About the Active Thermography System

MoviTHERM’s FLIR A8580 MWIR Camera non‐destructive testing systems use active thermography for the reliable detection of delaminations, impact damages, “near side” defects, water inclusions, debondings, and other defects. The system achieves precise measurements and is ideal for inspecting composites, metals, semiconductors, microelectronics, batteries, ceramics, and more.

Our irNDT system accommodates a wide range of irNDT measurement methods, including: Flash‐Thermography, Lock‐In Thermography, Transient Thermography, and Vibro‐Thermography. It also works with multiple excitation sources and with cooled or uncooled infrared camera systems.

Features:

• Non‐contact irNDT
• Works with cooled and uncooled IR Cameras
• Compatible with multiple irNDT methods
• Effective even on low emissivity targets
• Modular hardware and software
• Configurable for different geometries and materials

What is Active Thermography?

Active thermography is an effective method for non-destructive testing of materials involving the induction of heat flow in a test object by external excitation. The heat flow within the test object is influenced by internal conditions and measured on the surface by an IR camera. This technique detects not only the smallest surface defects, but also internal structural defects under the surface.

Active vs Passive Thermography

Active and passive thermography are techniques used for detecting heat patterns and abnormalities in various applications. While passive thermography relies on naturally occurring temperature changes, active thermography introduces an external energy source to create thermal contrast.

How does the system work?

MoviTHERM’s modular irNDT system works by utilizing active thermography. A heat source provides the inspected material with a thermal excitation. The flow of thermal energy through the material has a direct effect on surface temperatures. The surface temperature is recorded over a certain time period with an infrared camera and analyzed by the irNDT software.

The software produces an image that provides information about the internal structure of the material.

• Non-Contact Defect Detection: Active thermography reveals the most subtle defects that are visibly undetectable.
• Flexible & Expandable: Upgrade a system by adding excitation sources, irNDT methods, and higher end IR cameras.
• irNDT Made Easy: Complex analysis technology is simplified for dependable inspection results.
