Quench Pit Monitoring Application Using Thermal Imaging Overview Quench Pit Monitoring System Heat treating is used in metal manufacturing to alter the chemical and physical properties of the resulting metal parts. Careful application of a specific sequence of heating and cooling cycles for pre-determined time intervals enables metallurgists to control the hardness [...]
Machine Condition Monitoring Using Infrared Cameras At the pace of modern business today, no one can afford unplanned downtime and costly outages. Cloud-based machine condition monitoring is helping facilities avert problems before they happen. By connecting various sensing technologies with the internet of things (IoT) and moving condition monitoring software to the cloud, maintenance [...]
What is Early Fire Detection and Why is it Important? Enhancing Fire Safety through Early Detection Systems Fire incidents can have devastating consequences, causing loss of property, life, and damage to the environment. Early fire detection is crucial for preventing catastrophic outcomes, and industries are taking notice. Thermal imaging is emerging as a reliable [...]
NETD in a Thermal Camera NETD explained You may come across the expression or specification of “NETD” when you look at the technical details of a thermal camera. The expression stands for “Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference”. It is a measure for how well a thermal imaging detector is able to distinguish between very small differences [...]

Lock-In Thermography NDT Technique The principle of lock-in thermography is based on the application of a periodic input energy wave (i.e. thermal emitter, ultrasound, microwave, eddy current, flash or xenon lamp, halogen lamp, or laser) to the surface of the object being examined and analyzing the resulting local temperatures on the surface of the [...]
Solar Cell Inspection Using Infrared NDT MoviTHERM’s Solar-CHECK solution uses lockin thermography to inspect for electrical shunts and other defects in thin-film as well as in thick-film photo-voltaic cells. The cells can either be excited electrically or optically. More info about MoviTHERM Solar-Check Download Our Starter Guide For Infrared [...]
How to Perform a Thermal Camera Calibration Thermal Camera Calibration We often get asked if the calibration of an infrared or thermal camera can be performed in the field, by the customer. While this question appears straight-forward, further clarification is necessary in order to avoid confusion. Some infrared cameras are inherently not temperature calibrated by the [...]
