge, such a thermal imager can work for about 120 hours. The model can be used at a temperature not higher than 50 degrees. Air humidity these devices can withstand no more than 40%. Extenders in thermal imagers "ANB" are installed in a variety of ways. Signal processing can therefore take a long time. An NSA model of this type costs an average of 310,000 rubles.
