Description
About the FLIR X6800sc MWIR Camera
The FLIR X6800sc is a fast, highly sensitive MWIR camera designed for scientists, researchers, and engineers. With advanced triggering and on-camera RAM/SSD recording, this camera offers the functionality to stop motion on high-speed events both in the lab and at the test range. The X6800sc has a cooled FLIR indium antimonide (InSb) detector and captures full 640 × 512 images at 520 frames per second or up to 23,077 Hz with windowing.
- On-Camera Recording, Digital Streaming: Save data to on-camera RAM or to the removable solid-state drive (SSD). Stream high-speed, 14-bit data simultaneously.
- Advanced Filtering Options: Incorporates an easy access, four-position motorized filter wheel that permits filter exchange in any environment, and features automatic filter recognition.
- Synchronizing, Triggering, and Software: Maximum versatility for synchronizing and triggering to external events or instrumentation. Works seamlessly with FLIR ResearchIR Max or third-party software.

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.
