DESCRIPTION:

The FLIR A6780 MWIR Series is a family of cooled scientific thermal imaging cameras designed for researchers, engineers, and advanced industrial users who require accurate temperature measurement of fast-moving targets and rapidly changing thermal events. Built around FLIR's proven Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector technology, the series combines high thermal sensitivity, radiometric measurement capability, and flexible optical configurations within a compact GigE-enabled platform.

The A6780 MWIR platform is widely used in aerospace development, defence testing, electronics research, manufacturing process monitoring, non-destructive testing, materials science, and industrial R&D environments. High-speed windowing capabilities, short integration times, and advanced synchronization functions allow users to capture transient thermal events with exceptional precision.

All models feature a 640 × 512 cooled InSb detector with 15 µm pixel pitch and 14-bit radiometric output. The series includes both broadband and band-matched spectral variants as well as f/2.5 and f/4.0 optical configurations to accommodate different measurement requirements. Integrated GigE Vision connectivity enables camera control and radiometric data streaming through FLIR Research Studio and other compatible software platforms.

The cameras incorporate a three-position motorized filter wheel, motorized focus capability, Gigabit Ethernet streaming, SDI video output, and closed-cycle rotary cooling. Optional high-temperature measurement ranges up to 3000°C allow the series to support applications ranging from electronics inspection through to propulsion testing and industrial process analysis.
